Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about managing your wine collection with InVintory.
Which plan is best for me?
Free
Free is designed for someone building their collection with approximately 10-99 bottles. If you are looking for a platform to help keep track of what bottles you have and past wine experiences, Free is ideal for you.
Premium
Premium is the next step up and unlocks many additional features. It is built for collections with a fridge or simple wine wall with roughly 100-300 bottles.
The main difference between Premium and Free is that Premium will help you find the exact location of a specific bottle in your collection through our proprietary technology VinLocate. You recreate your fridge or wall row-by-row or bin-by-bin, assign your wines to slots, and VinLocate will show you visually where each bottle is.
You also receive access to:
- Our AI wine assistant, Vincent
- Collection analytics
- Cellar value tracking
- Delivery reminders for futures or allocation wines
- Custom fields in your wine collection list
- Unlimited custom tags
- Critic reviews and ratings
- and more!
Elite
Elite is our top-tier bespoke solution for the elite collector. It is ideal for someone with multiple wine walls or complete cellars, typically with 300+ bottles.
With Elite, we build you a completely custom, interactive, 3D rendering of your wine cellar, including all its unique details such as wooden cases, magnum bottles, and artwork. Elite can also integrate with temperature and humidity sensors and has advanced features.
How much does InVintory cost?
There are three tiers on the InVintory app – Free, Premium, and Elite.
- Free is entirely free.
- Premium is $149.99 a year.
- For Elite, please contact us for pricing.
If you are Canadian, you are billed in CAD currency. If you are American or are located anywhere else in the world, you are billed in USD.
Can I import my collection data from other platforms?
Yes! You can build your collection very quickly on InVintory by importing your data from another platform such as an excel spreadsheet, CellarTracker, or Vivino. We are not affiliated with CellarTracker or Vivino. Our team of sommeliers will then review your wines and match them to our database.
To upload an excel spreadsheet:
To migrate from CellarTracker:
- Select CellarTracker from the options here and follow the steps listed.
To migrate from Vivino:
- Log in to your Vivino account and locate 'Settings' under your profile.
- Scroll down to the end of the page and click 'Start an export'.
- Once the file is ready, click 'Download' (a .zip file will be downloaded).
- Double click to open the zip file.
- Open the folder and locate the 'cellar.csv' file.
- Upload here.
Can I export my InVintory collection data?
Yes, you can export all the wines and data you add into InVintory to a CSV or PDF file. You can also filter your collection by certain fields (such as purchase price, region, etc.) and export that list.
Do you show market values?
Yes. InVintory pulls market data from Liv-ex and Wine Labs to value every bottle, shows how your collection's total value changes + over time, and helps you decide whether to drink, hold, or sell - before you pull the cork.
Do you show a bottle's ideal drink window?
Yes. All InVintory users are able to access ideal drink window data on any bottle in our database. We also allow you to adjust drink windows according to your preference. You can also filter your collection by a certain drink window and export all the applicable bottles.
Do you show critic reviews?
We display critic reviews for most commercially sold wines inside our Premium and Elite plans.
Do you have community reviews?
Yes. All InVintory users have the ability to see and leave reviews on any wine in our database. We encourage collectors to upvote reviews they find helpful.
Can I add private label wines to my collection?
Yes, you can add any wine to your InVintory collection, even if it's not a mass produced wine or if we don't have it yet in our database.
Can I share my InVintory subscription with a partner or wine manager?
Yes, if you’d like to share your collection with someone, you do not have to pay for two separate Premium or Elite accounts. Just add them as a collaborator to your account. You can have unlimited collaborators.
How does InVintory compare to CellarTracker?
Both CellarTracker and InVintory have good:
1) Functionality
Both have key functions of adding and removing bottles, as well as collection market value. InVintory has a ton of functions, like an AI wine assistant, custom lists, cellar analytics (see what you've spent, a breakdown of your collection, etc.), delivery reminders, account collaborators, custom tags and filter to organize your bottles, and more.
2) Pricing
Both InVintory and CellarTracker have free and paid options. A CellarTracker subscription (which unlocks all features) correlates to the number of bottles you are tracking: $40/year for 100 bottles, $60/year for 250 bottles, $80/year for 500 bottles, $160/year for 1,000 bottles, $320/year for 2,500 bottles, $500/year for 2,500+ bottles. At InVintory, we let you enter unlimited bottles regardless of your tier, and gate select features (such as our 3D proprietary bottle finding technology) for paid members. Premium is $149.99/year. Contact us to get Elite pricing.
InVintory really differentiates itself on:
1) Ease of Use
The overall design of InVintory is modern and built to be easy to use. That is the number one comment we get from users.
2) Visuals
InVintory is the only platform that shows you, visually, where your bottles are located in 3D using cutting edge technology.
3) Data
Our database is managed by sommeliers, not crowd-sourced.
4) Innovation & Technology
We harness emerging technologies whenever they become available and do not let our product become outdated. Vincent, our AI wine assistant, is a prime example of this. Chat with Vincent to receive personalized recommendations from your collection.

Is InVintory available on Android?
We’re hard at work bringing InVintory to Android. In the meantime, you can still access the platform on any device via our desktop site at https://app.invintory.com/. To be notified when our Android app goes live, signup at https://invintory.com/android-coming-soon
Does InVintory have an enterprise solution?
Please reach out to us at support@invintory.com and we would be happy to talk about your specific needs.
Do you support spirits?
While our app is optimized for wine collecting, many of our collectors have added spirit (whiskey, scotch, bourbon, tequila, etc.) data into our database. Therefore you will find many spirits available in our database to add to your InVintory collection, and can even submit any we don't have for our team to review. Please know we are working on officially expanding this feature in the future.
Are you hiring?
While we are not actively hiring in any roles internally at the moment, we are always keen to meet wine lovers interested in our business for potential future opportunities. Email us your resume and we will keep you in mind when the opportunity arises.
Quick answers
The questions collectors ask most when choosing a wine app.
What is the best app to track a wine collection?
For collectors who want to know what they own, where every bottle is, and what it's worth, InVintory is built for exactly that job: rated 4.8 out of 5 from over 4,000 App Store ratings, free for unlimited bottles, with 3D cellar mapping, drink windows, market values, and Vincent, an AI sommelier. CellarTracker is known for its long-running community tasting-note database, and Vivino for label-scan discovery and ratings — InVintory focuses on managing the wine you actually own.
Is there an app that tells you when to drink your wine?
Yes. InVintory shows the ideal drink window for every bottle in your collection and sends a notification when a wine is entering its prime, so nothing gets opened too early or forgotten too long. You can also adjust any window to your own taste and filter your whole collection by what's ready to drink tonight.
Does InVintory have an AI sommelier?
Yes — Vincent, InVintory's AI sommelier, recommends bottles from your own collection based on what you're cooking, who you're hosting, or the occasion, complete with food pairings and tasting context. He also reads restaurant wine lists and recommends what to order, and can even manage your cellar for you. Unlike generic AI wine apps, Vincent knows exactly what's in your cellar.
How is InVintory different from Vivino?
They do different jobs. Vivino is built for discovering and rating wines — scan a label in a store and see community scores. InVintory is built for managing the wine you own: tracking bottles across cellars and fridges, locating them in 3D, watching market values, and knowing when to drink each one. Many collectors use both, and you can import your Vivino history into InVintory in seconds.
Is there an app to find a specific bottle in my wine cellar?
Yes. InVintory's VinLocate builds a 3D replica of your cellar or wine fridge — search for any wine and its exact position lights up, so you stop digging through racks. It works for everything from a 20-bottle fridge to multi-room cellars with thousands of bottles.
Can an app track my wine collection's value?
Yes. InVintory pulls market data from Liv-ex and Wine Labs to value every bottle, shows how your collection's total value changes over time, and helps you decide whether to drink, hold, or sell — before you pull the cork.
