How do I use My Wine Cellar?
 

The "My Cellar" section provides 2 types of useful functions:

1)Information about what is in your collection

The wine you own is grouped by location so you can keep track of what you have in Wine Storage as well as your home or office. The white box on the left hand side of the page provides a summary. You can click on any location for quick navigation. Within each location, wines are sorted by winery, then label and vintage. The icons under each wine provide additional information about the wine, its history of when it was added to your collection, the ability to alter its price and quantity or to delete the wine from your collection. Note: You cannot adjust quantity or delete wine that is in Wine storage from this menu.

2)Add new wine, Transfer wine into or out of Wine storage and View invoice information.

These functions are grouped on the left hand navigation bar. For example, clicking on "Send Wine to Cellarit" takes you step by step through the process of adding wine to your collection stored at Cellarit. Each of these functions are explained below.

 
What's the difference between Send Wine to Cellarit and Catalog My Wine?  

Send Wine to Cellarit is a quick "one-stop" function to notify Cellarit of a delivery. It combines Catalog My Wine and Transfer to Cellarit. Use the latter functions if you wish to Catalog wine that you will not send to Cellarit or to Catalog wine where only some of the items will be sent to Cellarit. Any items that you do not send to Cellarit will appear on your screen inside a separate Wine Cellar location.

 
How do I "Send Wine to Cellarit"  

Use this function to send wine to Cellarit that you have not catalogued previously. This function combines Catalog My Wine and Transfer to Cellarit into one easy process.

Step 1 Choose a winery (Penfolds) by typing it into the Winery box.  If you already know the name of the wine (Grange) you can type that into the Name box instead.  Alternatively, if you're not sure of the winery spelling, try our Winery Selector.  It lists all the wineries in our database for all countries.

After step 1, the software will load all of the relevant wine into the drop down list in step 2.

Step 2 Choose the wine from the drop down list and enter details for vintage, bottle size, quantity, cost (just the numbers, no "$") and information about condition (leave the last blank unless there are bottle defects).

The software copies the wine name down to the other entry boxes to help you enter several vintages of the same wine.  When you finish with that wine, choose another wine from the same winery or click Add Wines to enter your selections and move onto another winery.

Important: Many wineries produce several types of one variety such as shiraz. Please take care to indicate which label corresponds to the wine in your collection.

Each time you click on Add Wines, your selections are added to the list at the bottom of the page. You can edit the information if you made any mistakes.

Step 3 If the information on the list is correct, click Deliver Wines to arrange pick up of your wine or to notify Cellarit that it will be dropped off by yourself, a courier or a retailer. Upon completion, you will receive an email confirmation of the transfer and a transaction number.

Note: If you have wine delivered to Cellarit, please instruct the retailer, winery, etc., to address it with these details: (click here)

 
How do I "Catalog My Wine"?
 

Use this function to create a personal online inventory of wine or several inventories if your wine is stored in non-Cellarit locations. Each location is called a "Cellar".

Step 1 Choose a winery. Change the country if necessary - the default country is Australia.

Step 2 Choose the wine from the drop down list and enter details for vintage, bottle size, quantity, cost and information about condition (leave the last blank unless there are bottle defects).

The software copies the wine name down to the other entry boxes to help you enter several vintages of the same wine.  When you finish with that wine, choose another wine from the same winery or click Add Wines to enter your selections and move onto another winery.

Important: Many wineries produce several types of one variety such as shiraz. Please take care to indicate which label corresponds to the wine in your collection.

Each time you click on Add Wines, your selections are added to the list at the bottom of the page. You can edit the information if you made any mistakes.


 
How do I "Transfer To Cellarit"?
 

Use this function if you wish to transfer wine from a current location (such as home or office) to Cellarit.

1. Create an inventory of the wine using the "Catalog My Wine" feature (see above).
2. Use the "Transfer To Cellarit" feature to arrange pick up of your wine or to notify Cellarit that it will be dropped off by yourself, a courier or a retailer.

It is vital that you notify Cellarit of a pick up or drop off as above so that your wine can be checked into the warehouse properly. The inventory that you create allows us to verify that your shipment is correct.

Note: If you are having wine delivered to Cellarit, please instruct the retailer, winery, etc., to address it: (click here)

 
How do I "Transfer Wine From Cellarit"?  

After logon, click Transfer From Cellarit. You will be guided through a series of easy to use screens.

The first asks which wines you would like. Type the number of bottles that you want for each wine or choose Select All.

The next screen asks if you want your wine delivered or available for pick up. If you choose delivery, you will be prompted with the addresses already listed in the system. Or, you can choose to type in details of another address. This screen also asks for delivery instructions if nobody is home and whether or not your want to purchase transit insurance.

The final screen provides a summary of your selections. If all of the details are correct, proceeding from here generates an electronic message to the Cellarit warehouse to remove the wines you've chosen, package them and deliver them to you.

 

 
How do I use my "Wine Storage Account "  

At the beginning of each month, Cellarit computes your total charges and places the detailed information on your page. After logon, lick on Wine Storage Account, check your invoice details and then follow the payment instructions. You will be sent to a secure payment screen that accepts Visa and MasterCard. Once you make payment, your invoice details will be removed from the screen until the following month when new details are posted. Cellarit recommends that you keep each month's email for your records.

Alternatively, you can make an advance payment of any amount that you choose. Cellarit will post a credit to your account. Your invoices will continue to arrive via email and be available on the site, but you won't need to make a payment until your credit runs out. You can make an advance payment by cheque, credit card or bank transfer.
