Why a wine cellar app instead of a spreadsheet?
Many wine lovers start with an Excel file or a note on their phone. That works until you own more than a few cases. Then you lose overview: which bottles should be opened first, what is left from that one producer, and what is the collection actually worth? A wine cellar app keeps track automatically. In Wijnfeld you add a wine once with producer, name, origin and grapes, then record per vintage how many bottles you have, with price, supplier and cellar location.
Bottle-level inventory: every bottle its own record
Most wine inventory apps work with quantities: “6 bottles of Barolo 2019”. Wijnfeld works at bottle level. Six bottles are six records, each with its own purchase date, price, location and status (in stock, reserved or consumed). You know exactly which bottle you bought from that merchant in 2021, which bottle is reserved for Christmas, and your purchase value and estimated collection value always add up.
Cellar locations: never search the rack again
Recreate your cellar in Wijnfeld with racks, columns and slots, for example A-03-04. Every bottle gets a location. Ask later “where is my Barolo 2019?” and the sommelier only returns locations of bottles that are actually still there.
Enter your collection quickly: scan labels or import CSV
Entering an existing collection need not take weeks. Take a photo of the label and Wijnfeld suggests producer, name, vintage and origin; you check and confirm. Already have a list? Download the CSV template, fill it in and import up to 1,000 rows at a time. A row with six bottles automatically becomes six individual bottles.
A wine cellar that thinks along
The difference between a list and a real digital wine cellar is advice. Wijnfeld calculates a personal taste profile from your tasting notes, tracks drinking windows and lets you ask questions in plain language: which wine should I drink this year, what goes with rack of lamb, how much champagne is left? Answers always come from your own cellar, never from a generic database.
Secure and yours
Your collection is private, visible only to you and exportable at any time. The AI has no free access to your data, only controlled functions. Wijnfeld runs in the EU and works on your phone, tablet and desktop, including as an app on your home screen.
Frequently asked questions
What is a digital wine cellar?
A digital wine cellar is an online record of your wine collection: which wines and vintages you own, how many bottles, where they are, what they cost and when to drink them. Wijnfeld adds a personal sommelier that answers questions about your cellar.
Is a wine cellar app useful for a small collection?
Yes. The Starter plan is free and suitable for up to 50 different wines. Especially with a smaller collection it helps to follow drinking windows so no bottle is left past its peak.
Does Wijnfeld work on my phone?
Yes. Wijnfeld is a web app that works on smartphone, tablet and desktop and can be installed as an app on your phone. On WhatsApp you can ask questions without opening the app at all.
Can I take my collection with me if I stop?
Yes. You can export your full inventory as a CSV file at any time. Your data stays yours.
