When the Vinotag® application is open, the following menu is visible at the bottom of your screen:

• MY CELLAR : this tab allows you to view your wine cellar(s). The cellar can be viewed in list mode or in graphic mode. The mode setting is accessible via the icon located at the top right of your screen.
• MY WINES: This tab allows you to consult your wine library, i.e. all the past, present and future wines that you have scanned.
• ALERTS: This tab allows you to consult all the alerts related to your cellar. If you have several wineries registered, you can filter the alerts by winery by clicking on the top right of your screen.
• PROFILE: Allows you to complete and view the information related to your account. You have access to your cellars (add, delete, configure), your invitations, the PREMIUM option, the contact form and all our general conditions.

Use your cell phone to connect the cellar to a WIFI network.
Open the Vinotag application and create a digital cellar by selecting: “Connected Cellar” and choose the reference of your Apogee cellar from the list.
If you already have a Vinotag account, go to the “MY ACCOUNT” section and click on “ADD A CELLAR” by selecting “Connected Cellar” and choose the reference of your Apogee cellar from the list.
The application will connect to your physical cellar, which must be powered by a mains socket and correctly installed (refer to the installation instructions for your cellar). Once your cellar is detected by the application, the available WIFI networks are displayed, select the WIFI network of your choice, or indicate the name of your WIFI network if it is not automatically displayed and enter the access code (network password) to connect your cellar to the network and adjust its settings remotely.
The “WIFI” icon on the cellar is displayed steadily, indicating that the WIFI function is on and the cellar is connected to the WIFI.
If the “WIFI” icon is flashing, it means that the WIFI function is on but the cellar cannot connect to the WIFI network. Please reset the cellar’s WIFI.

To reset the WIFI in case of connection problem or change of internet box, press simultaneously the “cadena” and “SET” keys on the control panel for 5 seconds. This process deletes the original WIFI information and allows you to reconnect to the network of your choice. The “WIFI” icon on the control panel screen indicates that the WIFI function is off.

Wine cellars can be controlled remotely, to use this feature you must connect the cellar to a WIFI network. When the WIFI icon on the screen is blinking, the cellar is searching for the network. Make sure that the Bluetooth of your phone is activated and open the Vinotag® application then go to the tab: “MY ACCOUNT” then: “ADD A CONNECTED WINE CELLAR”;
Follow the different steps and enter the Name of the Wifi network and its password.

As soon as it is created, you can modify it to have a different configuration than the default one. You can always configure it later.

You can switch from one cellar to another via the drop-down menu that appears when you click on the name of your cellar located at the top left of your screen on the tab “CAVES”.

This will take you to the “Sound alarms” menu, you can activate or deactivate the sound alarms from your phone.

Vinotag® alerts can be of different types:

•  
• Technical alerts: these alerts indicate a technical problem or an action carried out in the cellar: bottle consumed; bottle added; cellar created; cellar joined; user X has joined your cellar… In the case of a technical problem, contact an authorized technician. The alerts are presented in the form of a list indicating the type of alert, the date, the time, the number of the rack concerned and the name of the cellar concerned.
• Filter change alert: If your cellar is equipped with a carbon filter, the application alerts you when it is necessary to change the filter. The filter change date is automatically set when you register a new cellar. Please note that when you change the filter of your cellar, do not forget to enter this action in the application from the “profile” space, “my cellars” and to click on the “Changed filter” button of the cellar you have selected, so that the counter resets to the current date (by default, a filter change must be done every year).
• Stock alerts: you can program stock alerts on a specific wine and according to a defined quantity.

To program a stock alert, open the Vinotag® application and select the wine on which you want to program an alert. Once you are on your wine’s file, you can click on “MODIFY ALERT”. Then indicate from how many bottles left you want to receive this alert by clicking on “+” or “-” in the window that opened. Validate.

From now on, the application will alert you that your wine is about to run out.

• Peak date alert: you have the possibility to program peak date alerts on a specific wine and according to the guards you have entered.

When adding a bottle to your cellar, you create a wine card. This wine card (filled manually or pre-filled thanks to the Vivino scan) is customizable. You can therefore decide on the minimum and maximum storage time for each of your wines. When you enter these storage times, you automatically program an alert. The Vinotag® application will inform you as soon as your wine exceeds its minimum ageing time to warn you that it can now be consumed. You will also receive a notification if, on the contrary, your wine has exceeded its maximum storage time.

If your wine file is already created, you can always modify it by clicking on the icon to indicate the storage time for your wine.

Be careful, to receive this alert, the storage time must be greater than zero (0), otherwise no alert will be sent. The year of the wine must also be indicated on the file.

If your cellar is empty, you will not be able to view it; it is necessary to add bottles to access your cellar view.

The cellar can be viewed in list mode or in graphic mode. The mode setting is accessible via the icon at the top right of your screen.

If you have more than one cellar, you can switch from one cellar to another via the drop-down menu that appears when you click on the name of your cellar at the top left of your screen.

• The graphic view of your cellar allows you to clearly visualize the contents of your cellar and shelf by shelf.

The size of the dots is an indication of the location of your bottles. Small dots mean that your bottle is located on the back of the rack, i.e., towards the bottom of the cellar. Conversely, a large dot means that your bottle is located at the front of the rack, i.e. on the door side.

• Red sticker : indicates a red wine and the number of bottles of this color
  Yellow sticker : indicates a white wine and the number of bottles of this color
  Pink dot : indicates a rosé wine and the number of bottles of this color

Thus, in the example below:

• two white wines are located at the back of rack 3, on the first level;
• your bottle of rosé is also at the back of rack 3 but on the superimposed level, i.e. on your two white wines;
• your bottle of red wine, between your white wines, is located at the front of rack 6, on the first level.

Attention: by default, the first bottle at the back of the rack on the left is the bottle closest to the left wall.

• If you have a cellar with shelves called “telescopic shelves with lateral storage” it means that the position of your bottles is lateral and allows you to see the labels of your bottles. The bottles are therefore placed in your physical cellar on the right and left of the rack and not on the front and back as on a basic rack.

On your graphic view, the first bottle at the back of the rack on the far left corresponds to the bottle closest to the bottom of your cellar, head to the right. The large dots will always represent your left bottles and the small dots your right bottles.

Open the Vinotag® application and add a bottle by clicking on the “+” icon located at the bottom right of your screen. Follow the procedure to add a bottle and take a picture of the label of your bottle. You will then have access to a pre-filled wine file from the Vivino® database. Customize your wine card or use it as is. Place your bottle(s) directly in your physical cellar and then transfer its location to your virtual cellar using its model.

You can also add a bottle from your wine list or from your wine library. Select the desired wine in your list, and click on “ADD ONE OR MORE BOTTLES”.

Choose the cellar in which you add the bottle (if you have several cellars), the quantity of bottles and validate. You will be offered free spaces.

You can either search from the list of wines in a cellar or from your wine library (i.e. all your cellars)

• To search from your cellar, open the Vinotag® application and select the bottle you are looking for from your digital cellar list or search with the search bar by selecting the cellar you are searching from.

Click on the bottle of your choice and then on “POSITION IN THE CELLAR”. You arrive on the graphic representation of your cellar, and the bottle you are looking for is indicated by a colored dot to show its location.

If you wish to consume this bottle, click on “I CONSUMED THIS BOTTLE”.

You arrive on the graphic representation of your cellar. The bottle(s) of this wine are indicated by a highlighted dot. Select the bottle you wish to remove.

• To search from your wine library, open the Vinotag® application and select the bottle you are looking for from the list of your wine library and click on the bottle of your choice and then on “SEE MY BOTTLES”. You have then a list by cellar (if you have several) with the information on which shelf this bottle is positioned.

Choose the bottle you wish to consume. You can directly remove your bottle by clicking on “I CONSUMED THIS BOTTLE” and/or check its location by clicking on “POSITION IN THE CELLAR” to see the location of your wine in the modeling function.

Open the Vinotag® application and add a bottle by clicking on the “+” icon located at the bottom right of your screen.

Customize your wine card or use it as is. Or add a bottle from your wine list or wine library, by selecting the desired bottle, and clicking “ADD ONE OR MORE BOTTLES”.

You will be taken to the schematic view of your cellar. A white dot will show you the available storage locations that are suitable for the aging of your wine. Click on the dot to indicate that this is the location of your bottle and place it in your physical cellar at the location you have just validated.

Your bottles can only be moved from the model.

Open the Vinotag® application and select the bottle you are looking for from your digital cellar. From the model, click directly on the shelf where the bottle to be moved is located. You will access level 1 and 2 as well as the front and back of the rack. Long press on the bottle to be moved. Click on “MOVE BOTTLE”. You can now move it to an available location on the same rack or to another level by clicking on the top left to return to the general view. Select the desired shelf and place your bottle.

Be careful, don’t forget to physically move your bottle at the risk of distorting the modeling of your physical cellar.

When you create your cellar, it already has a factory configuration. You can change this configuration when you create the cellar or later, when you use it.

Open the Vinotag® application and go to the PROFILE tab. Select the cellar you want to configure in the tab “MY CELLARS”. Click on the edit icon in the top right corner and then on “CONFIGURE CLAYETTES”. From here you can delete existing racks or add additional racks from the list of racks compatible with your cellar if space is available. If you want to move an entire rack and its bottles, press and hold the three horizontal bars to the right of the rack to be moved. Then drag it to the location you want. The application will ask you to confirm the move of the rack and its bottles. The bottles will remain in the same location. If you choose to move only the rack, the bottles will automatically be placed in the storage area.

Attention:

• It is only possible to manage 2 levels per rack. If you stack on more than 2 levels, the application cannot manage it. You have to create an additional rack to add levels.
• You can’t move a rack directly in place of another one. The level must have no shelf. If you want to place a rack in place of another one, you must first free the level from its original rack.

The Vinotag application is not suitable for managing a natural cellar or other wine storage.
The application requires the creation of a digital version of your physical cellar and cannot be used for any purpose other than the one clearly defined.

No, the Vinotag application is exclusive to the Avintage, Climadiff, La Sommelière, Temptech, Le Cellier, Vinostyle & Provintech brands. Please refer to the list of compatible wine cellars: https://vinotag-app.com/index.php/caves-comptatibles-vinotag/. Any other brand of wine cellar cannot be managed with the Vinotag application.

The Vinotag application offers you the possibility of exporting all the data from your digital cellar into an Excel file. This file will give you the possibility of generating statistics and having an overview of your cellar.

Export the contents of your digital cellar to Excel by going to the settings section of your digital wine cellar then clicking on “Export”.

You can customise the interior configuration of your digital wine cellar if you add accessories to your real cellar. This function can also be useful if you want to manage your bottles in more than 2 rows. Digital racks offer two levels of storage, so if you stack more than 2 levels, the application can’t manage it. You need to create an additional rack to add levels. This choice has been made to avoid inventory errors, as the many levels of stacked bottles are a source of error.

To add or remove an extra rack, go to the overview of your digital wine cellar and click on the settings icon at the top right of your screen, then on information and racks.
