Standing in the wine aisle looking at two hundred bottles you have never heard of? Photograph the shelf. WineSight reads the labels and tells you which bottles are worth buying — for your taste, at your price. THREE WAYS TO USE IT • I'm at the store — photograph the whole shelf and get the bottles worth buying, ranked • I'm at a restaurant — photograph the wine list and get the picks from it that suit you and your dish • Just this one bottle — photograph a single label and find out what the wine actually is FACING A SHELF 1. Tap "I'm at the store" and photograph the shelf. Several photos of the same section work best. 2. Choose what you are after: wine type, occasion, price limit 3. Get 3–6 ranked recommendations, each with the reason behind it AT THE TABLE Tap "I'm at a restaurant", photograph the wine list, and tell it what you are eating if you like. You get the wines on that list that suit you and the food, each numbered on your photo where it is listed. HOLDING ONE BOTTLE Tap "Just this one bottle", photograph the label, and get a plain-language rundown: what the wine is, what to expect in the glass, what to eat with it, how to serve it, and how well it fits your taste. Wondering something specific — whether to drink it now or keep it? Ask, and you get an answer. WHAT YOU GET • A match score for every bottle, based on your own taste profile • Estimated price, grape, region and producer • Exactly where the bottle stands, marked on your own photo — tap "Show the bottle" to zoom in on it • Every scan kept under Scans, so you can open it again later • Save the ones worth remembering — and mark the ones that are not for you, so they never come back • Saved bottles keep their tasting notes, food pairings and serving advice YOUR TASTE, PER WINE TYPE Set favourites, grapes, regions, sweetness and body separately for red, white, rosé, sparkling and orange. What you like in a Chablis never leaks into a red recommendation. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No tracking, no ads, no advertising identifiers. Your taste profile and your saved wines stay on your phone. Every install includes 100 free photos a month, and if you would rather not depend on that, you can add your own Google Gemini or OpenAI key and run scans on your own account instead. A NOTE ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS Bottles are identified by an AI model reading your photographs, and prices are estimates rather than quotes. Treat the suggestions as a knowledgeable opinion, not a guarantee — always check the actual bottle and the actual price tag before buying. WineSight is intended for users of legal drinking age. It sells nothing, is not affiliated with any shop or producer, and no recommendation is paid for.
