Built for collectors who treat fine wine as the alternative asset it is
Everything you need
Most cellar apps track your bottles. VaultSomm treats your collection as the alternative asset class it is — with the tools your accountant wishes you had.
Log every bottle with full provenance — producer, vintage, region, varietal, purchase price, storage location, and quantity. Your entire wine collection, organized with collector-grade precision. Track individual lot cost basis, unrealized gains, and year-over-year portfolio performance across all your fine wines.
Know exactly what your cellar is worth — right now. VaultSomm's valuation engine pulls live pricing from leading retailers and auction houses, then applies a weighted four-factor model across market comps, critic score, bottle condition, and vintage quality. Every bottle gets a precise fair market value and a confidence rating. Not an estimate. A position.
Fine wine is taxed as a collectible at up to 28% federal rate — not the preferential 20% long-term capital gains rate. VaultSomm models your exact tax exposure before you sell, so there are no surprises at year-end. Generate IRS Schedule D-ready reports instantly.
One-click PDF reports formatted for fine art and collectibles insurance riders. Show current fair market value, original cost basis, and total replacement cost — exactly what your insurance broker needs. Updated at each quarterly valuation.
Ask anything about your collection. "Which bottles are approaching their peak drinking window?" "What's the optimal serving temperature for my 2015 Pétrus?" "Should I hold or sell my DRC given current auction trends?" Your AI sommelier knows your cellar intimately.
Never open a bottle too early or too late. VaultSomm tracks the optimal drinking window for every bottle in your cellar and surfaces which bottles are ready to drink now, approaching peak, or should be held for longer aging. Prioritized by your personal taste profile.
Simple to start, powerful at scale
Upload a CSV from CellarTracker, Vivino, or your own spreadsheet — or add bottles manually. VaultSomm imports your full history including purchase prices, quantities, and provenance in minutes. No manual re-entry required.
VaultSomm's proprietary valuation engine queries live pricing from leading retailers and auction houses, then applies a weighted four-factor model across market comps, critic score, bottle condition, and vintage quality to derive a precise fair market value. Each result includes a confidence rating — so you always know how deep the market data runs behind your number.
Your AI sommelier surfaces which bottles to open, hold, or sell. Generate insurance reports for your broker, capital gains models for your accountant, and estate valuations for your attorney — all from one platform. Share read-only reports with your wealth manager or family office.

Common questions
VaultSomm uses a proprietary valuation methodology that combines live market pricing with a weighted four-factor model: market comp pricing (65%), critic score adjustment (20%), bottle condition (10%), and vintage quality index (5%). Prices are sourced in real time from leading retailers and auction houses, then synthesised into a single fair market value with a confidence rating of High, Medium, or Low. The result is what your bottle is worth today — not what you paid for it.
Yes. Fine wine is classified as a "collectible" by the IRS, which means long-term capital gains are taxed at a maximum rate of 28% — not the preferential 15%–20% rate that applies to stocks and real estate. VaultSomm models this exposure for every bottle, so you and your accountant know your exact tax liability before you sell a case at auction.
Yes. VaultSomm accepts CSV imports from CellarTracker, Vivino, and any spreadsheet. Our importer maps columns automatically and preserves your purchase prices, quantities, and tasting notes. Most collectors are fully imported in under 10 minutes.
Your AI sommelier is powered by advanced AI and trained on your actual cellar data. Ask it about drinking windows, food pairings, vintage reports, auction market trends, or which bottles to open for a specific occasion. Unlike generic wine apps, it has full context of what you own, when you bought it, and how prices have moved.
All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Your cellar data is never sold or shared with third parties, and is never used to train our AI models. We're built for UHNW collectors who expect the same level of confidentiality from their software that they expect from their private bank.
Yes, on the Connoisseur plan. You can generate shareable read-only portfolio reports or downloadable PDFs that include current fair market value, cost basis, and unrealized gains — formatted for wealth managers, insurance brokers, and estate attorneys. No account login required for your advisors.
