One Night told you what it’s for. This is what it does.
Wine, bourbon and whiskey, tequila, rum, gin, vodka, beer, sake.
Each has its own fields, its own flavour wheel and its own structure axes — a bourbon is graded on proof and a wine on tannin, because they are not the same drink wearing different labels. Sake keeps its rice variety and its polishing ratio; nothing else has a column for either.
Every bottle carries a drinking window, and where today sits in it is worked out fresh every time you ask.
Not stored. A stored verdict is whatever something decided once and never revisited, and it goes stale silently — a 2019 Hold is often a 2026 Drink Now. The four verdicts are computed from the window and the current year, so they cannot drift.
It also knows what’s open. Tell it you’ve opened something and it tracks how long it’s been and how much is left — because what kills an open spirit is headspace, not age. A near-full bottle is fine for years; a heel flattens in a season. The ones losing their edge sort themselves into a list by how badly they need finishing, and get offered before anything sealed.
Estimated value per bottle, cost if you recorded it, and the difference. Across a cellar, across all of them.
Every valuation is stamped with when it was made. After six months the bottle says worth refreshing rather than quietly continuing to look current. A price from 2019 presented as today’s is worse than no price.
Prices are estimates and the app says about. It will not print a figure as though it were a fact.
Every bottle can have a physical location, and the rack map shows the cellar as a place rather than a list.
It leads with the ones you haven’t placed. These eleven, I have no idea is the most useful thing a rack map can tell you, and it’s the thing most of them won’t say. A bottle keeps its own address once you move it, rather than inheriting the line’s forever — so the case you split across two shelves stays findable.
Search reaches everything. One box, every cellar, every field — producer, region, a word from a note you wrote two years ago.
This is a stance, and it’s enforced in five places you can check.
It fills in what it can actually read and leaves the rest blank. An empty field is a better answer than a confident invention, and you’ll be reading these back in five years.
A scan records which fields came off the photograph and which came from the model’s own recall. An appellation printed on the bottle and a varietal it inferred arrive in the same box — so the app marks which is which, and tells you before you save.
Stamped with their date, and flagged when stale. Estimates are called estimates.
The reference profile for a bottle is not reachable until you’ve committed your own. Turn a glass over before you’ve scored it and the card records that permanently — the score that follows is not a blind one and will never be presented as one.
Eight voices will read your tasting back to the room in eight different registers, and not one of them can change a number. The tallies are the real ones. The voice only decides how they’re said.
And it leaves whenever you want it to.
Every cellar exports to a CSV in its own column names, and one download takes the lot: every bottle, the individual bottles under each line, what you drank and the night it was, every flavour wheel, every blind tasting and what the room guessed, the wishlist, the Muse, your bar.
Free on every plan, because a cellar you can’t get out of isn’t yours. The file our export writes is a file our import reads — which is a claim you can check in about four minutes, and should.
The assistant has tools that query your actual bottles — what’s open, what’s in window, what you added last week, what you tasted and when.
It answers from those, or it says it can’t.
Holds 100 bottles and keeps them forever. Inventory, locations, drink windows, values, notes, maps — and the export.
Unlimited bottles and the assisted features: scanning, valuations, the wheel’s reference profiles, the bartender, the Muse, the recaps. Includes 100 AI credits a month.
The same thing with two months free.
Both start with a free trial. Cancel any time. Your cellar stays yours either way — nothing is held hostage if you stop paying, and the export is on the free plan too, so yours isn’t a figure of speech.
It costs less per year than the bottle you’re arguing about.
