Year in Review is a swipeable, card-by-card recap of your collection's year — how it grew, what you added and spent, what you drank, and the wine types, regions, grapes and producers you leaned on. You can open it any time from your collection settings on iPhone or iPad.
It is not a January-only feature. A banner announces it each January, but the recap itself sits permanently in Collection settings, and dismissing the banner does not take it away — the app says as much while the banner fades: "You can access this anytime in your collection settings".
There is one edition so far and it covers 2025. It does not expire.
How to open it
Home → collection name → Collection settings → Year in Review
On Home, tap your collection name at the top, then Collection settings.
Scroll to the Year in Review section.
Tap View 2025 Year in Review.
Swipe left and right through the cards at your own pace.
In January you also get a banner at the top of Home reading Your 2025 Year in Review is here, with a View button. That banner only appears once your account is more than 60 days old, and it stays until you close it with the ✕. Neither the January window nor the 60-day wait applies to the Collection settings route.
The cards, and why you may see fewer
A card with too little behind it is skipped rather than shown empty, so a quiet year is a shorter story.
Card | You see it when |
Your collection grew in 2025 | your collection ended the year bigger than it started |
In 2025, you collected | always — the count, a few of the bottles, and what you spent |
The wines you collected the most | you added at least one bottle |
You stocked up on these regions | you added wine from three or more regions |
The grapes you collected the most | you added three or more grape varieties |
Top producers you collected this year | you added wine from three or more producers |
Money was no object… | you added five or more bottles and one of them carries a purchase price |
You might be trying to hoard this wine… | you added ten or more bottles of a single wine |
In 2025, you consumed | you removed at least one bottle during the year |
Your favorite grapes to drink in 2025 | you drank three or more grape varieties |
If you added and drank almost nothing in 2025, you get a single card saying so instead of a run of empty ones.
What counts, and when
A bottle belongs to 2025 by its purchase date, or by the day you added it if it has no purchase date. On the drinking side the removal date is what places it, so a bottle you drank in December and only logged in January still sits in December's year.
Every removal reason counts towards the drinking cards, not only Consumed — but a bottle you permanently deleted counts for nothing, because deleting leaves no removal date behind. It reads the whole collection too, so on a shared collection the numbers cover everyone who adds and removes bottles.
Sharing a card
Sharing is the final card, not a button on each one. Swipe through to Cheers to an incredible 2025 and you get a carousel of every card you were shown, each already rendered as an image with the InVintory wordmark on it. Scroll to the one you want and tap Share to send it to Messages, Instagram, Photos or anywhere else iOS offers. The opening card is the only one you cannot share.
Where it works
Year in Review is on iPhone and iPad only. It is not in the Android app and not on app.invintory.com.
