My Wine Cellar tracks all of your wine purchases and consumption over time. Easily determine which wines are your favorites, which are in stock and which ones are in need of replenishing. My Wine Cellar ships with a full set of varieties and countries to make entry swift and easy. If a match is not found during auto-completion data entry, you can add new wines, wineries, varieties and countries on the fly. Bar code scan feature will search for wines in your cellar to facilitate inventory updates and reconciliation. If a wine is not located, a new entry will be initiated with the bar code entered. This full featured app generates current and historical statistics of you wine usage and provides you with a mechanism for backing up to Dropbox or sharing your entire inventory through email. The free version is feature complete but limits you to a maximum of 8 unique wines. After that, if you are enjoying using the app, a one-time in-app purchase will remove that restriction.
