Pastimes : Wine You Can Enjoy @ Under $20 -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

You know what I would love? A wine cellar camera phone app where you could either scan the UPC or photo the label and it would add the bottle to your cellar database. Along with ratings, current price, recommended drinking window, label pic, etc. Then, you could use that info to print up a "personal wine list". I don't do that, but I know that people do. You can definitely load pictures of the wine into Cellartracker, and there are scanning capabilities. There is also a mobile app called cor.kz that integrates with Cellartracker. It gets mixed reviews, but from what I understand it does allow you to do that. The question of how to do that has probably been covered already in the help forums, if not you can pose the question and you'll probably get an answer from Eric within 24 hours.

Depending on which kind of wine you buy, there isn't consistent bar coding. But, people do sell labels and scanners which you can use to label the wines as they go into the cellar and decrement the inventory as the bottles leave. Some people put the bar code on a label that hangs on the bottle neck. That gives you a place to label what the wine is along with the bar code. Then, just drop the label in a bucket as you leave and periodically take the bucket to your computer to do the update.

To clarify what Mark said in response, the Cor.kz app for the iPhone does what you want. (Of course you need an iPhone first!) You can scan a UPC on a wine bottle to check it IN or OUT of your wine library, or just use the scanner in a store or restaurant to bring up information about the wine. Not perfect, but highly rated. Interacts with and stores your data on cellartracker, so you can use either tool interchangeably for what each does best. More info at the website of the same name (cor.kz). Fred
