Every bottle, with the details
Producer, wine name, vintage, varietal, region, storage spot, how many you have and what format they are in — from a 187 ml piccolo up to a 6 litre imperial.

A cellar is only useful if you remember what is in it. Sip Vino lists every bottle you own in the order it needs drinking, keeps the note you wrote the last time you opened one, and tells you what the whole lot is worth.

The app
The cellar, in order of urgency.
Not alphabetical. Not by vintage. By what you should be opening next.
What it does
A cellar book
A cellar book
that keeps itself.
Built for people with a wine rack and a bad memory, not for sommeliers with a spreadsheet.
Drink windows, sorted
The list leads with what needs drinking: drink soon, then at peak, then past peak, then too young. How the window is worked out is explained below.
Cost against worth
What you paid per bottle, what you reckon it is worth now, and the difference across the whole cellar — broken down by region and by vintage.
One action, two jobs
Tap "Drink one" and the bottle comes off the shelf and the tasting note gets written in the same sheet. Rate it one to five and set fruit, acidity, tannin and body on four sliders.
The history outlives the bottle
Notes keep the producer, name, vintage and varietal on them, so when the last bottle is gone the record of what it tasted like stays behind for the next time you see it on a list.
The cellar never leaves your phone
Bottles, prices and tasting notes are stored on the device and are not uploaded to us. That also means there is no cellar backup or sync yet — the detail is below.
Drink windows
Your window, or our guess.
And the app always tells you which one you are looking at.
01
Tell it yourself
If the producer gave a window, or you simply know, type the drink-from and drink-by years when you add the bottle. Sip Vino takes your word for it and never overrides you.
02
Otherwise it estimates
From the varietal's usual ageing band, the vintage, and the bottle format — big formats age slower. The result is labelled Estimated on screen, with a sentence saying why.
03
Then it sorts the shelf
Every bottle lands in one of four buckets — too young, at peak, drink soon, past peak — and the cellar list puts the urgent ones at the top where you will see them.
An estimate is an estimate. A drink window generated from a varietal
and a vintage knows nothing about the specific producer, the specific year, or how
well your rack holds temperature. Treat it as a prompt to go and look at the bottle,
not as a verdict — and if you disagree, type your own window in and the app will use
that instead.
Also in the box
It is still a Sip app.
Sip Vino is built on the same foundation as Sip, so the drink tracking comes with it — the cellar is what is new.
| Screen | What is on it |
|---|---|
| Cellar | The bottles you own, drink windows, cellar value, tasting notes |
| Home | Today's BAC estimate and calorie ring, recovery time, the drinks you logged |
| Add | Photo scan, upload or type it — the same AI drink recognition Sip uses |
| Stats | BAC trends, calories and macros, dry days, hangover history, CSV export |
| Feed | An optional public feed of drinks people chose to share, and beer ratings |
| Profile | Your account, units, appearance, verification, and account deletion |
The AI photo scan reads drinks in general — it is not a wine-label reader, and the Cellar screen does not use it. Bottles are added by typing.
Privacy
Two halves,
Two halves,
two different answers.
The cellar is local. The rest of the app is not. Your bottles,
what you paid for them and your tasting notes are stored on your device and are
never uploaded to us. The drink tracking half does use an account and our backend —
it signs in through Firebase, saves logged drinks to our servers, and sends photos
you scan to an AI model for identification.
Being local cuts both ways: because the cellar never reaches a server, there is no cellar backup, no sync between devices, and no way for us to restore it if you lose the phone. It is included in your normal encrypted iPhone backups, and that is the only copy. The full detail — including every third party involved in the tracking half — is in the Sip Vino privacy policy, next to the Sip Vino terms of use.
FAQ
The honest answers.
When can I download it?
There is no App Store listing yet. The app is built and in internal testing. Email [email protected] with the subject "Sip Vino launch" and we will write to you once, when it is live.
Can I scan a wine label or a barcode?
No. Bottles are added by typing, with the region and storage location offering back the values you have used before. The camera scanner in the app identifies drinks generally — it is not trained on wine labels and the cellar does not use it.
Does it look up what my wine is worth?
No, and it says so on the valuation screen. There is no market-price feed. Bottles you have not revalued yourself are counted at what you paid for them, so "estimated worth" means your estimate, not an auction result.
Will my cellar sync to another device or back up?
Not today. The cellar lives in local storage on one phone. It travels in an encrypted iPhone backup, but there is no account-based sync or server-side copy of it, and we cannot restore it for you.
Does it use Apple Health?
No. Sip Vino requests no HealthKit permissions and reads nothing from the Health app. If you want hydration in Health, that is Sip Water.
Is it the same account as Sip?
Yes. Sip and Sip Vino sign in against the same Delta Metrics account, so one profile covers both and deleting your account covers both. Note that account deletion removes the server-side data — your local cellar is removed by deleting the app.
What will it cost?
Not announced. The app has subscription tiers built in for the tracking features, but nothing in the cellar is behind them today, and we are not quoting launch pricing before there is a listing to put it on.
How many varietals does it know?
Twenty-three, from Cabernet Sauvignon and Nebbiolo through Champagne, Rosé, Port and Sherry, plus an "other" option. Each one carries its own ageing band, which is what the drink-window estimate is built on.
