Make a wine list for dinner guests without exposing your whole cellar

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Give guests a short list of wines you are offering tonight, with enough information to choose a glass. Your full cellar inventory is a different document. Prices paid, remaining quantities, storage locations and personal notes usually have no useful job on a dinner menu.

You can make a thoughtful list in a document or on paper. A shareable cellar link is convenient only if you understand what it reveals, whether it changes and who can open it later.

Track Coravin bottles without marking the whole bottle as drunk

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A bottle accessed with Coravin is still a physical bottle, but it is no longer untouched stock. Keep a separate status and access record for that particular bottle. Record a tasting when you drink the wine, and reduce whole-bottle stock when the bottle leaves the collection under your chosen counting rule.

One glass should not accidentally remove an entire bottle from the rack. Nor should a count of “three bottles” imply that all three contain their original volume.

Wine collection insurance: build a useful documentation pack

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A useful wine insurance pack connects the bottles you own to photographs, purchase evidence and a dated inventory. Build that record first, then ask your insurer or broker what they require for your particular policy. An app total, a receipt or a photograph alone may leave important questions unanswered.

This is a way to organise evidence, rather than a promise that a collection is covered. Policy terms, country, storage arrangements and the circumstances of a loss determine what an insurer accepts and pays.
