VERDICT

Should I use InVintory?

The best wine inventory software. Helping wine collectors track & find their bottles. - invintory.com

Depends. Buy it if you run a serious cellar (hundreds to thousands of bottles) and want bottle-level tracking, 3D location maps, and market values. Skip it if you're a casual drinker with a dozen bottles — a free app or spreadsheet does that job.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 6+ public sources; no pricing figures or independent negative reviews found in evidence.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Initial cataloging is the real cost: imports, label scans, or database search per bottle

medium

Pricing page names tiers but no figures appeared in sources reviewed — verify before subscribing

low

Guess: NFC CellarStickers and Elite likely cost extra; budget beyond base subscription
