Know exactly what wine you own and exactly where it sits. Vinventory is a wine cellar tracker built around two ideas: adding a bottle should take seconds, and finding it later should take less. SCAN THE LABEL, SKIP THE TYPING Photograph the front and back label and Vinventory reads the producer, wine, vintage and region for you. Label scanning runs on your device, so nothing about your cellar leaves your phone. A 3D MODEL OF YOUR FRIDGE Build your wine fridge, rack or cellar shelf by shelf, with rows that hold different numbers of bottles front to back. Shelves pull out in 3D, and each bottle shows its own label photo. Give a bottle a slot and you never hunt for it again. EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERY BOTTLE - Front and back label photos - Vintage, producer, region, grape and country - Quantity, purchase date and ratings - Your own tasting notes and pairing ideas - Suggested drinking windows A LIBRARY THAT FILLS ITSELF IN Start typing a wine and Vinventory completes the details from a built-in library of well-known wines. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Vinventory is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). INSIGHTS ON YOUR COLLECTION See your cellar by region, grape, vintage and bottle count, and spot what is ready to drink. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Export your whole cellar as a CSV any time. Whether you keep a dozen bottles in a wine fridge or a few hundred in a cellar, Vinventory keeps your collection organized, searchable and always at hand.
