And this is only made possible thanks to its database, curated by a team of experts, not by users or artificial intelligence. This unique catalog contains all the information about the ideal tasting notes for each wine.

Today, SmartCave boasts the largest and most comprehensive database with over 6,000,000 wines worldwide. If your wine isn't listed, you can add it to your cellar with basic information and even specify its own peak period, for instance.

There are numerous market price for wines available on the internet or on mobile applications.
In reality, these prices correspond to the selling prices of wine distributors to individuals. This price cannot guarantee the resale price of your wines to a professional. As you might understand, the professional buyer will always purchase it well below this price to resell it later at a good price.
Our rating for fine wines is based on an algorithm that calculates this rating as accurately as possible thanks to the catalog of our professional partners, leaders in the fine wine market.
This market price is, of course, based on wines that have been well-kept and stored under optimal conditions. Therefore, our market price might seem lower in comparison to other websites offering wine market prices, but they correspond to the actual market supply and the price at which you could expect to resell them to a professional.
How is the market price of other wines calculated?
The market price of wines outside of "Fine wines" is calculated based on the average purchase prices of SmartCave users. These prices rarely change over time and very little from one year to another because they are not speculative wines. Our market price can then guide you to purchase your wines at the right price.

Smartcave is a registered trademark of the company PASSION DEGUSTATION, founded by Audrey Gribelin in 2007. In 2014, a group of partners joined the adventure, convinced by the added value of its wine database.
Audrey GRIBELIN has been involved in the world of wine since her early childhood; her family owned the Château de Fieuzal Grand Cru Classé de Graves.She gained experience in various aspects of the family business, transitioning from a wine merchant to a negotiator, and in 2000 discovered the world of the internet through an internship at At Internet, which captivated her. A few years later, in 2007, she started her own company specializing in wine tastings for individuals. However, it was the arrival of smartphones and her firsthand experience with professionals and individuals that led her to launch SmartCave in June 2011. The objective was to introduce wines to as many people as possible and help them open and share their bottles at the right time and with the right dishes.
