Keep a private wine log
A private wine log is your own record of every bottle you've tried: who made it, the vintage, what you thought, and where the rest of the case is. Holigram keeps it as a Wine collection you can open, edit, export, or delete, and answers questions from your own entries, not a web average.
What should a wine log keep?
A new Wine collection starts with the fields below, and you can add your own beside them. Under each bottle sits a tasting log: a dated note each time you open one, with a score for that pour, and the newest note shows on the card. Your rating for the bottle stays separate, so one off night never rewrites a year of opinion.

How do I add wines without typing every label?
- Describe themType the bottles in plain words, one per line, and the AI drafts each row with what it knows: producer, region, varietal. You edit any cell before anything is saved, and the ratings stay yours to add.
- Photograph the labelsOn a paid plan, take one photo of several bottles and Holigram drafts an entry for each label it can read, for you to review.
- Import a spreadsheetUpload a CSV with a column for each field above except Tastings, which you fill in Holigram. Bottles already in the collection are merged, and Holigram tells you what it imported, merged, and skipped.
- Say it in passingTell Spotlight "we opened the 2019 Ridge Zinfandel last night, I'd give it a four", typed or spoken, and an entry card appears with the rating filled in. Nothing is saved until you tap it.
What can I ask my wine collection?
- Someone hands you the wine list at a steakhouse. Which Cabernet have I rated highest?
- Guests arrive in an hour. Which bottles are ready to drink this year, and where are they in the cellar?
- The wine shop is running a case discount. Which Pinot Noirs did I rate four or better, and how many bottles do I have left?
Can it suggest a wine for what I'm cooking?
Yes, when you keep Recipes too. Wine and Recipes arrive linked, so a question about a bottle reaches your recipes as well: ask what to open with the short ribs, and the answer weighs the dish you're making against the bottles you actually have, with the cellar spot to find it.
Wine is one of 60+ ready-made collections you can add to your Holigram.
