About

Cellar & Cask

Read full description

Most cellar apps assume you already know what you own. Cellar & Cask is for everything else: the Bordeaux your father laid down, the bourbon you were lucky to find, the Cognac nobody has touched since 1994. What is this bottle? Take a photo. The app works out whether it is wine, whisky or another spirit, reads the label and files it in your register. You get what matters for that kind of bottle: vintage, appellation and grapes for wine; distillery, age statement, cask and allocation status for whisky; category and production base for rum, tequila, mezcal, gin, vodka, Cognac and Armagnac. No label to photograph? Add a bottle by name. What is it all worth? Everything you own sits in one list, filtered by type, region, vintage or value. Add quantities, what you paid and where each bottle is stored. The total is shown as an honest range, not an invented number, next to what you spent. Price check then searches current online listings for comparable bottles so you can narrow that range. What condition is it in? Every bottle gets a condition sheet like the ones auction houses write: fill level, label, capsule or seal, signs of leakage or heat, and any counterfeit warning signs worth showing to an expert. Drink it, keep it or sell it? Wine peaks and fades. The drinking-window view shows what to open this year and what deserves more time. Spirits do not change in the bottle, so for those you see the fill level and whether the release is allocated, limited or discontinued. What do I give my insurer? Export the whole collection as a dated PDF or CSV with photos, condition, value ranges, purchase prices and storage locations. It is the inventory insurers and estate lawyers ask for, and it takes an afternoon instead of a week. Also inside: fill-level grading, serving and decanting, a vintage guide, food pairing, a proof and dilution calculator, glassware, and distillery reputation. Available in 25 languages. What it is not Estimates are indicative. They rely on your photos and on public listings. They are not a certified appraisal, and no app can authenticate a bottle from a picture. Cellar & Cask does not sell alcohol. For adults of legal drinking age. Subscription A number of scans are free. Cellar & Cask Pro, weekly or yearly, unlocks unlimited scans, price check, collection totals and report export. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
