Wine data & pricing
- Why did my collection value change? — How we work out a market value, what it is good for, what it is not, and what makes your collection value move.
- How to edit drink windows — Replace our recommended years with your own — on iPhone, iPad, Android and the web app — and put ours back when you want.
- Where we source our drink window data — How InVintory works out when a wine is at its best — and what happens when you set your own years.
- How to edit market prices — Set your own market value for a wine, a vintage and a bottle size — and reset it back to ours.
- Understanding individual market prices — What a wine’s market value means, where it comes from, why it is priced per bottle format, what happens when there is none, and how to set your own.
- The difference between market price and purchase price — What each price means, who supplies it, how currency is handled, how to use them together to spot a good deal, and why neither ever fills in for the other.
- Understanding your total collection value — How the market value of your collection is calculated, which bottles count, and why the figure moves.
- How to view your total purchase price — Where to find Total Purchase Value on iPhone, iPad, Android and the web, and what it does and doesn’t include.
- Why the app and the export show different values — The app’s collection value includes an estimate the CSV export cannot carry — plus four smaller reasons the two won’t tie.
- How to edit ABV — Correct a wine’s alcohol by volume on iPhone, iPad, Android or the web app, and reset to ours when you want.
- Where we source our ABV data — Where the alcohol figure on a wine comes from, why it differs between vintages, and what happens when you edit it.
- How to view critic ratings and reviews — Where critic scores and tasting notes live, why they are tied to a single vintage, and where the average score turns up.
- Understanding wait times for wines in review — The In review badge means our sommeliers have not filled in the wine’s data yet — you can add bottles of it and edit it in the meantime.
- How to edit purchase price — Change what a bottle cost, in the currency you paid — one bottle or a whole case at once.
- How to change your currency — Pick the currency your prices are shown in — and what that does to the amounts already on your bottles.
- How to report wine information — Tell us when a wine’s name, producer, country, region, grapes or label photo is wrong — the six fields you can correct, and how you hear back.
