Have you ever found yourself staring at a long and complicated wine list, unable to decide which wine to order?
Corkdork solves the confusion and overwhelmingness of picking a wine off of any wine list. Using a combination of machine learning and personalized filters, Corkdork will recommend a wine that's right for your next restaurant meal or wine bar visit. Using Corkdork is as easy as taking a picture with your iPhone or iPad, and it's free. Simply set your preferences and start scanning. For those that want more personalized recommendations and advanced features, including guided tastings, receive a one-week free trial when you upgrade to one of our affordable Corkdork+ subscriptions.
Here's how Corkdork works:
(1) Adjust your settings and filters as needed
(2) Scan the wine list with your iPhone or iPad camera. Corkdork supports scanning multiple pages.
(3) Your recommendation will automatically appear.
A couple of FAQs:
Q: Why do I need a wine list scanner?
A: Wine lists can be quite extensive, sometimes over a hundred pages in length with thousands of wines. This makes it almost impossible, even for the most experienced sommeliers (pronounced suh·muhl·yay, a trained wine expert that works for a restaurant) to make a recommendation taking all wines into consideration. Not to mention, a sommelier may not be familiar with your personal tastes and preferences, including wines you've already had. That's where Corkdork can be very useful. By no means do you need to scan the whole wine list–you may want to scan just a page or two–but with Corkdork you have the option.
Q: Isn't a wine list scanner just taking the place of the sommelier?
A: Corkdork is less like a sommelier–who, at no fault of their own, may be inclined to recommend something the restaurant needs to clear our of inventory–and more like your nerdy wine friend who knows your tastes, as well as fancy words like "Sauternes," phrases like "extended maceration," the difference between Left and Right Bank Bordeaux, and signs online petitions to introduce white wine and rosé wine emojis into the Unicode lexicon. (Sidebar: on the latter, this should happen because, for oenophiles, communicating with just the red wine emoji is simply insufficient). Wine is personal because tastes are personal, and Corkdork fosters that.

I thought this app would be really cool. It promised the ability to snap a pic of a wine list and then USE that information in a pairing. I downloaded the app and then attempted to scan two different wine lists in. First the camera feature defaults to automatic page recognition which is a fault since the edges are not easily registered. Second, one captured and attempted to be saved, two separate restaurant wine lists came back with “invalid scan, Corkdork only works with property formatted wine lists”. Unless I am doing something wrong, this is a fatal flaw for this app. No two restaurant wine lists will be the same and there is no ‘standard format’ for that information. My initial view is, thus, very pessimistic about this app. If I am doing something wrong and capturing wine lists is easier, please advise.
