About
Oeni is a smart wine cellar management app that combines detailed inventory tracking with an AI-powered personal sommelier experience. Whether you are a casual wine lover or a serious collector, Oeni helps you manage every bottle in your cellar with precision and ease. At its core, Oeni lets you add bottles from a directory of over 500,000 wines, log vintages and purchase prices, and track your stock in real time. The app monitors each bottle's aging phase and alerts you when a wine reaches its peak drinking window — so you never open a bottle too early or too late. Oeni also functions as a financial portfolio tool for wine investors, providing real-time market valuations updated monthly, month-by-month spend tracking, and per-bottle capital gains analysis. A 3D virtual cellar feature lets you visualize your entire collection intuitively. The personal sommelier engine matches your wines to over 5,000 food pairings and tailors recommendations by occasion — from an everyday dinner to a grand celebration — factoring in aging phases, market value, and food compatibility to suggest the perfect bottle. Endorsed by Gabriele Del Carlo — two-time Best Sommelier of Italy (2011 & 2017) — Oeni is trusted by wine enthusiasts worldwide and is the top-rated wine cellar app across iOS and Android.
