Glug Wine
Read full descriptionHide full description
Glug is a wine companion for people who love wine but find wine lists intimidating. Start by telling Glug what you like. A few taps on wine styles and familiar reference wines, no jargon needed. Glug turns your answers into a taste profile and a plain-English sentence that describes your palate. SCAN A WINE LIST At a restaurant, snap a photo of the wine list. Glug reads it and shows the wines that best match your taste, each with a match score, so you can order with confidence. SCAN A BOTTLE Take a photo of any label to see what is in the glass and how well it fits your palate. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DRINKING Every wine shows a simple pour profile (body, acidity, tannin, fruit and sweetness), tasting notes and food pairings. LOG WHAT YOU DRINK Rate a wine, add notes and remember where you had it. The more you log, the better Glug understands your taste. SHARE WITH FRIENDS Follow friends, see what they are drinking, and like or comment on their logs. Keep your profile public or make it private so only approved followers see your logs. Glug is for adults of legal drinking age. Please drink responsibly. Questions or feedback: support@glug-wine.com
