## What is inVoak?

inVoak — Your AI Personal Sommelier

inVoak is an AI-powered wine companion that learns your individual palate and puts that knowledge to work in the real moments where wine decisions happen — standing in a store aisle, scanning a restaurant wine list, or picking out a gift. Where existing apps lean on crowd-sourced ratings and basic label lookups, inVoak builds a deep, evolving model of your taste and explains every recommendation in plain English.

How it works

It starts with your Palate Profile. A short onboarding flow — natural-language questions plus a guided self-assessment of a handful of reference wines — captures the dimensions that actually define taste: tannin preference, acidity tolerance, sweetness, oak influence, body weight, and regional style affinities. From there, every wine you rate and every note you log refines the model. The longer you use inVoak, the better it knows you.

Camera-first discovery. Point your camera at a wine label, a restaurant menu page, or an entire shelf, and get instant recommendations ranked against your personal profile. Each pick comes with a match score, a plain-English explanation of why it suits you, key tasting notes, and price context — so you can decide with confidence in seconds, not minutes of scrolling reviews.

An AI sommelier you can actually talk to. Ask context-specific questions the way you'd ask a friend who happens to be a wine expert: "What should I order with steak tonight?" or "Gift for someone who loves Pinot Noir, budget $40." The sommelier draws on your personal profile and real-time wine data to answer with specific bottles, not generic advice.

A wine journal that works for you. Log every wine with ratings, structured or freeform tasting notes, the occasion, location, and food pairing. Your journal becomes a searchable record of your entire wine history — and every entry feeds back into your taste model.

Your cellar, organized. Track the bottles you own with label scans or manual entry — vintage, quantity, purchase date, price, and notes. Non-vintage wines are fully supported.

Wine is social. Connect with friends to share taste profiles and journals. A Discovery Feed surfaces wines your friends rated highly, filtered through your own palate, and a Palate Match Score shows how compatible your tastes are.

The Gift Sommelier. inVoak takes the guesswork out of giving wine. Pick a friend, set a budget and occasion, and the AI generates gift recommendations based on their verified palate model — automatically excluding anything they've already tried. Every suggestion comes with an explanation ("Sarah loves high-acid whites — this Chablis fits her profile and she hasn't tried it yet").

Free and Premium. The free tier includes label scans and sommelier questions each month. Premium unlocks hundreds of label scans and thousands of AI sommelier chats every month, advanced palate analytics, full cellar management, and richly detailed premium themes.

inVoak is for the casual drinker who wants to drink better — no collector spreadsheets, no point-score snobbery, just the right bottle for you, every time.

### 5/5 — The Most Personalized Wine App I’ve Used

*2026-07-18*

Really enjoying the AI component of this app. It goes beyond simply identifying wines by providing detailed information on producers, regions, and flavour profiles that many other apps don’t always capture. It’s done an awesome job of learning my palate and has recommended several wines that I have genuinely enjoyed.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-07-16*

Sommelier in your hand that is super easy to use. Scans a bottle or a menu and talks to you about the wine(s), giving you suggestions for what wines you’ll like. Exactly what I was looking for, since I don’t know exactly what wines I like.

The App is first of all so intuitive and easy to use, with a variety of wonderful options for everything wine.  From being able to scan a wine bottle where it will tell you all about it, to asking any questions about wine; as well as keeping track of what you have stored in your wine cellar.  It is a one stop shop, and all you need in pairing information.  If you’re looking for a wine connoisseur, then look no further - I give this App a definite 5 stars!!

This app is amazing - it has thought of the simplest things that make my wine selection and experiences top shelf. So many useful features other wine apps just don’t have. Can’t wait to expand my profile!

As someone who's just beginning to explore the world of wine, this will be an incredible resource. It's interactive, intuitive, and very user friendly, making it easy to learn without feeling overwhelmed.
One of my favorite features is the level of personalization. The recommendations feel tailored to my tastes and the detailed explanations have helped me better understand different varietals and discover wines I genuinely enjoy.
