Enter what you paid, what the bottle is worth today, and how long you have held it, and it computes total gain, percentage appreciation, and an annualized return — the same lens a fund manager would use, applied to the bottles in your cellar.

FAQ
Common questions
The answers collectors
most often ask.
It is the average yearly growth rate your bottle achieved, compounded across the years you held it. It puts a single bottle on the same scale as any other investment, so comparisons become fair.
Recent auction results, specialist merchants, and completed sales of the same bottle in similar condition are the most reliable references. When in doubt, use the lower figure.
No — it only describes the past. Fine spirits have appreciated historically, but nothing is guaranteed. Treat the tool as a record of value, not a forecast.
