COLUMN MAPPING
How your Excel columns map to Saignée
| Excel column | Saignée field |
|---|---|
| Name / Wine / Label | name |
| Producer / Winery | producer |
| Vintage / Year | vintage |
| Qty / Bottles | quantity |
Don't worry about exact header names — Saignée auto-detects the common ones and lets you remap any column in one screen.
WHAT GETS AI-ENRICHED
The columns no spreadsheet carries
After import, Saignée enriches every wine with the data that actually drives decisions — most importantly the drinking window, so you know what to open tonight and what to hold.
- Drinking window
When each bottle enters and leaves its peak — the field that drives Saignée's alerts.
- Region & appellation
Normalised region and appellation, even when your export only had a name.
- Varietal
Grape variety (or blend) inferred from the wine and producer.
- Type
Red, white, rosé, or sparkling, for filtering and pairing.
- Expert rating
A critic-style score and a one-line tasting note.
Excel import — questions answered
My columns are named differently — do I have to rename them?
No. Saignée auto-detects common header names (wine/name/label, producer/winery, vintage/year, qty/quantity) and lets you remap anything by hand in one screen.
I don't have a spreadsheet yet — where do I start?
Download our free template with the exact columns Saignée expects, fill it in, and upload it.
What does AI enrichment add to my spreadsheet?
For every wine it adds the drinking window, region, varietal, type, and an expert rating — the columns that are tedious to maintain by hand.
