Reasons to update/create your wine cellar inventory
Categories: Software
Many wine collectors are too busy working to finance their wine habit to keep track of what they own and the constant changes caused by buying, drinking, gifting, and selling. But an updated wine inventory enables you to:
  1. Select the optimal wine for the next drinking occasion since you know exactly what you own
  2. Avoid duplicate purchases of wine
  3. Realize you may be owed wine bought on pre-arrival that you never received
  4. Locate items more quickly
  5. Evaluate how balanced or unbalanced your cellar is
  6. Determine which wines may be past maturity and need to be consumed
  7. Assess the appropriate insurance value
  8. Transfer accurate inventory data to a cellar management software application

The final point facilitates ongoing maintenance and other time-saving benefits (see my post “Cellar management software – why use it?”). After all, the last thing you want to do is to have to repeat the inventory process.

If you don’t have the time to perform an inventory yourself, Vinfolio provides an on-site wine inventorying service anywhere in the U.S.
