Standing in front of a shelf full of bottles with no idea which one to take? Photograph the label — in about ten seconds you get the rating, how it tastes, and what to eat with it. REAL RATINGS, NOT GUESSES Sommelier looks each bottle up in real wine sources on the web and shows the score it actually found. If a bottle has no public rating, we say so honestly — and still give you the taste profile from the grape, region and vintage. ONE PHOTO — WHOLE SHELF Snap an entire shelf at once. Every bottle gets recognised and ranked, and the best one is marked right on your photo, with a short reason why it's the pick. KNOW HOW IT TASTES BEFORE YOU POUR Body, tannin, acidity, sweetness — as a simple visual profile. Plus food pairings and a sommelier's note written the way you want it: plain words for beginners, terroir talk for collectors. Works for wine, whisky and other spirits. COMPARE TWO BOTTLES Ratings side by side, taste profiles overlaid, and an honest verdict on which one to open tonight. YOUR CELLAR, SEARCHABLE Save bottles you loved, keep a wishlist for bottles you'll buy later, add your own rating and notes — where you drank it, whether it's worth buying again. Search by name, region or your notes. FREE TO TRY, EVERY WEEK 5 free scans every week, no account and no card required. Sommelier Pro removes the limits: unlimited scans, whole-shelf mode and comparisons, with a free trial first. Point your camera at a label and stop second-guessing your wine.
