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.

Champagne, decoded. Parcelles is a detailed, data-driven explorer of Champagne: its 8,000+ vineyard parcels and the champagnes made from them. From the chalk beneath the vines to the bottle in your hand, Parcelles brings it all together in one beautiful app, on iPhone and iPad. EXPLORE THE REGION Browse the entire Champagne wine region on a detailed interactive map. Tap any parcel to see its name, village, and classification instantly. Search across every vineyard, village, producer, and champagne. On iPad, the map and a floating detail panel sit side by side. EVERY CHAMPAGNE Explore the whole champagne catalogue of the region, from the grandes maisons to the smallest growers. Browse, search, and filter by cru, style, dosage, and grape variety to reach exactly the bottle you have in mind. INSIDE EVERY BOTTLE Open each bottle up. See the blend grape by grape, trace any cuvee back to the exact parcels it draws from, and read a portrait of the wine. Producer profiles connect every house to the land behind it. SAVED, PINNED, MEASURED Keep vineyards, producers, and champagnes on your account, each with a note and in lists of your own. Drop a pin with a note anywhere on the map, and measure a row, a parcel, or the elevation along a line. KNOW YOUR TERROIR Every parcel analyzed with altitude, slope, aspect, sun exposure, soil composition, and rankings against all of Champagne. Understand what makes each vineyard unique. WHAT LIES BENEATH Geology overlays, contour lines, and hillshade reveal the land that shapes each vineyard. The vineyard diorama builds any parcel as a lit 3D model with its surroundings, and a sun you can move through the day and the year. Elevation profiles show the surface geology and the rock layers below, reconstructed from real boreholes. DECADES OF CLIMATE Growing degree days, rainfall, frost, and sunshine decade by decade since 1950. See how climate has shaped the vines, the best years and the worst, all-time records, village by village. Plus a Climate Outlook with CMIP6 projections through 2040. SEASON TRACKER Follow the growing season day by day. Growing degree days, a 3-day forecast, frost warnings, vintage archetype forecasts, and harvest predictions, village by village, updated daily. AROUND ME Visiting Champagne? Discover which vineyards surround you, sorted by distance. Stand on the terroir and read it from your phone.
