Quick answer
- Cellar is what you own. Wishlist is what you do not own yet. Keep them apart.
- Items are added from the mobile app, then reviewed on either surface.
- Give each wishlist item a priority and a note about why, or the list becomes noise.
Wishlist versus cellar
This is the distinction that keeps your numbers honest. Anything in your cellar counts towards stock, valuation and wine cards. Anything on your wishlist does not.
When you add a wine in the mobile app you are asked what you want to do:
- Add to Cellar: you own these bottles. Records quantity, storage and price.
- Add to Wishlist: you want to buy it. Saves the wine and your reason.
- Add Tasting Note: you drank it. Records your rating and notes, see Tasting notes and ratings.
Choosing correctly at this step is what stops a wishlist wine from quietly inflating your cellar value.
What you can record on a wishlist item
- Notes: why you want it. A vintage to chase, a producer a guest asked for, a gap in the by-the-glass line-up.
- Estimated price: what you expect to pay.
- Priority: high, medium or low.
- The date it was added, recorded automatically.
The note matters more than it looks. A wishlist of bare wine names is unusable six months later.
Reviewing your list
Open Favourites in the web app. The list is split into tabs:
- Wishlist: wines you want to buy
- Considering: wines you are still thinking about
- Tasted: wines you have recorded an impression of
- Tasting Notes: your notes in full
Filter by search term (wine name, winery or your own notes), by style, or by priority, and reset the filters in one click.
Quick View opens a wine without leaving the list, showing your notes and estimated price alongside the wine's own data: grape composition, tasting notes, serving suggestions and food pairings.
On mobile
The Favourites tab carries the same data, grouped as Favourites, Tasting Notes and Wishlist. Scanning is the quickest way to add to it: see a bottle you like on a list somewhere, scan it, save it to the wishlist with a note.
Working the list
A wishlist earns its place when you use it as a buying input rather than an archive.
- Review it before an ordering round.
- Move anything you buy into the cellar as part of receiving it, see Receiving deliveries.
- Delete what you no longer want. A stale wishlist is worse than an empty one.
What your plan includes
The wishlist is available on every plan, including Free. See Tier entitlements and plan limits.
