Manage Your Cellar
By perryd | December 21, 2007
Once you have more than a few dozen bottle sof wine in the house you’ll probably start to develop some way of keeping track of them. Maybe a little Excel spreadsheet, or a database, or index cards in a box. I like Tellico a lot, which is a general-purpose collection tracker that has been around for quite some time. It’s currently only available for Linux, though, and you need to be sitting at the computer where it’s installed in order to use it.
For about a year now I’ve been using a web site called Manage Your Cellar to keep track of my wine. Since it is web-based I can use it from anywhere, and it allows me to import and export spreadsheets easily. I can drag a laptop into the cellar to do a quick inventory, or pull up a wine at a friend’s house that I can’t quite remember the name of. The interface is easy to use and offers quick entry of wines, price lookups, reviews that span owners, and several types of search. Catherine Granger launched the site in 2004 after developing the software to track her own growing collection.
The best part? It’s free! Here’s a link to Manage Your Cellar.
