Most wines in your collection carry a market value, our estimate of what one bottle of that vintage is worth today, and each one carries a source tag telling you where the number came from.
Where the number comes from
We gather our market values from Liv-Ex, Wine Labs and other retail sites across the web, and refresh them as new data arrives. To see which applied to a given wine, open its market value and read the tag at the top.
Tag | What it means |
Verified market value | A price taken straight from one provider. Its logo sits beside the tag and links to the source. |
Estimated market value | No price exists for this exact vintage, so we worked one out from comparable vintages or averaged what we found across the web. |
Custom market value | Someone on your collection set this price by hand. The tag still credits our own figure underneath, for comparison. |
Prices are per bottle format
Market values are stored per bottle size, so a magnum is priced as a magnum rather than as two bottles. The headline figure is for the size you hold the most of, and the card names it: / 750ml, / Magnum. Other sizes you own are listed underneath.
Where we only have a standard-bottle price we scale it up to the larger format and add a premium, so a magnum comes out a little above double.
When there is no market value
Some wines have none, and the app says so rather than guessing: None set on the wine, and We could not find a market value for this wine if you tap through. That usually means the wine is rare, or popular in a country where our pricing data is thin. A wine added to our database very recently may not have been priced yet.
A missing price does not leave a hole in your collection total: for those bottles we substitute the average bottle price across your collection, not your purchase price.
Set your own market value
If a price looks wrong, replace it. Your figure applies to everyone on the collection and can be undone at any time.
Open the wine from your collection.
Tap the Market Value card.
Tap the bottle size you want to price.
Enter the amount, choose a currency, then tap Save.
Tap Reset on that same screen to go back to ours. You need editor access and at least one bottle of that vintage in the collection.
