Max — sorry about that, several things to address. First, I given you a complimentary Reserve subscription:
The spinning wheel is the AI normalization running in the background after import — it’s matching your wines to the shared registry and enriching drink windows. The bottles are written to your cellar immediately; the spinner is just the AI pass happening behind the scenes. It shouldn’t be blocking you from using the app. That UX needs to be clearer.
The “Unknown” items are likely CT entries where the wine type didn’t map cleanly — things like Pét-Nat, field blends, or anything entered inconsistently in CT. They’re still in your cellar, just need the type set manually.
The disappearing bottles after logout is a real bug — just pushed a fix. It was a pagination issue where re-logging in would only load the first 500 wines instead of your full collection. That’s now fixed and should load everything correctly on fresh login.
Can you try logging back in and let me know if they’re all there? If anything’s still missing I want to dig in further.
The misspelling issues bug me, but I understand why they do it. I dont know the solution to having so many bottles so close in name.
Awesome! most of these fixes work now. I should note that I was using desktop, and I still cant mass import photos.
Also it seems to still double add but goes away after a page refresh.
I clicked on one of the default suggested ai questions and it had the error. Only happened the first time hasnt hapened since
edit: also the partial date entry isnt working aswell
Stanley — search was something I wanted to get right from the start. A few specifics on how it works:
It searches across producer, wine name, varietal, region, vintage, and tasting notes simultaneously as you type — results update live with no submit button. So searching “Gevrey 2015” or “Chambolle Mugnier” or just “Pinot” all work exactly as you’d expect.
Filters stack on top of search — you can type a producer name and then filter by type, region, drink window status, or rating without losing your query. The drink window filter is one I use constantly: one click to see everything currently in window across the whole cellar.
The collection view also has sort controls (by vintage, name, producer, date added, rating, value) that persist alongside your search, so you can do things like search “Burgundy” sorted by oldest vintage and get a clean picture of your older bottles by region.
Also — as a thanks to the WB crew for the feedback and engagement, I’ve set up complimentary Reserve tier access for anyone in this thread. Just sign up and DM me your email and I’ll activate it.
Just tried again. In the below screenshot I x’ed out in the top right. Bottles showed there and I could click around, but after login they were still gone. Also of note is that even if I refresh the page I have to login again.
I find the rack view a little bit un-intuitive because of the direction the bottles lay. Its like I am looking at my wine fridge from a 90 degree angle instead of head on. I would like to be able to flip them
Also trying to delete a row or column with wine on it crashes the page
sorry didnt mean for this to just become me reporting bugs hahah
Max — really sorry about the confusion here, this should have been clearer from the start. How long had the import been running at this point?
Looking at your screenshot, the import modal shows “0 of 516 wines imported” at 0% when you closed it — nothing had been written yet. Your bottles aren’t lost, they just never made it in. To import: run it again and wait for the progress bar to reach 100% before closing. Once it’s done the wines are saved — the spinner you see after that is background AI enrichment and you don’t need to wait on it.
The login-on-refresh issue is also on me — just pushed a fix. It was a bug where the app waited on a database round-trip before recognising you as logged in, which caused that brief flash to the login screen on refresh. Apologies for the frustrating experience, that should be smooth now.
Eric — no apology needed, that’s the exact kind of thing I’m looking for. On the orientation, the front view is actually showing bottles lying on their sides as you’d see them looking straight at a rack — but I hear you that it doesn’t read that way intuitively. Worth rethinking.
One thing that might help: each row has a clickable row number on the left (now labelled “open”) — clicking it flies out a full 3D shelf view for that row where you can see all the positions, drag bottles between slots, and see everything with full labels. The compact row view is just the overview; the real interaction happens in the shelf flyout. Give that a try and let me know if it changes the feel.
The crash when deleting a row or column with wine on it is also fixed — just deployed.
Exciting stuff here. Love the quick responses and bug fixes! This is what my good days look like!
If you can see in the background below, it shows bottles despite being at 0%. When I x’ed out, it would allow me to click around, get insights, etc. I’m leaving it to continue this time, it’s been about 10 minutes so far.
EDIT: Side note on this, I did the single bottle export (where it counts each bottle as opposed yo, say, 3 bottles of a specific wine)
Max — apologies for the wrong call earlier. The import was hanging before writing anything due to a bug in the duplicate check. Fixed and deployed — you should see progress from the first second this time. The wines you saw in the background were browser cache from the previous attempt, not actually saved.
Good to know on the export format. The single-bottle export would have created 516 separate entries instead of collapsing them by wine. Just pushed a fix for that too.
What might be confusing is the language in the notification about importing by bottle - “300 bottles skipped, 214 imported” or something similar. Not sure of a better way to say that off the top of my head, may want a longer explanation in the text box.
This time it got stuck at 23% or so. Trying again
Eric — thanks for following up.
Mass photo import on desktop is fixed — you can now select multiple files at once from the Gallery button.
The partial date field now accepts more formats: 2024, 03/2024, 2024-03, 03/15/2024, and a few others.
The double-add is tricky — it’s an optimistic UI thing where the wine appears twice locally before the database confirms. Tightened the guard on it.
The AI first-time error is likely a cold-start race condition — let me know if you run into this again though.
Hi, I set up an account but it does not recognize either my password or my email or both, not sure. I sent a forgot password request and received a reply to follow link to reset password, but it just takes me to your login page. There’s no place to reset my password.
Also, I did not see an email listed to request help on the page.
When i click on the rack number it just expands and shows the information that is already there but in the shape of a bottle. see how it basically lists the wines twice. makes the page very crowded and hard to use
i cant drag a bottle down to the bottom of the page, the page needs to auto-scroll during drag and drop when the cursor is near the bottom of the screen
Tried again, no luck. I tried exporting the other way (not as individual bottles) - that also got stuck at 23%. It also only recognized 467 bottles of 214 wines. I have 450 in my cellar and 64 pending, so not sure where that number came from. Tried the other export and got stuck at 23% again.
Max — found it. A validation rule in our database was silently rejecting entire batches whenever a non-vintage wine was included. Fixed and deployed.
added my wines but when I click into a wine it doesn’t show the current location, my wines are in lay flat boxes that equate to the “bin” description in cellartracker, am I missing a function
values seem off as well not that I use them too frequently
also when adding to iphone home screen it gets stuck on redirecting to sign in
J_Dornellas — on the location: importing from CT brings your bin labels in, but the cellar map is a visual grid you build yourself to match your physical setup. The bin text from CT is stored on each wine but doesn’t auto-place it on the map — that’s a manual step. You’d create a rack matching your lay-flat boxes and drag wines into slots. It’s worth us thinking about whether we can auto-map CT bin labels to rack positions on import.
On values — we pull market value from CT’s “Value” field where available, otherwise fall back to purchase price. If those are blank or inconsistent in CT the numbers will look off. You can set them manually per bottle.
The iPhone home screen redirect loop is a known bug, just pushed a fix — try adding it to your home screen again after this deploy.
Hi Mike — really sorry about that. You found a bug in our password reset flow where the reset link was landing on the login page instead of a form to actually set a new password. That’s fixed and deployed now.
If you go back to the forgot password page and request a new link, the email you receive should now take you directly to a page where you can set your new password.
We also added a contact email to the site so this is easier to reach us in the future. Thanks for flagging it.
