InVintory: Wine Cellar Manager

Hello, I don’t remember exactly when I first signed up, but I’m currently managing about 400 bottles across six wine fridges, and this app has become an essential part of my system. One of my favorite features is the ability to tap and visually locate a bottle—it’s incredibly helpful and saves time. The app also offers a wide range of features, and overall I find the interface intuitive and easy to navigate. I do have a few suggestions for improvement. First, there are limitations when setting up shelves with varying bottle capacities. Some of my shelves don’t hold the same number of bottles per row, which makes accurate setup in the app a bit challenging. Greater flexibility in configuring shelf layouts would make a big difference. Second, I would love to see an option to view an entire shelf when using the “locate” feature. Ideally, selecting a bottle would open a full-shelf view so you can visually scan all labels at once. If this feature exists, I haven’t been able to find it. Lastly, the drinking window feature isn’t something I rely on. I’ve opened several bottles marked as “beyond their drinking life” that were still showing excellent structure and aging potential. Because of that, I tend to trust my own judgment more than this indicator. That said, I want to emphasize that I use and genuinely enjoy this app—it’s a fantastic tool for managing a collection of this size.

This app is so nice and gives you thorough guides and info on the specific wine you have. I love how it shows what will pair well with your wine and - if available - further information about the region/location it is grown and produced in. You get to know about the specific wine YOU own, which makes the experience so much more unique. I just wish majority of the app wasn’t restricted behind a monthly paywall. Some features aren’t available unless you pay monthly, which sort of restricts some key features I would like to use. I understand finding the app, I just wish there was a possible other way of going about it than a monthly payment. Regardless of the restrictions, the overall free experience somewhat makes up for it. I love getting to know more about my wines and what would go well with it. Overall, very positive experience. Thank you, InVintory!

Overall, I love InVintory, and I use it constantly. It’s a great app, and they’re constantly improving it, so it does keep getting better. That said, I happen to use the Deliveries function a great deal - tracking en primeur orders, for example - and that function, in particular, is a mess (on the iPad version, it’s been “under construction” for months… and months… and months). Seeing info about what is waiting to be delivered - price paid, date purchased, etc. - is klugey and unreliable. And it’s frustrating that linking between vintage info, including reviews, and bottle info (re already-owned wines) is sometimes one-directional and therefore requires a separate search in “Search Wines.” Still, with high expectations that they will eventually get it all “finished,” I am confident that it is the best wine cellar app on the market bar none. And I do love the many improvements they keep making. BTW, a small simple additional improvement would be to add a “Format” option under Analytics, so you can look through your collection by sizes if you’re planning an occasion and thinking you want the perfect magnum or d-mag or 6L for the event.
