CellarLog Wine Cellar Manager
Sommelier & Drinking Windows
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
CellarLog is your personal wine cellar management app. Catalog your collection, track drinking windows, and get AI-powered recommendations — all from your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
GLASS DESIGN
• A photo-tinted glass interface — now the default theme. Drop in your own cellar photo and the rest of the app picks up its colors. Classic Light and Dark are still on the shelf for the purists.
SCAN & IDENTIFY
• Scan wine barcodes or photograph any label. Our AI sommelier identifies the wine and suggests drinking windows, critic ratings, tasting notes, and food pairings.
ASK THE AI SOMMELIER
• Tap any bottle and ask: "Should I decant this?", "Is it past peak?" Conversational answers in plain language — never an upsell to a different wine.
MANAGE YOUR COLLECTION
• Rack every bottle with vintage, region, grape variety, purchase price, and personal ratings. Know exactly what's in your cellar and when to drink it.
SMART DRINKING WINDOWS
• See at a glance which wines are ready, approaching peak, or need more time. Get notified when bottles enter their ideal window.
APPLE WATCH COMPANION
• Your entire cellar on your wrist. Browse filtered by wine color, peek at your wishlist at the wine shop, and see what's hitting peak tonight. Works standalone — syncs via iCloud. Mark wishlist wines as purchased from your wrist.
WATCH FACE COMPLICATIONS
• How many bottles are ready to drink right now? Always-on wine radar.
HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
• Three widgets for your iPhone Home Screen: a Featured Wine that rotates every four hours, a "What to Drink Today" list of wines hitting peak, and a Cellar Colors donut chart.
PLAN EVENTS
• AI-powered wine pairings and serving-order suggestions based on your collection, guest count, and budget. Generate printable drink sheets with QR codes.
LABEL PRINTING & NFC TAGS
• Print custom labels with QR codes to your Niimbot Bluetooth printer. Write NFC tags for instant bottle identification — tap your phone to pull up any wine.
CELLAR MAP
• Photograph your rack and place bottles directly on it. See your entire collection mapped visually with color-coded drinking windows.
AR BOTTLE INFO
• Point your camera at bottles in your rack to see wine details, drinking status, and ratings overlaid in augmented reality.
TASTING NOTES
• Record notes with aroma, palate, and finish. Rate wines and track whether they were worth the price.
CHARTS & ANALYTICS
• Visualize your collection by color, region, value, and drinking windows. See peak windows, cellar status, highest rated, and most valuable bottles at a glance.
IMPORT, EXPORT & BACKUP
• Round-trip your cellar through a spreadsheet. Export as CSV, edit in Excel, Numbers, or Sheets, and re-import with a full preview. Every row is tagged new, update, or unchanged, with a field-by-field diff. Plus PDF drink sheets and full iCloud backups.
PRIVACY FIRST
• Your collection is stored locally and syncs via your personal iCloud — never on our servers. No account required. No tracking.
CellarLog+ unlocks AI label scanning, event recommendations, label printing, NFC tagging, full analytics, CSV import/export, Home Screen widgets, the Apple Watch app, and watch complications.
Scan packs available for one-time AI credit purchases.
The Lifetime option unlocks everything — including widgets and the Apple Watch app — with no subscription. Buy scan packs anytime for AI.

This app perfectly scanned a 1977 Chianti and correctly identified that the peek window was in 1983! I guess that bottle will be a gag gift :) — but seriously great app.

Freshly Uncorked v1.29
Drink-tonight bottles are now actually tonight's bottles.
Under "What should I open?", the two timing cards finally hold separate ground. "Drink tonight" surfaces only bottles at peak — in the window, hitting the sweet spot, ready to pour. "Clear out the cellar" stays the place for what's already past peak and shouldn't wait any longer. Same cellar, two honest answers — depending on whether you're celebrating or rescuing.
Pour at peak.

Freshly Uncorked v1.28
The year, only when we’re sure. Confirm the vintage when we can’t.
Old labels with no visible vintage, foil over the year, hand-me-down gift bottles — when our AI can’t actually read the vintage off the label, we now ask you instead of quietly guessing. Confirm the year (or mark it Non-Vintage), and the wine gets re-analyzed for that exact vintage. Drinking window, critic scores, tasting notes — all aligned to the year you told us. No more silent off-by-one years sneaking into your cellar.
Pour at peak.
1.28 May 21
Freshly Uncorked v1.27
Critics, on your terms.
Open any wine, edit, tap Critic Ratings, and add the scores. Pick from Wine Spectator, Robert Parker, James Suckling, Vinous, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, Jeb Dunnuck — or type a name we don’t know. Tap to edit, swipe to delete. Multiple critics per bottle, no caps. Your edits stick: when our AI re-runs on the same wine, it fills in the blanks but never overwrites what you put in.
They travel with your CSV.
Export your collection, edit the new “Critic Ratings” column in Excel or Numbers, re-import. Adds, edits, and deletes all round-trip cleanly — same as your tasting notes have for a while. Backup and restore had this since launch; now the spreadsheet path catches up.
Pour at peak.
1.27 May 20
Freshly Uncorked v1.26
We close the loop.
Heard, fixed, pushed back to you.
Tap “Report Incorrect Match” on any wine — wrong vintage, wrong winery, anything off (it happens; just not often) — and we get on it. The moment the entry is corrected, your phone buzzes: “Your wine was corrected. Vintage: 2018 → 2019.” Tap the banner and you’re right back on the bottle, fix already in place. No more wondering if your feedback landed. No more sync-and-pray on next launch.
Notes from the wrist, every time.
Dictate a tasting note on Apple Watch, tap done, walk away — it now reliably lands on your iPhone. The “I swear I added that one” moment is fixed.
Pour at peak.
1.26 May 17
Freshly Uncorked v1.25
Two small fixes. Both punch above their weight.
Notes from the wrist.
Open any wine on Apple Watch and you'll find a new "Add tasting note" button under the existing notes. Tap a star rating, tap the notes field, and dictate — the watch handles the typing. Your note syncs back to your iPhone over iCloud the same way every other entry does. The bottle is right in front of you; no need to put it down and dig out your phone.
Sharing the cellar plays nicely with Mail again.
Sharing the CSV from Settings → Export now produces a real CellarLog YYYY-MM-DD.csv file with the proper file type, rather than a nameless blob of bytes. Outlook and Mail on iPhone attach it correctly, and Excel on iPhone recognises it without you having to rename anything first. Numbers and Sheets were already happy with the export — this just brings the rest of the family along.
Pour at peak.
1.25 May 12
Freshly Uncorked v1.24
The cellar listens better. (And throws a little confetti.)
Round-trip your cellar through a spreadsheet — and bring your tasting notes along this time.
Export your collection as CSV, edit in Excel, Numbers, or Sheets, then re-import. Tasting notes now ride along in their own column, one note per line, with the date and rating already filled in. Every wine also exports with a stable Short ID, so a round-trip through a spreadsheet can't quietly double your collection just because a saved file changed how it spells "Château" under the hood. And anything you've added on the device — a note, a rating, a window edit — is never overwritten or deleted by an import. Only new lines you typed in the spreadsheet become new notes. Edit dozens of wines at once and put it all back exactly the way you found it.
Tasting log on your wrist.
Apple Watch now shows your full tasting log on each wine — the date, the rating, and the actual notes text — right inside the detail view. Two new sort options join the lineup: Country and Vintage. Browse Bordeaux first, or pour the 2015s first, your call.
Surprise me, again.
The fifth card on the What Should I Open? hub is back where it belongs. Tap it and the cellar picks one bottle that's in its window and ready to drink — for you, right now. It briefly went missing during a render-loop fix. It's back, and faster than before.
A little celebration.
Mark a wine as consumed and a quick burst of confetti pops across the screen. Small thing. Feels right.
iPad, but turned.
The wine detail page now resizes correctly when you rotate iPad mid-flight — before, the layout latched to whichever orientation the page first appeared in. Hero label photos also get a taller frame on iPad, so the depth parallax has more glass to play with.
Behind the cork.
NFC scans no longer scroll the cellar list to a random spot before opening the bottle. The shared label database is quieter about duplicates now, so identifying the same château twice no longer leaves twin entries behind. Plus a handful of small fixes you'll feel rather than read about.
Pour at peak.
1.24 May 11
Freshly Uncorked v1.23
The cellar reads minds now. (Almost.)
Tap the Events tab and you'll find a new umbrella prompt: What Should I Open? Five occasions, each one a one-tap shortcut into your own cellar. For a meal runs the food-pairing finder. Bringing somewhere surfaces crowd-pleasers by occasion, budget, and color. Drink tonight shows only what's at peak right now, sortable by Drink Now → Hold or the reverse. Clear out the cellar surfaces bottles past their window before they fade. Surprise me — well, you'll see. No AI scans, no credits, no waiting. Just your cellar, quietly suggesting.
Find any bottle in your cellar by camera.
Tap the lens inside the search bar, point your phone at any bottle on the shelf, and the app drops that wine's name straight into search. No barcode? Doesn't matter. The label scanner now reads stylized typography — wide-tracked caps, decorative serifs, all the choices winemakers love and recognizers hate — and biases recognition toward names that already live in your cellar. Find the bottle, see every vintage you have of it, tap the one you want.
Wine labels, in three dimensions.
Open any wine and watch the label come alive. The bottle gently lifts forward, the background drifts behind it in soft focus, and the whole thing tilts with your phone the way Apple's
lock-screen photos do. Open a bottle for the first time and you'll catch a soft luminous shimmer trace its silhouette — the same magic moment iOS plays when you long-press a subject in Photos. It happens once, then settles in. No setup, no toggle, no per-bottle work — every label you've ever scanned gets the treatment automatically.
Tasting photos sync across devices again.
A schema quirk in earlier versions kept larger tasting photos local to the device they were taken on. Fixed. New photos sync to iCloud cleanly, and your existing ones quietly migrate to the right field on first launch.
Backup & restore got bulletproofed.
A rare CloudKit edge case could leave a user's sync stuck in limbo after a Restore from Backup. The restore flow now validates the archive first, resets the iCloud sync state cleanly, and recreates everything fresh. If you ever found yourself in the bad state, "Clear All Data" in Settings now self-recovers too.
Behind the cork.
A handful of fixes you'll feel rather than read about — picker headers, count lines, paywall ordering, kerning quirks.

Freshly Uncorked v1.22
The cellar got a glass-up.
CellarLog now opens to a brand-new Glass theme by default — a photo-tinted modern interface where your own cellar background sets the mood. Set any photo as the backdrop in Settings → Appearance and the chrome adapts to its colors. The list slides under the title, the search and chips pin where you'd expect, and the whole thing feels less spreadsheet, more wine bar. Prefer Light, Dark, or System? They're still right there in the picker.
iPad gets the glass treatment.
Tile view on iPad now wears the same glass cards, with the same animations, the same sticky chrome — just wider.

Freshly Uncorked v1.19
Import CSV — pour your whole cellar into a spreadsheet, and back again.
Export your collection, fuss over every row in Excel, Numbers, or Sheets, and re-import with a full preview before anything touches your actual cellar. Each row lands tagged
NEW, UPDATE, or UNCHANGED — and for updates, you get a field-by-field diff so you can see exactly what's changing. Matches existing wines by UPC or winery + name + vintage.
Perfect for bulk edits, migrating in from CellarTracker or Vivino, or finally reconciling that backlog spreadsheet you've been meaning to get to since your 2019 Bordeaux haul.
The scanner's manners improved.
When the AI is positive a label isn't wine, it now tells you exactly what it thinks the bottle actually is — no more awkward shrug. (It once described a seltzer as having "crisp
minerality." It's been apologizing ever since.) If we call it wrong, one tap on the new Report button sends it back for review so we get smarter, not stubborner.
The sommelier moves in.
There's now a sommelier living inside every bottle. Tap Ask AI Sommelier on any wine and ask anything — pairings for tonight, decanting time, glassware, whether to cellar it
longer or pour it now. One credit funds four questions per bottle, follow-ups included, so you can actually have a conversation instead of mashing buttons. The chat syncs across
your devices through iCloud and rides along inside backups, so the wisdom you paid for sticks around. If the network blinks mid-question, one tap retries — your message stays
put.

Version 1.16 — Topping Up the Barrels
Not every vintage needs a grand unveiling. Sometimes it's about tending the cellar quietly — dusting the shelves, oiling the hinges, making
sure every cork pulls clean. This one's for the bottles you can't see but definitely count on.
Backups, now without the break — Creating a backup on Mac or iPad no longer tips the whole cellar over. Pours cleanly every time.
Plus a round of behind-the-cellar tune-ups — the kind that make every scan a little faster and every label a little sharper.
1.16 Apr 22
Version 1.14 — A Proper iPad Fit
Your cellar finally stretches out on iPad. Label photos front and center, more wines on screen, and a one-tap toggle back to the list. We also gave the photo viewer real muscles and tightened up the Watch app after your feedback rolled in.
• iPad cellar grid — wines now appear as rich label-photo cards in a responsive grid, defaulting on iPad and leaving iPhone on the familiar
list view. One button in the filter bar flips between grid and list any time.
• Photo viewer, now with pan and zoom — tap any wine's label to expand full-screen, pinch to zoom in, double-tap to snap between fit and 3×, and drag to pan around a zoomed image. Scroll still works normally at default zoom so you can keep reading the details below.
• Apple Watch app polish — bigger fonts across the board (your feedback: "I'd like to read this without squinting"), tidier Ready Tonight layout with the ready/at-peak counts side-by-side, a reworked Stats tab, cleaner detail rows, and a 2×2 tab bar that fits every bottle's name.
• Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets — full-bleed label photos in the Featured Wine widget and a switch to our own bottle icon so widgets feel unmistakably CellarLog at a glance.
• Fixes & polish — smoother wine list deletions (no more pre-animation flicker), faster first launch, better crash protection when syncing AI-enriched data, and an assortment of small cleanups where we found them.
