Delectable (built by Antonio Galloni's Vinous) is a scan-and-rate tasting log: photograph a label, rate the wine, and see what sommeliers and friends are drinking in a social feed. Its free tier is generous, and Premium ($5.99/mo) adds Vinous critic reviews, an ad-free feed, and priority label transcription.
What it doesn't do is manage a cellar: there's no quantity tracking, no drinking-window guidance, and no alert before a bottle you're holding onto starts to fade. Saignée is built for that exact job — track what you own, get warned before it peaks or fades, and get an AI pairing from your actual bottles for tonight's dinner.

THE FLAT-PRICING DIFFERENCE
Delectable and Saignée solve different problems. Delectable is an excellent way to log a tasting and see what your favorite sommeliers are drinking. Saignée is built for the cellar itself: how many bottles you have, which ones are ready now, which are fading, and what to pour with tonight's dinner. Many collectors use Delectable to log a tasting night and Saignée to manage what's actually in the rack.
Questions answered
Can I import my Delectable wines into Saignée?
Yes. Request an export of your wine list from Delectable (there's no in-app export button, so contact their support), then upload the CSV to Saignée. Wine names are mapped automatically and every bottle is AI-enriched with a drinking window, region, varietal, and rating.
Does Delectable track how many bottles I own?
Not really — Delectable is a tasting log and social feed built around scanning and rating wines you're drinking, not a quantity-tracked inventory. Saignée tracks exactly how many bottles you own of each wine and warns you before any of them fade.
Why switch from Delectable to Saignée?
You might not switch entirely — they do different jobs. Delectable is a good place to log tastings and follow sommeliers and friends. Saignée fills the gap it leaves: an actual cellar inventory with AI drinking-window alerts and pairings from the wines you own, at a flat price up to 50,000 bottles (verified July 2026).
