Keep a wine wishlist for your next bottle
A wine you notice at dinner is easy to forget before you get to a shop. Keep the label, vintage, and reason it caught your attention together in a wishlist, separate from the bottles you already own.

How do I remember a wine I tried at a restaurant?
Take a readable label photo and record the vintage. In Pour, select the picture from Scan, verify the result, and save the wine to Wishlist with a note about the occasion. Wishlist records wines you want to find; it is separate from bottles you own and does not check retailer availability.
Save a restaurant wine without losing the details
Take a clear picture of the label while the bottle is available. Include the vintage and producer rather than only the largest word on the front. Later, import the photo into Pour, compare the result with the picture, and save the wine to Wishlist.
If you cannot photograph the bottle, write down the producer, specific wine name, and vintage. Search with those details when you have time. A vague memory such as “the red with a bird on the label” can be difficult to resolve.
Add a wine to Wishlist in Pour
- Scan a label, choose an existing photo, or search for the wine.
- Verify the result against the label or the details you recorded.
- Choose Add to collection and select Wishlist.
- Save the entry and include a personal note about why you want to try it.
- Open Collections and choose the Wishlist list before your next purchase.
Write a note that helps you decide
| How you found it | A note to keep |
|---|---|
| A bottle at dinner | Enjoyed with friends; look for the same vintage |
| A recommendation | Suggested for a weekend meal; have not tried it yet |
| A gift idea | Consider for a birthday; check the recipient’s preference |
| A style to explore | Want to compare with a similar wine I enjoyed |
These are example notes. They help distinguish a bottle you already enjoyed from one you only intend to try.
Keep owned and wanted bottles separate
A wishlist answers “What might I buy?” A cellar inventory answers “What do I already have?” When you buy a saved wine, update the record so its list and quantity reflect the purchase. The cellar tracking walkthrough explains the owned-bottle workflow.
What a wishlist does not tell you
A saved entry is not a reservation or retailer stock check. Pour does not guarantee a wine is available locally or that a displayed price matches a shop’s current offer. Use the producer and vintage to compare listings yourself before buying.
Can I save a bottle before trying it?
Yes. Mark it as wanted and note that it is untried, so you do not confuse a recommendation with your own tasting experience.
Where should I keep tasting memories?
Use personal notes and finished records as a wine tasting journal. Keep Wishlist for the wines you still want to find.
