WineBase is an easy to use and flexible, yet powerful Cellar Management and Wine Reference program that runs on all 32 bit versions of Windows such as 98 as well as 32/64 bit Vista, XP and Windows 7.
It will allow you to manage your cellar with an ease that you wouldn't think possible and best of all WineBase is fun to use.
With the data from Australian Wine Vintages by Rob Geddes MW built into the program it is the definitive reference source for Australian wines.
Also included are glossaries of viticultural, tasting and winemaking terms, winery address information, vintage charts, a basic French primer and other points of interest.
It has more data fields (most are optional) than you'll ever need and more ways of organizing, searching and displaying them than you'd think possible.
Listing everything the program does would take far too much room, but simply stated, if another program does it then WineBase probably does as well, but does it better and more likely than not, did it first.
