Built by a wine collector and bartender with WSET Level 2 and the Court of Master Sommeliers’ Introductory certificate.

The House Pour cocktails screen on the web: 22 drinks you can pour from 14 bottles. Each drink names the bottles it would pour and whether they’re open or sealed: an Americano with Campari and Carpano Antica Formula, a Bee’s Knees with Beefeater London Dry Gin, a Daiquiri with Planteray 3 Stars White Rum.
The House Pour collection screen on an iPhone, showing Sam’s Cellar & Bar, nine bottles. Each row has the vintage, wine, producer and region, a status in words, a vintage score and the drink window drawn as a bar. A 2015 Barolo Riserva Monfortino reads Ready, vintage 95, window 2026 to 2055. A 2020 Brunello di Montalcino reads Hold, a 2014 Côtes du Rhône Blanc reads Past peak, and a bottle of Campari has no window.

Drink it or hold it? What can I mix?

Wine is all about timing: too young and it’s harsh, too old and it’s flat. A bar is all about ideas: plenty to pour and nothing in mind.

A wine cellar app won’t make you a cocktail, and a home bar app doesn’t know when a wine is ready to drink. So you end up with two apps. House Pour does both, and explains its picks.

Your collection

Your wine, in one collection with your bar

Is it ready to drink?

How it tastes

See how each wine, beer, spirit and sake tastes, and where that comes from. Wines also show how they’ll age.

Should you buy it?

4 out of 10 · Redundant

“Skip it for now; you have two Barolos to drink first, and this one would sit for years before it is ready.”

Thinking of buying a wine? The Advisor scores it out of ten against what you already have, and tells you straight when to skip it. Not sure what to buy? Describe what you’re after and get styles of wine to look for, picked around what you already have.

The Advisor’s read on a 2019 Barolo Riserva at $180: 4 out of 10, Redundant. Under the verdict it shows what the wine usually sells for, $90 to $200, and its reasons: two Barolos already in the collection, both ready to drink now, and a young wine that needs several more years.

Your bar

Cocktails you can make with what you have

See the drinks you can pour right now. Recipes use your open bottles first and name them: your Campari, not “bitter aperitivo”. And see which missing bottle would add the most drinks.

Wine Spirits Beer Sake Bitters

Every bottle gets treated right: an open vermouth shows how long it’s been open, bitters count by the dash, and bottles you’d rather sip stay out of your cocktails.

Each ingredient names the bottle it would pour: 1.5 oz bourbon from an open Buffalo Trace, 1 oz Campari from a sealed bottle, 1 oz sweet vermouth from an open Carpano Antica Formula. Then the method, an orange twist to garnish, and a Made this button.

How it works

  1. Add your collection. Import your wines from a spreadsheet, scan a label, or fill in a quick form.

  2. Pour, and keep your notes. Mark a bottle opened or finished then add your score and notes. Made a cocktail? Tap made this. Everything you finish or make lands in your journal.

Your collection is yours

Other accounts can’t see your collection. Share a bottle with a friend, notes and all, whenever you like. Delete your account in the app and everything goes with it, right away.

Common questions

What is House Pour?

House Pour is a wine cellar and home bar app. Your wine, spirits, beer and sake live in one collection. It shows which wines are ready, the cocktails you can make, and what to pour with any dish.

Do I need to know a lot about wine?

Nope. You get plain answers: drink it now, let it wait, skip it, make this cocktail. The detail is there if you want it.

Does House Pour work for spirits, beer and sake, or just wine?

All of them, in one collection. Wine gets a drink window, beer keeps its style, an open vermouth shows its opened date, and bitters count by the dash.

How does it tell whether a wine is ready to drink?

It goes by a drink window: the years a wine should drink well. House Pour can suggest one when you add a bottle, and you can always change it.

How does it know which cocktails I can make?

It checks every recipe against your bar, uses open bottles first and tells you which bottle it’d pour. Bottles you keep for sipping stay out.

Can I import my wine collection from CellarTracker or a spreadsheet?

Yes, for your wine. Export a CSV from CellarTracker or your spreadsheet, match the columns and import. Add bar bottles by scanning a label or using the form.

Is there an iPhone app? What about Android?

Yes. House Pour is on the App Store for iPhone. On Android or a computer, it runs in your web browser, with the same account and the same collection.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, from your account page. It’s immediate and permanent: your bottles, notes, photos and saved drinks are deleted, and links you’ve shared stop working.

Is House Pour free?

Yes, while it’s in development. A subscription is planned for later. Until then, there’s nothing to pay.

How do I get an account?

Create your account with your email address, on the web or in the iPhone app. It’s one account and one collection, wherever you sign in.
