Kept your cave in a spreadsheet for years? Bring it over in one import.
A spreadsheet is where most cellars start, and it's a perfectly good place to keep one. When you want drinking windows, a scan to add new bottles, and reminders at each wine's peak, Caviste imports your file in one step. Free, for everyone.
Caviste recognises common headers in English and French. A useful set of columns:
| Column | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Estate | Château Margaux | The producer |
| Cuvée | Pavillon Rouge | Optional |
| Appellation | Margaux | Used for the drinking window |
| Colour | Red | Red, white, rosé, sparkling, sweet |
| Vintage | 2018 | Year |
| Quantity | 6 | Bottles |
| Price | 45 | Purchase price, optional |
| Drink from / Drink until | 2024 / 2035 | Optional; Caviste can also suggest it |
| Location | Cellar left | Optional |
The fastest way to get the format right: download our example file, paste your data under the matching columns, and delete the sample rows.
In Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, choose File → Save as / Download → CSV. Caviste follows the standard CSV format, so commas, quotes and accents inside cells are handled correctly.
Open Settings → Import a cellar, pick your file, check the preview, and confirm. Every bottle lands at once. Anything Caviste can't match stays editable afterwards, and appellations with no drinking window can get one suggested from the ageing table.
During your 7-day trial you can import your entire cellar, however large. Afterwards the free plan keeps all your bottles but caps new additions at 30 sheets; Premium (2.99 €/month or 24.99 €/year) removes the limit.
