A diary, not a marketplace

Khollar is a quiet place to log the bottles you drink, build a taste profile that's actually yours, and share what's in your glass with the people you care about. No ratings race. No ads. No commerce.

The name

Khollar was a small village in the hills above Shiraz.

In the 9th century, the city of Shiraz had earned a reputation for producing the finest wine in the known world. But the very best of it didn't come from the city — it came from the terraced vineyards of Khollar, a tiny village just above. European travellers wrote home about it. Marco Polo tasted it. The Persian poet Hafez sang its praise.

Then, slowly, the village was forgotten. The vineyards fell quiet. The world kept drinking — but no one remembered where the best wine had once come from.

We took the name because we believe wine is memory.The wines you loved should never be forgotten — not yours, and not the ones who loved them before you.

01

Log a bottle in 20 seconds

Search the catalogue or scan a label. Pick a rating. Add a note if you feel like it. Done.

02

Watch your taste appear

Five logs in, your taste profile starts taking shape — by region, grape, style. No surveys. It's just you, reflected back.

03

Drink with friends, not algorithms

A chronological feed of what your friends are pouring. No "trending creators". No sponsored posts. No infinite scroll bait.

How it works

Built around one simple loop.

Barolo Cannubi 2017
Piedmont · Nebbiolo

1. Find the wine

Over 200,000 wines from the LWIN catalogue. Can't find yours? Add it in seconds — the community keeps the database alive.

Dinner with M. & A. — surprised by how youthful it still drinks. Cherry, leather, that signature tar finish.

2. Log the moment

Rate it, write a note, tag whoever you were with. Or don't — a star and a date is enough. This is your diary, not homework.

3. See yourself, clearly

Your taste profile builds itself. The more you log, the sharper the picture — and the better the wines we can suggest later.

What we're not

We made different choices.

No marketplace.
We don't sell wine. We don't take commission on bottles you buy. That means we have no reason to push you toward anything. The app's only job is to remember well.
No ads.
Ads break the mood and signal that you're the product. You're not. Drinkers pay nothing. Cellar subscribers pay a few francs. That's the whole business model on the drinker side.
No follower count.
Khollar is small on purpose. You add the friends you actually drink with. The feed is chronological. Logs only — three a day max per person — so it never becomes noise.
No 100-point scoring.
Five stars and a sentence. If you want to write a paragraph about the tannins, write it. If you just want to mark "yes, again" — that works too.
vs Vivino

Vivino is a marketplace with a social layer bolted on. Ratings feed price discovery and merchant referrals — that's the business model. Khollar has no commercial interest in what you drink.

"Vivino wants to sell you wine. Khollar wants to remember it with you."
vs CellarTracker

CellarTracker is deep, powerful, and built for serious collectors managing physical inventory. Khollar is for people who drink wine and want to remember what they loved — no cellar management required.

"CellarTracker is for collectors. Khollar is for drinkers."
vs Delectable

Delectable is built around label scanning and buying. Commerce is the exit. Khollar has no commerce layer — the log is the point, not the purchase funnel.

"Delectable wants you to buy. Khollar wants you to remember."
