Features
Everything you need to run your wine cellar
Catalogue & digital cellar
Complete records: estate, vintage, AOC, ageing potential, pairings, purchase and sale prices, VAT, margin coefficients.
Interactive cellar map
Visualise your cellar in 2D, drag and drop bottles, track the occupancy of each rack.
Dashboard & BevCost
Purchase value, sale value, margin, BevCost, 12-month trend and real-time movements.
NFC / QR code tagging
Every bottle tracked by NFC tag or QR code: scan, check-out, relocation and history in a single gesture.
AI assistant · voice & text
Talk to your cellar like to a sommelier: add a bottle by voice, pull a live BevCost comparison, ask for the month's best sellers.
A barcode tells you that you served a Margaux 2016. A tag tells you which of your three bottles, when you bought it, at what price, and where it belonged in the cellar.
How it works
Wine cellar management
in 4 steps
An NFC tag is a small sticker attached to the neck of each bottle. You bring your phone close, the bottle is identified. It's the same technology as contactless payment.
Scan your labels
Front and back photo: AI fills in estate, vintage, AOC, ageing potential and pairings automatically.
Cellar map & NFC
Place your bottles in 2D and link each one to an NFC tag or a QR code.
Simplified inventory
Check-ins, check-outs, stock counts and orders: fully automated. Native NFC reading on Android.
Anticipate & grow value
BevCost, margin, peak maturity, smart alerts: drive your cellar with your AI assistant.
1st month free · Commitment based on the tag quantity ordered, or no commitment if you buy your tags · Hosted in France
Your cellar doesn't have to adapt
Caves Explorer adjusts to your cellar, not the other way round. No reorganization, no imposed hardware, no oversized plan.
Your catalog is unlimited
Whatever the plan, you enter as many bottles as you have. The size of your cellar does not determine your price.
You only equip what you want
Your grands crus with an NFC tag, the rest with QR code or simple entry. A 1,600-bottle cellar may only track 300.
Quantity is calculated on your actual cellar
No 1,000-tag plan when you use 400. The software suggests, you adjust, you validate.
Zero tags is a valid answer
You can subscribe without ordering a single tag, and order more later. The slider starts at zero.
- 300 bottles with NFC tag
- 500 bottles with QR code
- 800 bottles in catalog
Your cellar already exists, with its habits and its organization. Our job is to follow it, not to rewrite it.
Mobile

- Record your tastings wherever you are
