OUR HOUSE
We didn't want to manage a cellar. We wanted to live with one.
iQWine was born from a simple conviction: a beautiful cellar should never become a spreadsheet chore. It should remember in your place.
The why
The best bottle, forgotten at the back of the cellar.
We all know the moment: guests arrive, and the question lands — what to open? We hesitate, we settle, and the bottle that was right stays lying down, past its peak. The tools out there count bottles. None answer the only question that matters: this one, tonight?
The philosophy
A cellar that remembers.
It is our only obsession. A cellar that holds what you loved, that follows the peak of every bottle, that learns your palate with every tasting. Not an inventory that forgets — a memory that knows you. From that memory came Octave: the sommelier who turns everything your cellar knows into a single decision.
The sommelier of the house
Octave lives here.
“I don’t score wines. I know yours. Tell me the meal and the moment — I’ll take care of the bottle.”
Tell me the moment. I'll find the bottle.
Built here, for here
Built here. For here.
iQWine is built in Québec and hosted in Canada. Your data is neither sold, nor used against you. And because we know the local market as no foreign app ever could, iQWine knows which bottle is on the shelf, near you, across Québec. Wine is lived locally. So is your sommelier.
A word from the founder
“I didn’t set out to build one more app. I wanted a cellar that remembers — and a sommelier who draws the right bottle from it, at the right moment. That is all we build.”
