## What is Grape Base?

Grape Base is your personal food and wine pairing assistant. Grape Base uses data collected from years of research to suggest the top wines to pair with the food you're eating. 

Know what wine you want to drink? Grape Base has you covered and will suggest dishes, cuisines, and flavors to pair with your bottle. Know what food you want to eat? Grape Base pairs the perfect wine to whatever you're eating. Try new combinations or learn more about the classics.

Wine and food pairing has never been easier. No complicated filters or quizzes, just search for what you want to eat or drink and we'll pair the perfect wines or dishes for you. You'll immediately see what you should definitely try, what's worth trying and even what to avoid.

Want more? Grape Base will take your wine pairings to an all new level. Learn what temp to serve each wine at, what type of decanter to use or even how long you can age a bottle at home. 

We've introduced a revolutionary new way to explore wine. After discovering the perfect pairing you can explore the best vintages of the region or grape you're pairing with. Our vintage "charts" make finding the perfect year, or the ones to avoid, simple and easy. Select the region or grape, and instantly see scores for that pair. No more scouring the internet or squinting at tiny tables to get the data you want. 

Grape Base takes vintage "charts" one step further - our machine learning and proprietary weather model allow us to provide vintage scores for any officially recognized region in the world and the primary grapes grown there. Want to know how the current year ended up? We can provide scores the minute harvest ends so you don't have to wait for scores to be published in a year's time.

Grape Base is the ultimate food and wine pairing app. From wine pairings to vintage charts to serving and aging suggestions, Grape Base is the only wine app you'll ever need.

### 3/5 — Wish I could make it work

*2025-03-18*

I can’t even type 1 letter before the app goes crazy and makes random suggestions. I like the idea but the experience is terrible
