Thanks for your interest in Tellico. From your email, I'm not sure if
you're suggesting that the default template should be updated or you
may not be aware than you can fully customize the collection fields,
adding, removing, or modifying the available values. I believe that
functionality should allow for creating a collection such as you
suggest. For the default fields, they're intended to be a starter set
only.

Thanks for that pointer. I can investigate what LWIN may have to offer.

The UPCItemDb may be an option but right now Tellico doesn't support
UPC lookup for wine collections. I can also look into that.

It's a defunct XML definition, you can see what used to be at
https://web.archive.org/web/20180307141818/http://vinoxml.org/
I'll probably remove that importer from Tellico in the near future.

Thanks for your email,
