A wine cellar inventory keeps track of every bottle in your collection — vintage, region, grape, tasting notes, and optimal drinking window. Stop searching through your cellar and know exactly what you have and what to open next.

How to Use the Wine Cellar Inventory
A disorganized wine cellar means forgotten bottles past their prime, duplicate purchases, and no idea what's available for tonight's dinner. This wine cellar inventory gives you a complete, searchable catalog of every bottle you own.
Step 1: Add Your Wine Collection
Start with the wines you're most likely to drink soon. Enter the wine name, vintage year, color, region, and grape variety. The price paid field helps you track investment value over time. For the drink-by year, consult wine review sites like Wine Spectator or Vivino for drinking windows specific to the wine and vintage.
Step 2: Track Multiple Bottles
Use the quantity field if you have multiple bottles of the same wine. Three bottles of the 2019 Barossa Shiraz should be one entry with quantity 3, not three separate entries. This keeps your inventory manageable and calculates total value correctly (quantity × price).
Step 3: Monitor Your Drink-By Dates
The "Drink Soon" stat shows wines within 2 years of their drink-by date. Sort by "Drink By (soonest)" to see which bottles need to be opened before they decline. Most everyday wines are best within 5-10 years of vintage; premium reds from Bordeaux and Burgundy can improve for 20-30 years.
Step 4: Add Tasting Notes After Opening
Click the edit button on any wine after opening a bottle to add tasting notes and a rating. This creates a personal wine journal — useful for remembering which wines impressed you and which to avoid purchasing again. Subtract from the quantity when you drink a bottle.
Exporting Your Cellar
Click "Export CSV" to download your collection in a spreadsheet format. Import into Excel or Google Sheets to create custom reports, share your cellar list with guests, or print a physical cellar map. Export periodically as a backup — browser data clearing will erase localStorage.
FAQ
Is this wine cellar inventory free?
Yes, completely free with no account required. All your wine data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage — nothing leaves your device.
How many bottles can I track?
There's no hard limit. localStorage typically supports 5-10MB of data, which is enough for thousands of wine entries. For very large collections (500+ wines), consider exporting CSV periodically as a backup.
Can I export my wine collection?
Yes. Click Export CSV to download your entire collection as a CSV file you can open in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers. This is useful for printing a cellar list or creating a backup before clearing browser data.
What wine regions are included?
The tool includes 20+ major wine regions: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Rhône, Rioja, Priorat, Tuscany, Piedmont, Veneto, Barossa Valley, Napa Valley, Sonoma, Willamette Valley, Mendoza, and more. You can also type any custom region.
How does the drink-by date work?
Enter an estimated drink-by year for each wine. The inventory will flag wines approaching their window (within 2 years of today) and wines past their optimal drinking window. Use this to prioritize what to open next.
Can I track quantities for the same wine?
Yes — use the quantity field when adding a wine. If you have 6 bottles of the same wine, enter 6 rather than adding 6 separate entries. The total value calculation uses quantity × price paid.
