About

Cellar Ledger

Read full description

Your whole cellar, in order, every bottle, what it's worth, and what's ready to drink tonight. Cellar Ledger is a serious wine cellar tracker for people with a real collection, built on one simple promise: cataloging your cellar is free forever, and the price never scales with how many bottles you own. Most cellar apps charge you more the bigger your collection gets, or lock the basics behind a subscription. Cellar Ledger does the opposite. Add, edit, search and organise unlimited bottles. 7 or 700, without ever paying for the privilege of having a real cellar. Built for how collectors actually work: Manual-first entry that's fast, not fiddly. Type a producer or wine and the built-in database (over 180,000 real wines) autocompletes the rest, no unreliable label-scanning that guesses wrong. You stay in control of your own records. Know what your cellar is worth. Cellar Ledger keeps a running, honest estimate of your collection's value and what you've invested, the number serious collectors actually care about, without a spreadsheet. See what's ready tonight. Drinking-window estimates surface the bottles at their peak, so you open the right thing instead of forgetting it at the back of the rack. Rich detail on demand. Tap any wine for region, grape and style, food pairings, and a drinking-window estimate, generated when you want it, on the wines you care about. Organise by colour, region, vintage and style, search your own tasting notes instantly, and keep a proper log of what you've opened and what you thought. What you get free, forever: Go further with Pro: Cellar Ledger Pro is one flat annual price, or a one-time lifetime purchase if you'd rather never think about it again. Whichever you choose, it unlocks the whole app, there is no bigger tier for bigger collections, because punishing you for having a real cellar is exactly the thing this app was built against. Your cellar, your records, your call. Estimated values and drinking windows are rough guidance for personal reference only, never a market quote, an appraisal, or investment advice. Cellar Ledger Pro is available as an annual subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings.
