About

Cellar

Features
Read full description

Point your camera at a wine label. Cellar reads the name, vintage, producer, region and grape by itself, so a new bottle takes one photo, not a form. Your cellar looks the way a real one does: bottles standing on wooden racks. Pinch out to see every rack at once, pinch in to read a label off the glass. Swipe between racks the way you'd walk along them. Open a bottle and it moves to what's still breathing. Finish it and rate it, the one thing about a bottle only you can say. Search finds any word on any label, not just the fields you filled in, so a producer or region you half remember still turns up the bottle. Rack, case or box: organize your cellar however it actually sits, not however an app assumes it should. Everything stays on your phone. Nothing about your cellar goes anywhere else. WHAT'S INSIDE - Camera scan reads label details automatically - Visual racks you pinch to zoom, exactly like standing in front of them - Search across every word on every label - Track what's open, what's finished, and your own rating - Multiple racks, including cases and boxes - Notices when a vintage turns a year older Privacy Policy: https://mywinecorner.com/privacy
