In these harder times the opportunities for buying wine at highly competitive prices are all around us, making the value of cellaring wine higher compared to when things are going well. 

If you ensure that you are buying wines that will keep and improve over the next few years, you are “putting money in the bank”.  

Just like money in the bank, you must ensure that you manage your holdings.  

We read endlessly about temperature, light and humidity for storing wines, but the frequently neglected element is managing your wines.  

It is essential to maintain an accurate cellar list to ensure that your wines will not be opened inappropriately nor will they be held too long for their own good.

Cellaring without accuracy puts all your wine at risk of squandering or spoiling.

The reason that good cellar list management is seldom mentioned is because so many wine cellar software programs fail to provide any aids to maintain an accurate cellar list.  

Vinote provides a unique cellar management system which removes all dependence upon good memory and guarantees an on-going accurate wine inventory.

Your constantly accurate wine list provides you with the confidence to invest in quality wine; you always know what is in your cellar, when it should be opened and where it is.
