The film
One minute to understand.
What changes when your cellar remembers — and a sommelier who knows you, from the first glass to the last.
Why iQWine exists
Great bottles are opened too soon. Or forgotten too late.
The perfect vintage slips past its peak in the shadow of a cellar.
A great bottle is opened on an ordinary night — and is lost.
And a critic’s “92 / 100” knows nothing of your palate.
That’s why iQWine exists. A cellar that remembers — every bottle, and you.
THE HEART OF IQWINE
A cellar that remembers.
It remembers what you loved. It knows the drinking window of every bottle, your history, your preferences — and it learns with every tasting. You no longer manage an inventory that forgets. You live with a cellar that knows you.
- A memory of your tastes
- Drinking windows tracked, bottle by bottle
- A history of your tastings
- Continuous learning of your palate
The pillars
Four chapters, one sommelier.

Chianti Classico 2022
Castello di Ama · Toscane
Octave recommends
You tell me “lasagna,” and your palate loves a lively acidity: Sangiovese cuts the tomato and the richness of the béchamel, its fine tannins stand up to the beef. Born for this dish, and for your taste.

For your lasagna, and your taste for supple reds: rounder and fruitier than the Chianti, it hugs the sauce without ever overpowering it. The warming pick — ready tonight, under $20.

YOUR PALATE, NOT AN AVERAGE SCORE
Same question. Two answers.
« A full-bodied red would work, for example a Bordeaux. »
« Open your 2013 Pio Cesare Barolo: it’s at its peak, and it has exactly the melted tannins you loved last month. »
THE MORE YOU USE IT, THE MORE IT KNOWS YOU
Your palate, month after month.
A red ready tonight? Here are three options in your cellar.
You’ve leaned to supple reds: I’ll hold back that still-firm Brunello and pull out the Rioja Gran Reserva.
I know your evenings: melted tannins midweek, more structure when you host. This Friday, your Crozes-Hermitage.
Your tasting journal
No two people ever get the same recommendation.
A generic assistant rediscovers you with every question. Octave never starts from scratch.
NEVER STUCK
Octave knows exactly where to find it.
Octave doesn’t just recommend a wine. If it isn’t in your cellar, it knows where to find it: the right bottle, on the shelf, at the nearest store — and whether it’s available tonight.
Local availability, verified store by store, across Québec. You no longer head out blind: you know before you even leave.
A network of stores, across Québec
Not just what to open. Where to get it.
Store · Outremont · In stock in-store
“Near you, the Guigal Côtes-du-Rhône at $24.50 is on the shelf — fleshy, spiced, perfect tonight.”
No foreign app knows what’s available near you, store by store.
WHEN IT REALLY MATTERS
The nights you can’t get it wrong.
For those with a cellar that matters, who host, and who don’t want to waste a great bottle.
02A MEAL THAT MATTERS
The right wine on the right dish, in the right order — the way a sommelier would.
03A GREAT BOTTLE
Octave tracks the drinking window: you open it at its peak, never too early, never too late.
04AVOIDING THE COSTLY MISTAKE
So you don’t let a precious bottle slip past.
THE DRINKING WINDOW, IN PLAIN WORDS
Three states. One clear verdict.
01TOO YOUNG
Still austere, the tannins grip. Give it time — or decant two hours.
02AT ITS PEAK
This is the moment. Everything’s in place: open it, it’ll never be better.
03DRINK WITHOUT DELAY
It’s past the threshold. Still lovely, but the fruit is fading. Drink it soon.
And when a great bottle nears its limit, Octave tells you — before it’s too late.
The peace of mind of always knowing. Octave learns your palate and watches over the drinking window of every bottle — so the great nights live up to them.
Wherever you drink
At home. At the store. At the restaurant.

THE IQWINE CIRCLE
Living with a cellar that remembers.
iQWine members share a conviction: a good bottle is never just a purchase, it’s a moment you prepare for. They don’t own a cellar — they live with it. A cellar that remembers what they love, that knows when to open, and that makes them the host who always knows what to open.
