Vintage Cellars ESOMM004 - Manual (Page 6)

As you enter new wines, this area will show label graphics from the various wines in your
Collection. See “Viewing Your Wines” on page 14 for further details.
The Collection view is blank until wines have been entered into your collection.
In this Collection view, the bottom left of your screen features touch buttons for “New
Wine,” “Status” and “Administration”. Let’s quickly define these three areas now:
•
New Wine This is the function you’ll use to enter new wines into your
collection, with detailed information regarding quantity, value, location and tasting
notes.
•
Status Area This screen gives you a birds-eye snapshot of your collection, your
recent activity and your cellar's climate conditions.
•
Administration Area Here’s where you configure your eSommelier’s network
settings and set access to software updates and eSommelier support services.
We’ll look at these functions in more depth shortly. For now, take a moment to familiarize
yourself with the terms you'll use with eSommelier:
Basic eSommelier Terms
•
Bottle : A bottle is the most elemental unit in the eSommelier system. For
example, a case of the same wine is equal to 12 bottles of one wine. Note that each
bottle in your collection can be a different size, ranging from splits through
standard bottles and all the way up to 15 liter Nebuchadnezzars.
•
Wine : A wine is characterized by its country, region, variety type, winery and
vintage, and is quantified by a number of bottles.
•
Collection : This is eSommelier's representation of your cellar. A collection is
made up of wines, each of which has a number of bottles. eSommelier gives you
powerful options to view, sort and filter information regarding your collection.
