Cellar / Wine Entry Files in Vino

Understanding Cellar Notes

Cellar notes in Vino represent individual wines, identified by their producer, name, and vintage. For instance, you don't need separate files for two bottles of the same wine, like La Stoppa Ageno 2015. However, a different vintage, such as La Stoppa Ageno 2017, would require its own note. This approach also applies to different releases of the same wine, like non-vintage Champagne, which can vary based on base vintage or disgorgement date.

Tagging and Creation

Each Vino entry file must have a cellar tag in addition to the wine tag. The recommended way to create a Vino entry is by using the vino-entry-create interactive function. This function gathers all the necessary information, generates a new file using the ID as the file name, and links to related producer, grapes, appellation, and region.

Updating Calculated Metadata

To update most of the calculated metadata, use the vino-entry-update interactive function. This updates elements like rating, title, description of the linked notes. Extensions should hook into this function, unless there's a specific reason not to.

Ratings are automatically updated when using the vino-entry-rate function and can also be manually updated with vino-entry-update.

Managing Availability

For managing the availability of wines, Vino includes Inventory capabilities. More details can be found in the relevant section.

#+begin_quote
"Il Frappato stems from a dream which I had when I was a girl to make a wine that
knows the land that I work, the air I breathe, and my own thoughts. It is bitter,
bloody and elegant. That is Vittoria and the Iblei Mountains. It is the wine
that most resembles me, brave, original and rebellious. But not only. It has
peasant origins, for this it loves its roots and the past that it brings in;
but, at the same time, it is able to fight to improve itself. It knows
refinement without forgetting itself."

- Arianna Occhipinti
