SommelierX is the next generation of WineStein. It was built over 17 years with scientists and sommeliers. During the WineStein era, more than 500,000 people used it, and it ran in 400+ stores and restaurants. Any dish. Any wine. One calculated match. SNAP YOUR PLATE, POUR THE WINE Photograph your dish and instantly see which wine fits, and why. Rather type or speak? That works too. From stew to sushi, you get matching wine styles, each with a score. CALCULATED, NOT GUESSED Sommeliers scored 609 wine styles on 19 taste dimensions, such as body, acidity, tannin and sweetness. SommelierX sets them against 17 dimensions of your dish and calculates what fits. You see the full Wine DNA and Dish DNA. No stars from strangers, just the reason behind every match. DINING OUT Scan the wine list at the restaurant. You see the best wine on the list for each dish. WORKS BOTH WAYS Got a bottle? Scan the label or search for the wine. You see which dishes go with it. It works with any wine you can scan. YOUR CELLAR, ALWAYS AT HAND Keep track of your bottles and add one with a photo of the label. Your cellar weighs in on every recommendation. STRAIGHT TO YOUR DOOR See where a matching bottle is for sale, right next to your recommendation, and filter by price. This works in countries with a connected web shop. DINNER PARTY Add everyone's dish. SommelierX looks for one wine that suits them all. If none does, you pick two. ASK SOMMY A sommelier in your pocket. Ask any wine question in plain language. FREE AND PREMIUM SommelierX is free to use: 10 recommendations a month, with all matching wine styles, complete with score, full Wine DNA, full Dish DNA and filters for colour, region, country and where to buy. You also get a cellar for up to 10 wines and 3 Sommy messages a day. Premium adds unlimited Sommy, your full wine cellar without a bottle cap (with one-step import from Excel, CSV, PDF or a photo, estimated cellar value and the filter on your own cellar), unlimited recommendations and your full recommendation historyβand supports an independent, advertising-free product. New subscribers can try Premium free for 14 days; after that the subscription continues at the price shown before you subscribe, and you can cancel anytime. You do not need to know wine. Just bring the plate or the bottle. SommelierX calculates the rest.
