The Cellar is a wine cellar app for iPhone and iPad that gives the whole cellar drink windows and alerts for free, with no account, and adds an AI sommelier for those who want one.
In a paragraph
The Cellar keeps track of what you have, where it is, and when each bottle is at its best. Every wine's drink window is shown in three stages, with where the window came from, and alerts point out the bottles that need attention. Cellar Design lays out a room for 300 or 10,000 bottles in 3D, with a place for every bottle and a move list to get there. Bottles go in by scanning a label or barcode, by typing, or by importing a spreadsheet or a CellarTracker or Vivino export. The cellar lives on the device, works with no signal, and needs no account. All of that is free. Pro, the one paid plan, holds the AI features: a sommelier that picks from your own bottles, drink windows researched for each wine with their sources, label lookups and today's prices.
