Release note – 27/11/2025 (summary)

With this update, we’ve added several improvements and new features to make it even easier to digitise your daily work in both the vineyard and the cellar.

Fixed issues (bug fixes)

This release resolves, among others, the following issues:

• It is again possible to edit winery details (winery configuration).
• You can now add a bottling step as a task in the Task Manager.
• The date of a soil-cultivation registration in the vineyard can now be edited after saving.
• The search function in dropdown menus works properly again, making long lists much faster and easier to navigate.

New features

1) Additional languages
The platform is now also available in German, Spanish, and Romanian. You can change the language in the top-right corner of your screen.

2) Cellar inventory (Cellar Library)
In Inventory → Cellar library, you will now find two clear sub-menus:

• Containers: a library to digitise bottles, BIBs, and other packaging types used on your winery.
• Additives: a library to digitise products used in the cellar, including lot numbers.
  This makes adding vinification products to wine registrations faster and easier. Below you will find the full explanation of this new feature.

3) Split/Merge of a Cellar Batch (CBN)

• You can now split a cellar batch with multiple tanks into new batches per tank, without moving volumes.
• You can also merge two batches into one new batch, again without volume transfers.

4) Export to CSV (Excel)
You can now export data to CSV/Excel for:

• Bottling steps
• Post-bottling steps
• Harvest module

With this update, this export function is now available for all registrations made in the platform.

Help Desk: Cellar Additives Library

This guide explains how to digitize vinification products (“additives”) in the Cellar Library, add usage situations with preset dosages, and register lot numbers for traceability.

Before you start

In Craft your Taste, all products used in the cellar must be digitized in the Additives Library.
We recommend doing this in advance, during a calmer period before harvest, so you are not blocked later when registering cellar steps.

Where to find the Additives Library

1. Open the sidebar.
2. Go to Inventory → Cellar library.
3. You will land on the Containers tab first (bottles, BIB, etc.).
4. At the top of the page, switch to the second tab: Additives.

If you open this tab for the first time, the table will be empty — that’s normal.

Important note

Since the latest update, digitizing cellar additives is mandatory.
If a product is missing from the library, you won’t be able to add it during a vinification registration. Taking a moment to digitize your current products now will save time later.

Add a new additive

1. In the Additives tab, click the yellow button “Add additive” (top right).
2. A pop-up form opens with two main sections:
   • General information
   • Situations

1) General information

Fill in the following fields:

• Vinification substances
  Select the substances contained in this product. The dropdown contains the EU-listed substances for the QR-code regulation.
  This will allow Craft your Taste to generate ingredient QR codes per Bottle Batch in the future (planned for 2026).
  If a substance is missing, choose “Other”.
• Name
  Commercial name of the product.
• Description of additive
  Short product description (from the label or technical sheet).
• Purpose of additive
  The goal of using this product (what you want to achieve in the wine).
• Dedicated wine colors & wine styles
  This will be used in a future feature to filter recommended products based on Cellar Batch characteristics (e.g., red still wine).
  It will not block you, but helps shorten the product list during “Add vinification product”.

2) Situations (preset dosage scenarios)

This section helps you save common use cases with a predefined dosage.

Example situation: Stop malolactic conversion – 20 mg / 100 L wine

Click “Add situation” (green button) to add as many situations as you want. In the “Additional information” field, you can describe the recommended way to add this product to the wine, or share practical guidance on how it should be used in the cellar.

Later, during “Add vinification product”, you can select a situation and the platform will:

• show the correct dosage automatically
• calculate the required quantity for each storage unit (cuve, barrique, etc.)

3) Save the additive

When all details are complete, click Save.

If successful, you’ll see:
“Additive created successfully.”

The additive will now appear in your overview.

Add lot numbers to an additive (traceability)

For food safety and traceability, it’s important to record lot numbers for products used in your wines.
Craft your Taste lets you register every lot number per additive.

How to add a lot

1. In the additives overview, click the green “+” button next to the product.
2. A form opens — fill in the lot information.

Important: this is a library, not a stock system‍

The platform does not ask you to enter quantities in kg/L.
You can store lot numbers for traceability, but you cannot track exact remaining stock per lot yet.

You can choose one of these approaches:

• Track packages in stock
  Add a lot for each package, even if the factory lot number is the same.
  The system will warn you about duplicates, but allows saving.
• Track lot numbers only
  Add one entry per unique lot number, regardless of how many packages you have.

Lot form fields

• Lot number
  Official factory lot number from the package.
• Personal identifier
  Your own internal ID linked to this lot number.
  We display this ID in the platform because it’s often clearer than the factory code.
  Recommended: write this personal ID on each package with the same factory lot number.
• Manufacturer
  Producer of the additive.
• Storage location (optional)
  Free text field to note where you store the product.
• Expiration date
  Expiry date as shown on the package.

To add multiple lots at once, click “Add another lot” on the right side of the form.

Quick summary

• Digitize your cellar products in Inventory → Cellar library → Additives.
• Add an additive with General information + optional Situations (preset dosages).
• Save the product, then register lot numbers via the green + for traceability.
• Quantities per lot are not tracked yet — this is a library, not a full inventory system.
