Your wine cellar deserves more than a simple list. Vinum turns your wine collection into a clear, visual, and enjoyable cellar. Find any bottle in seconds, see exactly where it is stored, and understand which wines are ready to drink, worth keeping, or waiting to be discovered. SEE YOUR WHOLE COLLECTION • Catalog bottles by producer, appellation, region, color, and vintage • Photograph a label to automatically fill in the wine’s information • Track quantities, locations, and the total spent: the sum of your purchase prices • Follow your cellar’s purchase value, month by month • Organize multiple cellars with visual shelf and position layouts • Search and filter your entire collection instantly FIND EVERY BOTTLE No more searching through racks. Vinum remembers the cellar, shelf, and exact position of every wine. Color-coded 2D layouts make it easy to spot the bottle you need and see available spaces. Reorganize your cellar naturally by dragging a bottle to a new position. If the destination is occupied, Vinum automatically swaps the two bottles. CHOOSE THE RIGHT MOMENT • Browse vintage rankings, one year at a time, with the bottles you own • Identify bottles approaching their ideal drinking window • Let Vinum suggest what to drink tonight, by drinking window, season and dish • Find food and wine pairing suggestions based on the wines you own • Start a serving timer for aeration or bringing to temperature • Keep a list of wines to rebuy EXPLORE THE VINEYARD MAP See your collection on an interactive map. Each wine region displays how many bottles you own, from Bordeaux and Burgundy to Champagne, the Rhône Valley, Provence, and beyond. REMEMBER EVERY WINE • Record tastings and personal notes • Review purchases, removals, and tasted bottles in your activity journal • Find wines and tastings with Siri and Spotlight ON THE WRIST A complication shows what is ready to drink. The list opens in one tap, with the serving temperature and the decanting advice. Two things travel back from the wrist: “I drank this one”, and a rating set with the crown. A HANDBOOK IS INCLUDED Eighteen illustrated chapters, readable offline. What each screen does, and the wine behind it. Drinking windows, decanting, blends, pairings: all learned as you use the app. DESIGNED AROUND YOUR PRIVACY Your cellar data stays under your control. Vinum works without an account, advertising, or ad tracking. iCloud sync, on by default when you are signed in to iCloud, keeps your cellar up to date across all your devices; you can turn it off at any time in Settings ▸ Database. Whether you keep a few carefully chosen bottles or manage a serious collection, Vinum helps you understand your cellar, and open every bottle at its best. Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health. Please drink responsibly.
