CellarTracker!
Christens site with one millionth bottle of wine
Upstart Web site experiences rapid growth
SEATTLE - CellarTracker! (www.cellartracker.com), a leading
virtual wine cellar inventory management Web site, recently announced that its
approximately 7,000 registered users have an accumulated inventory that has
surpassed one million bottles of wine.
CellarTracker!
launched April 25, 2004 with 265 users and 65,000 inventoried bottles. By the
same date one year later, the Web site had grown to 6,000 registered users with
825,000 bottles. To date, the number of registered users continues to grow at
approximately 10 percent each month.
“For a
site that started out with humble beginnings, I am truly overwhelmed by the
outpouring of support and popularity from the thousands of users,” said Eric
LeVine, founder of CellarTracker! “We have constantly made improvements and
modification in order to make the site more user-friendly within this
share-ware concept. One million bottles in a little over a year is an exciting
milestone, and we’re anticipating the number of users, inventory and features
to continue growing rapidly.”
CellarTracker!
has secured a unique niche in the wine community due to its easy-to-use
features and flexible Web-based technology. Unlike most PC-based cellar
software programs, which can only be accessed at one location, CellarTracker!
has the ability to connect users via any Web-enabled device, including a cell
phone or PDA.
Several features of CellarTracker! include:
- Report
and search a user’s wine cellar inventory by producer, vintage, varietals, maturity,
etc.
- Input
purchase price and valuation data
- Log
personal tasting notes
- Record
bottle location
- Print
restaurant-quality wine lists and individually bar-coded bottles
- Participate
in a vibrant online community of wine enthusiasts, including more than 34,000
tasting notes
- Upload
images of bottles and wine labels
“PC-based
programs are rigid, and most people forget to input their data on the system
once they’ve returned home from a wine experience,” said LeVine. “Having
immediate access to your cellar via the Web helps keep your information in
order and current. Also, it’s convenient to have thousands of tasting notes
about a particular bottle you’re thinking of purchasing – in essence it’s like
having a personal sommelier.”
