CellarTracker

CellarTracker is a website that stores information about wines and wine collections. Created in 2003 by Eric LeVine, a former Microsoft program manager, the site says it is the "world's most complete wine database". As of September 2008, CellarTracker says it has more than 55,000 users, and entries for over 10 million individual bottles.cite web | url=http://www.cellartracker.com/intro.asp?GuestIntro=True | title=CellarTracker Guest Homepage | accessdate=2008-05-18] cite news | url=http://seattle.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/2006/06/19/story3.html | title=Software catalogs wine collections | publisher=American City Business Journals, Inc. | work=Puget Sound Business Journal | author=Justin Matlick | date=2006-06-16] On the site, users can track wines they have purchased and consumed, input tasting notes, value their collections, and share their information with others. CellarTracker is free to use, but donations are encouraged; in 2006 Levine predicted the site would gross $225,000 in revenue in 2007.cite news | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/03/technology/circuits/03reso.html?_r=1&ex=1108098000&en=96bfdce3ecc5d4c6&ei=5070&oref=slogin | publisher=The New York Times Company | work=The New York Times | title=How Fine Is This Wine? Virtual Cellar Could Answer That Question With Ease | author=Bob Tedeschi | date=2005-02-03] LeVine says that he designed CellarTracker to save wine collectors from having to enter the same information twice, which addressed a "fatal flaw" that he saw in other wine software utilities at the time.cite news | url=http://www.seattleweekly.com/2005-09-07/food/the-virtual-basement.php | publisher=Seattle Weekly Media | work=Seattle Weekly | title=The Virtual Basement | author=Roger Downey | date=2005-09-07]
