Vino is a small wine organizer program I created to manage wines I’ve tasted and what I thought about them.
It’s pretty basic, but has some nice features such as:
It’s freeware, so if you want it grab it. I can’t promise any further development though.
All thoughts on the program are appreciated.
By the way, if you find the program useful, it’d be great if you registered it at iusethis.com – a great Mac software site.
If anyone is interested, I’d be happy to post the source code both for the program and the tiny Ruby script scraping the wine webshop vinmonopolet.no for wine information.
UPDATE: Source code and scraper code has now been posted.
Both the ruby-scrip scraping vinmonopolet.no and the source code is of interest. Will you post it? (or mail it?)
Hi! Splended app! I second Eirik on publishing the source code. Let us know if you need any help with this (like localizing)
Hi! nice app! I miss the possibility to mark which of the wines on the list I have in my "cellar" and the remaining quantity.
Great little app. Cudos to you!
I've also would like to see the source code for this project.
And a little tip, if you want to add a auto update feature, the Sparke framework is super easy and great!
Possibly to add other items like whisky?
That Ruby script sounded interesting. It'd be great if you could post it :)
Nice application. Can you pleace mail me the the script regarding the vinmonopolet website ?
Uante muligheter… er ikke spes interessert i vin men lag for all del noe liknende om andre gode drikker og
Stort potensiale og dagen på nett:-)
K
Hic!
:-D
In a few minutes will be published on the pages of iMaccanici web site.
Nice application!

Thanks for all feedback so far guys. As you can see I've posted the source and scraper code.
Jørgen: Thanks for the offer. As the source code is now public, you could probably with little effort localize the program yourself. I'd love to hear about it if you did.
Morten: Extended wine cellar tracking is something I've thought about adding and might in a possible later version. Both quantity, "should-drink-by" date and similar information could be added here. I just thought I'd keep the app simple for now.
Alex: I've heard a little bit about Sparkle, will definitely check it out but like I mentioned earlier I can't promise any major updates any time soon due to more pressing assignments. Thanks for the tip!
Franz: :) Great article, I had to use Google to translate it into English so might have missed a couple of the points but loved the title graphic. Thanks!
Kult! dette skal prøves :)
Fully aware of that the application name primarily refers to wines, I would love to see other drinks implemented as well. I'm not a big fan of wine and I would love to score my scotch a bit more systematically.
This program concept has a great potential!
And a little effort later… It's in Norwegian!

I removed the default.vinodb to loose som kb's.
Liker programmet veldig godt!
Det eneste jeg savner er en funksjon hvor man kan sortere vin etter pris og rating osv. En annen ting som hadde vært fint var om man kunne se hvilken rating andre har gitt vinene, og om man kunne lagt inn preferanser på hvilken type vin man liker sånn at man kan få anbefalt viner. Dette programmet er virkelig verdt å jobbe videre med, kan bli veldig veldig bra!
Knall greie. Jeg gleder meg til å teste ut programmet !!! Linker til vinsidene til dn.no/dagsavisen/aperitif fra hver vin hadde vært fint.
Helt fantastisk applikasjon. Jeg digger den skikkelig. Håper virkelig du videreutvikler den litt til.
Det jeg savner akkurat nå er et felt hvor man kan legge inn beholdning og mulighet til også å søke på musserende viner i databasen til vinmonopolet. Det burde forsåvidt også vært mulig å oppdatere pol-databasen med jevne mellomrom automagisk.
Men uansett… skambra tiltak!
Kanonbra! Dette har jeg lett etter lenge! Men jeg skjønte aldri hvordan du kunne søke i Vinmonopolets database… Finnes det en liten manual/bruksanvisning på dette for oss som tror at Terminal er en del av en flypass?
…….. Beklager. Jeg fatter ikke at jeg ikke så den knappen. Never mind!
Kjempeprogram! Håper du fortsetter å videreutvikle det. Gjør ikke meg om det hadde kostet noen kroner!
Flott at du fant det ut på egen hånd. En liten smule dokumentasjon hadde kanskje ikke vært for mye å forvente – litt primadonnanykker over det å overlate brukerne 100% til seg selv.
Glimrende program! Jeg bruker det aktivt til å lage meg min egen lille oversikt over vin jeg har kjøpt eller har lyst til å kjøpe. Det jeg savner eventuelt ønsker til neste update, er en scroll funksjon til Notater feltet. Videre har polet sluppet flere nye viner, disse er naturlig nok ikke med i databasen. Kan man oppdatere dette selv ved bruk av dette ruby scriptet? Eventuelt er det en funksjon du kan bygge inn i programmet, altså at det henter inn nye viner også. Når jeg først er i gang;) Dato lagt til er fint, hadde vært kjekt med en manuell kjøpt funksjon og også en et felt for hvor lenge den kan lagres. Uansett, ser at dette er et hobbyprosjekt, men ideen er god og det er vel gjennomført!
Have just found this – so far the best of 3 i have tried. One request for next update – any chance of including Storage Field that is customisable for say 6 individual and selectable storage areas. Secondly – if you set up link for donations i would be happy to oblige – Collin
Hi Collin, Thanks for your feedback. A way to register storage i certainly something I want to implement in the next version. Right now I'm in the middle of delivering my Master's thesis on something completely unrelated from Vino, but when that's done I really want to get some work done on Vino – so some time this summer there should be an update – of course I can't promise but I'm itching to implement some of the suggestions I've gotten so far, including yours :) I'm very pleased that you find Vino useful. I'll put up a link, so if you want to donate feel free :) Best regards, Even
The donate link should be up now :) Thanks again!
Vino is GREAT! Could you release a GNU Linux version (i.e. for Ubuntu)? :)
Hi Alex,
Glad to hear you like Vino. I'm terribly sorry but Vino is written using the OSX native Cocoa frameworks, so as far as I know porting it to Linux would require pretty much a complete rewrite.
How can I get the info OUT of the application? It will not copy/paste or print.
