Personal Wine Cellar

Personal Wine Cellar is a personal wine inventory app that runs entirely on your device. No account, no servers, no analytics - your cellar is yours. CELLAR MANAGEMENT

• Full inventory grouped by type: Reds, Whites, Roses, Sparkling, Dessert, Fortified
• Each bottle tracks producer, wine name, vintage, varietal, region, country, quantity, rating, price paid, optional barcode, optional label photo, AI-estimated market value
• Special-occasion and drink-soon flags that the pairing engine respects
• Cellar stats: bottle count, distinct wines, total cost, total market value
• Zero-quantity wines move to a collapsible Previously Opened section so the active cellar stays clean

SCAN WITH AI A unified Scan tab with three modes:

• Find in cellar: match an existing bottle by label or barcode and jump to it
• Add new: snap a label or scan a barcode and AI fills the form for you
• At the store: Buy, Skip, or Already have, with a synthesized critic review summary and reasoning grounded in your existing cellar

Barcodes are read instantly (UPC/EAN). Label identification needs your AI key. Bottles you add with a barcode are matched locally next time, no AI call.

CUISINE-AWARE PAIRING Type any dish and the engine classifies it as Indian, Western, or Chinese and applies that cuisine's rules. The Indian rules go deepest, reading heat level, curry base (tomato, coconut, cream, tamarind), and protein. Each recommendation comes with a plain-English reason and a "why this works" teaching note.

For dishes the rules don't cover well, an optional AI second opinion fills in.

OPEN WITH A RATING Opening a bottle prompts for a 1-5 star rating, notes, "buy more if I see it" flag, and date. The Log shows ratings and "buy more" chips so you can scan your history when deciding whether to re-stock. Bottle detail pages surface the full opened history of that wine.

CELLAR-WIDE AI TOOLS In Settings, Cellar AI Tools offers three batch operations:

• Fill missing tasting notes
• Refresh market values
• Generate per-bottle pairing hints (which the rules engine consults to boost matching bottles)

All three skip bottles refreshed within the last year and tell you exactly how many are missing, stale, or fresh.

BRING YOUR OWN KEY Personal Wine Cellar talks to either Anthropic Claude (paid) or Google Gemini (free tier available). You provide your API key in Settings; it stays on your device and is never shared. Optionally pick a fallback provider that auto-retries on quota failures.

BACKUP AND RESTORE Single-file JSON export of your entire cellar: bottles, log entries, and label photos. Save to iCloud Drive, email it to yourself, or AirDrop to your Mac. Restore on a new device in seconds.

ON-DEVICE FIRST Personal Wine Cellar collects nothing. No telemetry, no analytics, no account. Your AI key only goes to the AI provider you chose, and only when you scan a label or invoke a Cellar AI Tool.
