About
WINESOR is a premium Swiss-made wine cellar monitoring solution designed to help wine enthusiasts and professionals safeguard their collections. The system pairs a high-accuracy WiFi-enabled hardware sensor — individually calibrated to ±2% RH humidity precision — with a feature-rich mobile app available on both iOS and Android. The sensor continuously measures cellar temperature and relative humidity, transmitting live readings to the WINESOR app. Users receive instant push notifications and email alerts whenever values drift outside user-defined thresholds, or when the WiFi signal is lost, ensuring no condition goes unnoticed regardless of where the user is in the world. The app includes a full data logger with unlimited history, graphical statistics showing temperature and humidity trends over time, and battery-state monitoring for the sensor. Users can share sensor data with friends, family, or staff — delegating alert forwarding to any email address — and switch between single and multiple sensor views for larger collections. Key ideal conditions supported: 65–75% relative humidity and 12–16°C temperature, adjustable per varietal. New features are added continuously by the Swiss manufacturer X-SOR AG. WINESOR is aimed at serious wine collectors, hospitality businesses, wine storage facilities, and anyone who demands precision, reliability, and elegant design in their cellar management tools.
