You have two options―you can do it yourself or ask us do it for you. If you choose to perform a physical inventory yourself, you can simply add the wine in your collection to VinCellar using our easy-to-use wizards and request barcode labels by mail. Or, for a fee, Vinfolio can perform an on-site physical inventory―complete with bar coding and label image captures―wherever your cellar is located.  This data is then automatically imported into a VinCellar account.   Read about our inventorying service.

VinCellar has helpful wizards to make adding or removing wine incredibly simple.  However, if you'd prefer for us to do it for you, we certainly can. Removing wine: Use VinCellar's Consume wizard for removing a bottle from your account and recording the reason for removal.  In addition, if you have chosen to use barcodes, you can easily scan the barcode label to automatically capture what has been removed. Remember, any wine you buy from Vinfolio will come with a Vinfolio-specific barcode label.

Yes.  And yes.  If you purchase the wine from Vinfolio, we will systematically keep track of your prearrival purchases and let you know when they arrive.  You can also track prearrival orders from other sources but you will have to contact them directly for their status.  VinCellar also lets you keep track of wine stored in multiple locations and gives you the ability to sort your collection by each unique storage site.

Yes.  Many collectors have multiple collections--for their children, for anniversaries, based on certain regions, etc.  VinCellar permits any number of these logical groupings and they may also cut across physical storage sites.

Yes.  For wines listed in your VinCellar account, you have automatic access to the scores and drink dates of Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Allen Meadow's Burghound, The Richard Juhlin Champagne Club, and Roy Hersh's For The Love Of Port. However, only those users who also subscribe to web-based subscriptions of International Wine Cellar, Burghound, The Richard Juhlin Champagne Club, or For The Love Of Port may view their full text reviews.  Users may access their content subscriptions through VinCellar simply by entering the sign-in information for their content subscriptions when registering or at any time on the My Account page.

At this time, both Robert Parker and Wine Spectator have declined to license their reviews to third parties.  Individual subscribers of theirs are free to cut and paste their reviews into VinCellar, and Vinfolio makes it easy to navigate to the relevant reviews on their sites from VinCellar.  Note that you will see Robert Parker and Wine Spectator reviews within Vinfolio's wine store because retailers of wine are permitted to republish reviews in support of wine sales.

Yes. Currently, you may contact a Wine Specialist to request an export of the personal data in your VinCellar account into an Excel spreadsheet. There is no charge for the first request. In August of 2008, the "Export" function will go live in VinCellar and you will be able to export your VinCellar information at your convenience.
