I'm already using Tellico with my books and old cameras (photography).

My idea is to add fields usually wanted by sommeliers, or wine 
enthusiasts having a wine cellar. If you think it may be useful, you can 
update it as the default template or not.

The only thing is about translation. I can do it only for french, 
portuguese and english.

Either way, I'll manage my wines based on the actual template.

An example of wine tasting notes can be found here :

It still lacks some information about the kind of wine, as I said in 
previous mail. You can find most of them at LWIN database. Not all 
fields in LWIN database are interesting.

Best regards
