Visual Wine Rack
- Automatically place your wines in a defined rack as you add each bottle to your wine cellar
- Manually move your wine bottles by drag-and-drop either within the rack, or from one rack to another
- Customize the size and shape of your rack for match your home wine rack
-
Caters for either single row wine racks or dual row wine racks
As you add each bottle of wine to your cellar, the software optionally adds a tag number to each bottle, adds the wine to a wine rack of your choosing, then displays that wine rack so you can move the bottle to any specific location by clicking and dragging the bottle to any desired rack position in your wine rack. Other bottles in that wine rack are shown as smaller bottles, and color coded according to wine type to allow easy identification. As you move the mouse over each bottle a brief description of that wine is displayed.
Each wine rack can be individually configured for either single or dual rows, and you can display the column and row numbers either as numbers, or with alphabetic designations. You can also configure the winerack for customs shapes and sizes by making any location "unavailable".

Wine UPC codes
- Use the barcode wizard to scan wine barcodes.
- Where wines have barcodes already on the wine label, use the barcode reader to add each wine by entering the vintage and scanning the barcode on the wine label
Note: While we provide the barcode capability, our list of barcodes in the supplied database is still less than we would like - just over 10,000 as of January 2007. This is increasing as winemakers update their listings and as users add barcodes from their home wine collections to the Uncork wine database. If you encounter an unrecognized barcode you should add your wine manually, making sure that you scan its barcode at the same time. When you uncork this wine (or add another bottle of the same wine), the program will then recognize it. The major limitation of barcodes on wine bottles is that the barcode on the bottle does not normally define the vintage. This means you always have to enter the wine vintage and the barcode on the bottle cannot be used on its own for wine inventory control.
- The best solution is to either print your own printable tag or label or use the numbered wine tags
we provide. This ensures accurate inventory control with a unique tag number for every bottle of wine in your wine collection.
Importing from your existing wine inventory solution
- Importing wines from a spreadsheet.
- If you already have a list of your wines in a spreadsheet, you can import these wines into The Uncorked Cellar.
- The main criteria is to ensure that you list your wines so that each row of your spreadsheet represents any number of bottles of the specific wine.
- The format of the spreadsheet can be determined by exporting the sample cellar to a CSV file and examining the 1st two rows to see the column names required. As a general rule, you can ignore any columns that you do not already have in your spreadsheet.
- Copy the heading row from the sample cellar CSV file to your spreadsheet, then save it as a CSV file before importing these wines from your spreadsheet into The Uncorked Cellar.
- If you have difficulty importing your existing wines from a spreadsheet, our support staff
are usually available to help.
- Importing wines from another wine inventory program.
- You can import your wines from many applications into The Uncorked Cellar.
- Depending on the application, export your wine inventory to a spreadsheet first, or check the trial program under "Cellar, Import" to see if your existing wine program is already supported.
- If you have difficulty importing your existing wines, our support staff
are usually available to help.
