Digitize your wine cellar in 3 steps
digitize wine cellar — learn how DWINER helps wine lovers manage their cellar.
You digitize your wine cellar in three steps: (1) create an account and first storage location(s), (2) capture wines via scan, document or import, (3) add vintage, bin location and notes. After that you get search, overview, lists and food pairing instead of paper chaos. With DWINER you start without an IT project — Free covers your first digitization sprint.
Step 1: Create cellar / storage locations
Create your account and the first storage location. Multiple cellars are possible — the count depends on plan. Later you can relocate and filter by cellar.
Step 2: Scan or import bottles
- Label scan: Scan wine bottles.
- Document scan: invoice/OHK — often several wines and supplier in one pass.
- Import assistant: Excel with mapping, preview and templates.
- Manual: add individual wines without scanning.
Norbert (wine enthusiast) reported capturing around 400 bottles via scan in under three hours.
Step 3: Data quality, lists and overview
Vintage, bin, history, notes. Start a tasting or favorites list early (sort, copy, PDF/Excel). Dashboards show stock, value and movements.
Common mistakes to avoid
| Mistake | Better |
|---|---|
| Keep maintaining only Excel | Migrate once (import assistant); app as system of record |
| No storage locations | Create structure / multiple cellars immediately |
| Scan without a quick check | Briefly verify vintage/origin |
| Make everything “perfect” at once | Inventory first, polish later |
