Cellar management can be performed either with or without the Visual
Cellar capability. Use of the Visual Cellar involves several steps:
- Specify the storage facilities within your cellar (click
here for more details)
- Add those wines in your cellar not contained in the wine
database
- Indicate which wines are stored in each bin(s) within the Visual Cellar
- Input any personal information (cost paid, supplier, date purchased)
You
can also maintain your cellar without the need to specify the physical
storage and indicate which wines are in which bin(s). This approach
involves less "up front" effort. On the other hand, you will not be
able to visualize your cellar on the computer screen or get
visual
search results.You
can indicate which wines are in which bins within the Visual Cellar by
"drag and drop" from the wine database or by manually inputting the
information.
If you don't maintain a Visual Cellar, you can still
enter all the cellar information shown. In addition to the price paid,
current value, supplier, date purchased and cellar location, two fields
are provided for storing other information (such as insurance codes or
the owner of the bottle, if you store wines for others).
