Barello: Wine Cellar & Bar

Barello is a home cellar and bar app that tells you what to open tonight, what to keep, and what you can mix from what you have. Twenty bottles in the house and no idea what to drink tonight? Barello keeps your wine, spirits and cocktails in one place the whole house shares. WHAT IT DOES • Tonight. It reads what's peaking across the whole house and puts one bottle forward, with its price and where that came from when it has one. Two more wait underneath if that one's not the mood. • Drinking windows for where you keep your wine. Kept in a cupboard, not a cellar? Wine ages faster somewhere warm: every 10° roughly doubles the pace. Tell Barello where each bottle lives and it redraws the dates to match. • The bar. It checks every cocktail recipe against your shelf and shows what's pourable right now, what you're one bottle short of, and the one bottle to buy next that adds the most new drinks. • Wine pairing. Say what's on the table, from a cheese board to a curry, and it answers with the wine and the cocktail that go with it. • Tasted. Your wine journal: everything you've drunk and rated, summed up by grape, style and country, so the next bottle you pick up is a better bet. Kept a history in another wine app? Send us the export and we'll bring it across. THE CELLAR Wine, spirits and beer in one list, with the bottle that most needs opening at the top. Filter for a Tuesday or a birthday. Search finds anything on the label. Adding a bottle takes seconds: point the camera at the label and Barello reads the producer, the wine and the year. You check it, tap save, done. Or type it in, whichever is quicker. A WINE APP AND A COCKTAIL APP IN ONE Most drink apps make you pick a lane. Barello keeps both shelves in one household inventory, so the bottle that's ready tonight and the cocktail you can make are the same question, asked of the same house. The cocktail library covers the classics and a non-alcoholic set, each with ingredients, method and the glass it belongs in. ONE CELLAR, BOTH OF YOU Your partner sees the same bottles, so nobody opens the birthday wine on a Tuesday. You'll each see the other's ratings, so you know when you both loved one. Rather keep yours private? Switch it off in Settings. BUILT IN AUSTRALIA Built in Melbourne, priced in Australian dollars, with drinking windows tuned for how wine keeps in an Australian house, a Brisbane summer and a Melbourne one alike. NOTHING IN IT IS GUESSWORK The drinking windows come from how each grape and style ages. A price is only shown if we can say where it came from. A cocktail is only marked ready to pour when every ingredient is already on your shelf. Photograph a label and Barello reads it for you; nothing goes into your cellar until you've checked it. DOES IT TRACK HOW MUCH I DRINK? No. It tracks what's in your house, not what goes down the sink. Logging a pour is optional; it's there so the cellar stays right. PRIVATE Your bottles are locked to your household by the database itself, and held in Sydney, Australia. No ads, no selling data. THE BETA Barello is in beta.

I had forty-odd bottles at home and still couldn't work out which one to open on a Tuesday, so I built the one I wanted. Pat, Melbourne.
