About

Built by a wine lover, for wine lovers

Vinage was born out of one simple frustration: a beautiful wine cellar, but no idea what was actually in it.

The story

How Vinage came to be

It started with a full wine cellar and a failing memory. Which bottles were in there? Which wine would suit tonight's dinner? Which bottle still needed five more years?

Existing apps were either too complex, too simple, or simply not beautiful. So I decided to build it myself. Vinage — named after the French vinage, the addition of alcohol to wine to preserve it.

Today Vinage is a fully-featured digital wine cellar: AI scanning, cellar management, food pairing and statistics. Available in 6 languages, on any device, as a PWA that works offline too.

🍷

"A beautiful wine cellar deserves an equally beautiful app to manage it."

— Arnold Ruijter, creator of Vinage
