Vinfolio is pleased to announce the public beta launch of VinCellar 3 today (see press release, a Vinography blog post, and a Fermentation blog post).  One of the most interesting capabilities we've designed is a decisonmaking tool that is found under the Cellar Analysis tab.  The best way to use these capabilities is to think of a question about your cellar and then to use the tools to answer it. 

1. Graphs

This is a graphical dashboard tab displaying up to four interactive graphs simultaneously from a list of categories (currently: cost, country, gain/loss, pre-arrival, score, and varietal; note a "drinkability" category will be released shortly). Click the thumbnail image below to display a screenshot.

You may also drill into any level of detail from this graphical view by clicking either a section of a graph or the Details link for all sections at once (click thumbnail image below for the resulting screenshot).

2. Segmentation

Analyze your cellar by selecting a combination of up to three categories from cascading dropdown lists.  Each category selected sequentially further splits out your cellar into more detail.  Once you have completed an analysis, you can save it to a My Analyses list for future reuse.

3. Narrowing data set used in graphing/segmenting 

In either the Graphs or Segmentation subtab, the following filter criteria can be repetitively applied to narrow the scope of displayed wine and then saved to a My Filters list for later reuse.

Your feedback is welcome

Please feel free to submit any questions or suggestions for improvement in our Vinfolio Forums.  User feedback is critical for us in developing the best possible solution for your needs.  As a web-based application, we are able to make minor changes any time and go through regular software development cycles every 30 days for larger changes or new features.
