A walkthrough of every part of the platform, with real screenshots: adding bottles, your cellar, what it’s worth over time, the sommelier, the market, and the report you need when the moment comes.
The moment you log in, you see your entire collection summarized — total value, unrealized gain, cost basis, and which bottles are at peak drinking right now. No hunting through spreadsheets.
Always current
Valuations, drinking windows, and gain calculations update automatically as you add, sell, or donate bottles — the overview always reflects your live collection.
Overview — cellar summary with drinking windows and top performers
Your cellar is the foundation of everything. Add bottles individually, photograph a label with your phone camera for instant auto-fill, or import your entire existing collection from a CSV.

When you add a bottle, VaultSomm's valuation engine fires immediately — querying live retail and auction data to establish a fair market value. The engine accounts for critic scores, vintage quality, bottle condition, and regional comps.

The Portfolio page breaks down your collection the way a financial dashboard would — value by region, varietal composition, and total return over time. Built for collectors who think about their cellar as an asset.
Track what matters
See at a glance whether your collection is concentrated in one region, how your varietal mix compares to your goals, and whether your portfolio value is trending up over time.

Ask anything about your collection. Your AI Sommelier knows every bottle you own — drinking windows, food pairings, cellaring advice, when to sell, what to open tonight. It answers the way a great sommelier would: specific, opinionated, and always relevant to what you actually have.
Context-aware
The Sommelier AI reads your entire cellar before answering. It knows every bottle you own, their condition, and their current value — answers are specific to what you actually have, not generic wine advice.
