GROUPED SUMMARY REPORTS - New filtering support that is consistent with the regular wine view: by reviewer, score, begin and end drinkign windows, top & bottom cost, top & bottom value, and top & bottom cost/value.
- New aggregates including separate totals for cost and valuation; average vintage age; average menu price for restaurant lists; and counts of bottles in 750ml equivalent (hover over the physical bottle counts to see this info as a tooltip).
- All the grouped summary reports now support an option to only show totals (aggregates) at the lowest level of the grouping. This is useful for conserving screen real estate and having a simpler view.
SIMPLIFIED VALUATION SUPPORT - Now if you add a 750ml valuation for a wine, this will automatically apply proportionally to bottles of all other sizes. You can still set valuations per bottle-size you own, but this is a nice shortcut for more approximate cellar valuation.
- The tool for setting valuations in bulk now only exposes 750ml value which makes it 3 times as fast as before. In addition, it now shows your average bottle price (in 750ml equivalent) as well as handy links to WineSearcher and WineSearcher Pro.
- The bulk valuation report can also now be filtered by the full set of parameters.
MISCELLANEOUS - The Drinkability report can also now be filtered by review scores, drinking windows and the full assortment of prices.
- The preferences for the drinkability report are now stored on the server for each user and have no expiration. (They used to be stored in cookies and as such might have to be reset on each machine or when changing browsers.)
- The Consumption reports now take the new universal-750ml value into account. However, those reports still need to support separate cost & Value totals.
- The report which shows you which wines have professional reviews entered by other users has had is performance improved by a factor of 5-10x. Part of how it does this is only allow one publication to be queried at a time. There is a list of publications at the left to easily switch between them, and the site remembers the last publication you looked at. (This is done at the backend and is remembered no matter which machine or browser you use to look at the site.)
- I made some small changes to the navigation bar so that when you are drilled down to a specific wine you can now easily add a tasting note for another wine (makes life easier when writing up a big tasting) or get to the drinkability report.
COOKIE HANDLING I have made some fundamental changes to the way that cookies are handled, as some prior changes caused problems for various cellphones and some Mac browsers. Every user will have to login to recreate their cookie.
