You are handed a wine list with sixty bottles on it and four minutes to decide. Cellar reads the whole thing and tells you what is actually worth ordering. Photograph the pages. In seconds you get the best value picks across three price tiers, anchored to what this list actually charges, with a short explanation of why each bottle punches above its price. THE WINE LIST, DECODED - Snap up to 20 pages, or import photos, a PDF link, or a file - Picks split into entry, mid, and splurge, priced off the list in front of you - Plain reasoning for every pick, plus what to skip and why - Tell it what you are eating and get pairings alongside the picks - Filter by red, white, rose, or bubbles, and include by the glass pours A BOTTLE, IDENTIFIED - Point the camera at a label for producer, region, style, and drinking window - See whether the price in front of you is fair before you commit YOUR CELLAR, TRACKED - Log what you own with cost basis, and see what the collection is worth - Ask what to open tonight, or plan what to buy for a dinner - Keep a tasting journal of what you drank and what you thought A PALATE THAT LEARNS - Rate what you drink and Cellar builds a picture of your taste - Later picks get scored against that palate, with a note on why it fits - Save favorites, revisit past scans, share a pick with the table BUILT FOR THE DIM-LIT TABLE Dark by default, readable at a candlelit table, fast enough to use while the server is waiting. Your scans sync across devices and stay readable offline. Sign in with Apple. Delete your account and everything in it whenever you want. Cellar gives you an informed opinion, not gospel. Prices and ratings are estimates, and the last word on what to drink is always yours.
