Well, after a year of wanting to do this, I finally did it!

PER-BOTTLE NOTES
Now you can add individual notes (up to 255 characters) to specific bottles. You can search on these for exact matches or wildcard searches (only from the advanced query UI) in either the individual bottle view or the main cellar list view.

I still have a number of things I would like to do:

Support printing these on barcode labels
When consuming a bottle, automatically pre-pending the bottle note to the consumption note.
I am sure as people use this subtly powerful feature more ideas will come up.

Meanwhile, this is really useful for recording things that are specific to bottles such as:

Low fill, leaker etc.
Signed by winemaker
This bottle was a gift from...
Drink this one first
And so on and so on and so on...

Enjoy!

This is indeed very powerful, for example:
- disgorgement date for champagnes
- information on quality of label, e.g. I might want to consume a bottle with a torn label in an informal setting and keep one with a perfect label for a more formal occasion or for sale)
- information on past storage history: from time to time if I don't have enough place I have to split a case between my passive and my active cellar, and if a bottle gets upgraded to the active cellar, I might want to have a note saying: stored for 3 years in passive cellar (as opposed to a default of full time in active). I might want to know as well if a specific bottle has traveled a lot.
- information on delivery context or batch: indicating if the delivery was in hot weather (sending the bottles back is not always an option) or if a batch seems to be faulty (it happened to me that I bought 6 bottles somewhere and they were great and 6 others had problems...)
- other problems with the label: vintage wrongly indicated, vintage unreadable except on cork side, ...
- "shelves": it is usual to reserve bottles for somebody, it's a good place to indicate it - "to drink with XXX" or "YYY would like to try it again in 5y" or "ZZZ said he would bhe delighted to have it at a future OL", "bought for AAA's birth", ...
