WineMate is your personal wine companion — helping you discover, understand and remember wine while learning what you truly like. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Wine experts know wine. WineMate knows your taste. WineMate gets to know your taste through your entire wine journey. The wines you add to your journal and the things you share in conversations help WineMate build a deeper understanding of your preferences over time. YOUR TASTE, UNDERSTOOD WineMate builds a personal taste profile from your wine experiences and conversations. Instead of simply telling you which wines are popular or highly rated, WineMate looks at your own preferences and the patterns that emerge over time. Discover the grapes, regions, styles, aromas and characteristics that repeatedly appeal to you — and see how your taste develops as you explore more wine. DISCOVER YOUR WINE PATTERNS Your taste is more than a list of favorite wines. WineMate looks at your wine journey to identify patterns in what you enjoy. Maybe Cabernet Sauvignon keeps appearing among your favorites. Maybe you are becoming more interested in higher acidity. Maybe certain regions, grapes or styles consistently work for you. WineMate turns these observations into insights that help you understand your own palate. PERSONALIZED WINE RECOMMENDATIONS Discover wines selected specifically for you. WineMate uses what it has learned about your taste to recommend wines that may fit your preferences — and explains why each recommendation may be interesting for you. The goal isn't to find the world's best wine. It's to help you find your best next wine. YOUR PERSONAL WINE JOURNAL Keep track of the wines you taste and build your own personal wine history. Record your experiences, remember what you thought, keep track of your favorites and see how your preferences evolve as you explore more. Your journal gives WineMate valuable insight into your wine journey and helps build a clearer picture of your taste over time. CHAT WITH YOUR AI WINE COMPANION Have questions about wine? Ask WineMate. Explore grapes, regions, styles, food pairings and wine concepts through a conversational AI wine companion designed to help you learn as you go. And your conversations can become part of your wine journey too. When you share what you like, dislike, enjoy or want to explore, WineMate can use those insights to better understand your preferences. You don't have to teach WineMate by filling out endless forms. Just talk about wine. LEARN AS YOU EXPLORE Wine doesn't have to be complicated. WineMate helps you understand the world of wine in a practical and personal way — from grapes and regions to tasting characteristics, wine styles and food pairing. You don't need to memorize everything. Just keep exploring. YOUR WINE JOURNEY GETS BETTER OVER TIME Every wine you add can give WineMate more insight into your preferences. Every conversation can reveal something new. Every discovery can help build a clearer picture of your taste. The more you use WineMate, the better it can understand what makes a wine right for you. WineMate — your personal wine journey, built around your taste.
