What people are putting up with today
-
A bottle with a flawless exterior but no storage record is treated as a liability — buyers discount it heavily or walk away entirely.
-
Specialist wine insurers ask for condition assessments, storage records and purchase documentation before they'll cover a collection at replacement value, and most collections don't have them ready.
-
The paperwork a buyer, auction house or insurer wants — purchase receipt, label and fill-level photos, a storage history — usually gets assembled under pressure when someone finally asks, by which point receipts and memories are long gone.
How BottleProof works
BottleProof is a provenance pack for each bottle in a cellar: a structured record covering the purchase receipt, label and fill-level photos, and a storage-condition log, laid out in the order wine insurers and auction houses actually ask for, so a collector fills in what they already know instead of inventing a system from scratch.
-
01
Fill in what you already know for each bottle — the purchase receipt, label and fill-level photos — using the pack's structure instead of designing your own.
-
02
Log storage conditions as you go, so the record stays current rather than being reconstructed from memory when someone finally asks for it.
-
03
Export a finished provenance pack whenever you need it — for an insurance renewal, a private sale or an auction submission.
In their words
What people are saying
Real quotes from public reviews and forums, with names removed. None are about BottleProof — it isn't available yet.
I know one auction house that rejected 3 bottles of old (40s-50s) wine because they did not like the labels.
Provenance is everything. Just look at the wide disparity of reviews for the same wines on [Competitor].
