Introducing Cellarion — The First Open-Source Wine Cellar Management App

Your Wine Collection Deserves Better Than a Spreadsheet Whether you have a dozen bottles tucked under the stairs or a dedicated cellar with hundreds of wines aging to perfection, keeping track of it all has always been a challenge. Spreadsheets get messy. Notes get lost. And that bottle you were saving for a special occasion? You forgot about it — and now it's past its prime. Cellarion changes that. It's the first fully open-source wine cellar management platform, built by wine lovers for wine lovers. Self-host it on your own server or sign up at cellarion.app — either way, it's free to get started. Everything You Need to Manage Your Cellar Cellarion gives you a complete digital twin of your wine collection. Every bottle, every rack, every cellar — organized, searchable, and always up to date. Cellars and Racks — Your Collection, Visualized Create multiple cellars and fill them with racks that mirror your real-world setup. Each rack is a visual grid where you place bottles exactly where they sit in your physical cellar. No more guessing which slot holds that 2015 Barolo. Drag, drop, done. Drink Windows — Never Miss the Perfect Moment Every wine has a window when it tastes its best. Cellarion tracks drink windows for your bottles and sends you notifications when a wine enters its peak. Open a bottle too early and you miss the complexity. Too late and the fruit fades. Cellarion makes sure you open it at just the right time. AI-Powered Label Scanning Adding a new bottle to your cellar is as simple as pointing your camera at the label. Cellarion uses AI vision to read the label, identify the wine, and fill in the details — name, producer, region, vintage, grape varieties. Review it, tap confirm, and the bottle is in your collection. What used to take minutes of typing now takes seconds. A Shared Wine Registry — Thousands of Wines, Zero Duplicates Every bottle you add contributes to a shared wine registry that all Cellarion users benefit from. Advanced deduplication ensures that "Château Margaux" and "Chateau Margaux" don't end up as separate entries. The result is a clean, growing database of wines with accurate information — powered by the community. Analytics and Collection Insights See your collection from every angle. Cellarion gives you detailed statistics — total collection value, breakdown by country and region, vintage distribution, and a world map showing where your wines come from. Track how your cellar grows over time and understand what you drink, what you collect, and what your cellar is worth. Share Your Cellar Wine is better shared. Invite friends or family to view your cellar, or collaborate with a partner on a shared collection. Role-based access means you control who can view, who can add bottles, and who can manage the cellar. Open Source — Transparent, Private, Yours Cellarion is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and the entire codebase is available on GitHub . That means you can inspect every line of code, host it on your own hardware, and know that your data stays yours. No vendor lock-in. No mysterious algorithms deciding what to show you. No subscriptions required to access your own collection. For wine collectors who care about privacy, self-hosting means your tasting notes, purchase prices, and cellar layout never leave your server. Built With Modern Technology Under the hood, Cellarion runs on a modern stack designed for reliability and speed. React powers a responsive interface that works beautifully on desktop and mobile. The backend runs on Node.js and Express with MongoDB for storage. Meilisearch delivers instant, typo-tolerant wine search. And Docker Compose makes deployment a single command — on any server, anywhere. Get Started in Minutes You have two options. Sign up at cellarion.app and start tracking your collection immediately — no installation needed. Or clone the repository from GitHub , run docker-compose up , and have your own private instance running in under five minutes. Your wine deserves to be remembered, tracked, and enjoyed at the perfect moment. Cellarion makes that effortless.
