## What is SIP.wine?

Wine, made personal.

sip.wine is for the curious drinker — the person who wants to understand what's in their glass without being lectured about it. No sommelier voice. No score-chasing. A clear, personal way to find a wine you'll actually love.

SCAN ANYTHING 
Point your camera at a single bottle, a whole shelf, or a restaurant list. Every wine comes back with a vibe, a match score, and the detail you need to choose.

BUILD YOUR PALATE 
Every wine you scan, save, or sip adds shape to your palate. Vibe labels — "Bold & layered," "Crisp & refreshing" — and a small radial fingerprint make each bottle's feel legible at a glance.

DISCOVER WITHOUT GUESSWORK 
Search "natural Burgundy under $40" or "Spätburgunder" — sip.wine actually understands. Curated tabs sort the results into Best Quality, Great Value, and Worth Discovering, so you don't have to.

SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE SIPPING 
A live look at what real drinkers are pouring right now. Curiosity, not algorithms.

UNDERSTAND THE BOTTLE 
Plain-language tasting notes. Context that earns its place. Nothing you need a second glass to decode.

MADE FOR THE MOMENT 
At the shop, deciphering a shelf. At the restaurant, scanning a list. At home, pouring a Tuesday glass. sip.wine is built for the decision in front of you — fast, quiet, and confident.

WINE, WITH FRIENDS 
Add the people you drink with. See where your palates overlap — and where they push you somewhere new.

SIP CIRCLE — THE SOCIAL SIDE, UNLOCKED 
For drinkers who want more from the table. Members unlock Taste Orbit (a visual map of your palate next to your closest matches), Pick a Wine for a Friend (three tiered gift picks — Safe, Thoughtful, Stretch), View as a Friend (re-rank a shelf through their taste), Picking for the Table (score a restaurant menu for a group of three), Try This (nudges into styles you've been skipping), and Memory of the Moment (the place, people, and mood, captured with every bottle).

Tasting notes and supporting context are AI-assisted and informational. Intended for drinkers of legal age. Terms of Use: https://sip.wine/terms-of-use (Standard Apple EULA applies).
