Apotheca — Cellars & Wines

Photograph the label and know what it is. Or name the dish and find out what to open. Free, no ads, now in five languages.

Apotheca answers the two questions everyone asks in front of a bottle.

WHAT IS THIS WINE? Photograph the label. The camera reads it, the app searches 206,000 wines and fills in the whole record — producer, region, vintage, grapes, drinking window. You check it and you're done.

WHAT SHOULD I OPEN TONIGHT? Name the dish — grilled steak, salt cod, mushroom risotto, sushi — and Apotheca points to the bottle in YOUR cellar that should be opened, and explains why. No cellar yet? It suggests three wines to look for on the restaurant's list.

YOUR CELLAR, YOUR WAY • Cellar map: every bottle on the shelf and in the slot where it actually sits. • Drinking window: the app tells you when a wine is at its peak — and when it's going past. • Several cellars: the one at home, the one at the house in the country, the one at work. • History: what you've drunk, with your rating and the date. • Import from CellarTracker, Vivino, VinoCell or a spreadsheet.

AMONG FRIENDS Create gatherings, invite the people you follow, and see the bottles each one is bringing — in the right serving order. Found wine clubs, follow what others are opening, talk about the bottles.

YOUR CELLAR IS YOURS What you paid, your tasting notes and where each bottle sits never leave your device — not even to friends. You decide whether to keep a copy in the cloud, and you can turn it off whenever you like. Download everything that's yours, in one file, any time.

ACTUALLY FREE No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases. Nothing is charged, now or later.

In English, Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian — the app follows your device's language.
