How to remove bottles quickly

The fastest way is a left swipe. On your collection page on iPhone, swipe left on the wine, tap Remove, then tap Confirm — the reason is already set to Consumed, so a bottle you have just drunk takes three taps and no typing.

Collection → swipe left on the wine → Remove → Confirm

Own one bottle of that wine and you land straight on the removal form. Own several and one extra screen asks which. Everything else — date, note, tags — is optional, and leaving the date alone records today.

Pick the route that matches where you are

Section titled “Pick the route that matches where you are”
Where you are Fastest route
Looking at your collection Swipe left on the wine, then Remove (iPhone)
Anywhere else in the app The + button, then Remove, then search your collection
Holding a bottle with an InVintory barcode on it The + button, then Remove, then the barcode icon in the search field
Clearing out several wines at once Tap the selection circle on each wine’s row, then Remove in the bar that appears

Consumed is the reason that counts

Section titled “Consumed is the reason that counts”

Seven reasons ship as standard — Consumed, Gifted, Sold, Broken, Expired, Donated and Missing — unless your collection has custom reasons of its own. Picking the honest one costs nothing, but only Consumed counts a bottle as drunk in your analytics. Your Year in Review is more forgiving: every removal reason feeds its drinking cards.

Ten or more asks you to type

Section titled “Ten or more asks you to type”

On iPhone and iPad, removing ten or more bottles in one go asks you to type REMOVE and the number. That is the only friction in the flow; nothing else about a bulk removal differs from a single one.

Say something about it while you remember

Section titled “Say something about it while you remember”

Consume bottles of a single wine and vintage on iPhone or iPad and a toast offers Create Review and Remind Later. Remind Later is the one worth tapping: the wine appears in your reminders bell straight away, and a nudge follows about a day later. Consuming without tapping either leaves nothing to come back to.

On Android and the web

Section titled “On Android and the web”

Android’s quick route is the Remove button beside Add on the home screen, then search. On the web you pick the reason from the Remove dropdown before the form opens, so there the reason is a choice rather than a default.
