Inventory that matches a real cellar
Cellars are not standardized. One person has a temperature-controlled cabinet; another has racks, cases and off-site storage. Bonvin uses a flexible location field, so a bottle can live at “EuroCave, shelf 3, left” or any description that makes sense to its owner.
Quantity is stored separately from the wine identity. Six bottles of the same vintage remain one clear wine record with an accurate bottle count, instead of six duplicate cards.
Drinking windows you can use
Bonvin keeps the estimated drinking window next to the vintage, region and bottle details that inform it. Ready now, drink soon and keep resting views turn maturity guidance into a practical shortlist.
A drinking window is guidance, not a guarantee. Storage history, producer style, bottle condition and personal preference can move the ideal moment, so Bonvin keeps the estimate editable and the reasoning visible.
An approximate value for the collection
Record what you paid and follow an estimated current value by bottle and across the cellar. Every market estimate should include its currency, source and update date so an old price never looks current by accident.
Bonvin treats value as a planning reference, not a guaranteed sale price or investment promise. Condition, provenance, taxes, fees and local availability all affect what a bottle can actually sell for.
A useful overview, not a database screen
- Browse the collection visually by wine type.
- Search by producer, wine, vintage, region or storage location.
- See bottles that are ready now or approaching their estimated window.
- Open a bottle and begin a tasting entry in the same flow.
