IMPORTANT: This is the classic, legacy version of CellarTracker. For the best experience, we recommend installing the new version of the app, “CellarTracker: #1 Wine Tracker”. The classic version of the app will not be receiving new feature updates. CellarTracker is the world's largest collection of wine reviews, tasting notes and personal stories from people who love wine — now available for iPhone and iPad! • Read & Write Wine Reviews • Find over 4.4 million wines, read more than 12 million tasting notes (community and professional) for great recommendations, and join a community of over 888,000 users to share your opinions. Fully integrated with professional reviews from Antonio Galloni, Stephen Tanzer, Allen Meadows, Jancis Robinson, Decanter and more (separate subscriptions may be required). • Manage Your Collection • Use our online cellar management tool to track your collection, see its value, and much more. Users are currently managing 168 million bottles and counting! • Label Recognition • Search for a wine by taking a photo of the label, or quickly capture photos and notes of multiple wines for later reference. Access your entire history of captured labels to remember what you've been drinking. • Scan Barcodes • Easily scan UPC/EAN barcodes on wines, as well as custom CellarTracker barcodes, to make cellar management a breeze. • Track Consumption History • CellarTracker allows you to track what you've been drinking — from your cellar, a restaurant, winery or anywhere — and add your own tasting notes, ratings and label images. This app requires internet connectivity to operate. Certain functionality, such as managing your cellar or tracking consumption history, require a free CellarTracker account. Optional paid CellarTracker accounts provide access to additional functionality, including automatic valuation. Some professional reviews require separate subscriptions to those publications to enable integration.
