Robert Parker's Wine Advisor and Cellar Manager Visual Wine Cellar

Virtual Demo of the Visual Cellar Manager

As discussed, the software can colorize the bottles within the visual cellars based upon a variey of wine characteristics. A user selected range of values is colorized at one time. In the animation running below the characteristic being displayed is the Parker rating of each bottle of wine. No more than five ratings are displayed at once (again, based upon user preference, this number can be increased or decreased). query.gif - 2.1 K

While the range shifts periodically during this "animated demonstration", in acutal use the range shift is controlled by the user (as shown to the left).

In this demonstration, red always represents the largest rating, orange the next largest, yellow the next, green the next, and blue the least. In actual use, these colors are user controlled. The color key to the left of the animation explains the actual value of each color at any time. The yellow line at the left edge of the animation moves to point you to the then relevant part of the key.

The final window in the sequence (ratings below 86) has only three colors because that is the number of different ratings represented in that range.
