How to find a bottle in VinLocate

Any wine you have placed carries a Locate button. Tap it and the 3D view opens with every placed bottle of that wine lit up — you never have to open a storage and hunt for it yourself.

Tip

Requires a paid plan. Locate never appears on a free collection, because there are no 3D positions to find.

Note

No Locate button is an answer, not a fault. It shows only when at least one bottle of that wine sits in a slot. If it is missing, that wine has no 3D position yet — so tap Add to 3D position instead of looking for it in the cellar.

Where Locate appears

Where you are	What to tap
A wine’s card in your collection	The Locate chip on the card
The collection list	Swipe the wine, then Locate
A wine’s page, above its bottles	Locate all
One bottle’s own screen	Locate
Several bottles selected	Locate, under VinLocate
Inside a wine case	Locate

Every one of these is multi-bottle. If you own six of a wine and have placed four, Locate highlights all four at once, so you can pick whichever is easiest to reach.

Collection → a wine's card → Locate

Without opening the 3D view

Three things answer “where is it?” without loading a 3D scene at all:

1. Read the coordinate off the bottle. Every placed bottle shows its section and a coordinate like R3, C5, D1 — row, column, depth. That is enough to walk to it.
2. Filter your collection by Sections to list everything in one rack or shelf — a stocktake of that unit.
3. Filter by Without a 3D position for the opposite question: which bottles you have not placed yet.

Android and web

Android has both Locate and Locate all — on a wine’s page, on a selection of bottles, and inside a case.

On app.invintory.com, Locate opens the same highlighted view from a wine’s sidebar, from a selection of bottles, and from the activity feed.

If you run InVintory on a Mac, 3D cellars are not available there — a banner points you to the website. That is expected — open the web app instead.
