You read ingredient lists on food. Why not on wine? You're in a store aisle staring at hundreds of bottles. You pick one up, flip it around—nothing. No ingredients listed. Just a pretty label and a price tag. You bring it home. A glass or two. Next morning? A headache. Again. You blamed sulfites. Everyone does. But sulfites aren't the problem. The real culprit is the 70+ chemical additives legally permitted in wine—never printed on any label. Industrial yeasts, colorants, excessive fining agents. You've been drinking them for years without knowing. WINE A BEE™ AI is the ingredient list the wine industry refuses to give you. HOW IT WORKS Point your camera at any wine—at the shop, restaurant, or home. In seconds: GREEN = Well-crafted—minimal intervention, transparent practices RED = Chemically produced—industrial methods, undisclosed additives YELLOW = Filtered match based on your preferences (1) Tap any bottle for its full wine card: 1–10 quality score, wine type, sugar clarity, and a plain-language explanation of why it earned its rating. No more guessing. No more headaches. THE 1–10 AUTHENTICITY SCORE Not a taste rating—a production transparency score built on 45 years of expertise across 88 countries and 160,000 tasting experiences. Six proprietary pillars evaluate how the wine was actually made—from farming practices in the field to the real consumer feedback that matters. No other rating system works this way. YOUR AI SOMMELIER Imagine the world's greatest sommeliers gathered at your table, all agreeing on the best wine for your meal and how to appreciate it. That's Dany — 45 years of expertise. Ask anything. What to pair with tonight's dinner, whether that $15 bottle is worth it. Honest answers — not marketing copy, not paid reviews, not opinions from strangers. WORKS WITH OR WITHOUT INTERNET No signal at the wine store? No problem. Thousands of pre-analyzed wines live on your device. When you're back online, the app pulls deeper analysis from its cloud database. No frustration. No waiting. DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE At the wine stores, (SAQ, LCBO, etc.) —at a restaurant or planning dinner—one scan turns confusion into confidence. Sugar insight demystifies "dry vs. sweet." Pairings follow proven rules that work at the table. Each scan teaches you something, so you gain skill with every bottle. And here's what most people discover: once you start choosing wines rated 7 and above, the headaches stop. The tiredness stops. You start enjoying wine instead of recovering from it.

The score measures quality, not taste: terroir (grown) versus techno (manufactured). If there is a producer QR, harvest, grape blend, and vineyard work from the sheet can complete the rating. If there is no sheet, the rating stays with what is on the glass. The first card you see is the final one; label facts and sheet facts are listed separately. ### 2.4.0 (406) — 2026-08-27 THE UNKNOWN BOTTLE, SOLVED A wine missing from the catalogue used to hand you a list of blank fields. Not anymore. Shoot the front label and Dany names the bottle — producer, cuvée, vintage. He asks for the back, reads the facts, and puts your WINE A BEE rating on screen in under 10 seconds. No waiting, no dead end. PRICE AND WHERE TO BUY Ask for details and Dany researches the current price on the web — currency, date and source link — starting with the producer's own shop. DANY ANSWERS LIVE Replies now write themselves out as he thinks instead of landing all at once, and they no longer get cut off mid-sentence. While he studies your photos, he tells you where he's at, in his own words. RATINGS THAT HOLD STILL One bottle, one score. No more numbers jumping between frames while you line up the shot. Quebec wines keep their true WINE A BEE rating, and French labels no longer get filed as beer or spirits. MY CELLAR New scans stop colliding with bottles you already own. No duplicates, and your PICOT tasting notes pick up right where you left them. COMMUNITY A bottle you contribute now shows its journey on screen: processing, provisional, corroborated, identity verified, then the official WAB verdict. YOUR PHOTOS Captured labels are saved back to your camera roll again. Thirty-five test builds later: subscriptions, sign-in and camera stability fixed thanks to your feedback. Cheers! ### 2.3.4 (371) — 2026-08-06 Scanning a bottle is now sharper and more reliable, especially at close range on compatible iPhones.
