inVoak — Your Personal Wine Companion inVoak is an all-in-one wine companion that learns your taste and puts it to work in the moment wine decisions happen — in the aisle, at the table, or picking a gift. It acts as your wine memory, cellar management, tasting guide, and anything you want to know about wine. With detailed information on wine and producers across the world, use it for anything from planning a trip to scanning a menu in a restaurant. If you love wine, inVoak is for you. How it works: It starts with your Palate Profile. A short 30-second survey helps inVoak learn your tastes. Then as you use the app rate each wine you try. Unlike other apps that show other user ratings, inVoak learns your taste from your ratings and gets better and better at finding a wine that you'll love. Camera-first discovery. Point your camera at a wine label, a restaurant menu page, or an entire shelf, and get instant recommendations ranked against your personal profile. Each pick comes with a match score, a plain-English explanation of why it suits you, key tasting notes, and price context. An AI sommelier you can freely chat with. Ask context-specific questions the way you'd ask a friend who happens to be a wine expert: "What should I order with steak tonight?", "Gift for someone who loves Pinot Noir, budget $40", or even "Help me plan a tasting trip to the Napa Valley that I will love". The sommelier draws on your personal profile and real-time wine data to answer with specific bottles, not generic advice. The journal is your wine memory. Each wine you try or scan is logged to the journal, making it easy to look back and remember what you had. It has your ratings, structured or freeform tasting notes, the occasion, location, and food pairing. Your journal becomes a searchable record of your wine history. Effortless cellar organization. Track the bottles you own with label scans, rack scans, or manual entry — vintage, quantity, purchase date, price, and notes. Non-vintage wines are fully supported. Ask it to recommend wines that are at peak maturity, or just pick out a wine for dinner. Wine is social. Connect with friends to share taste profiles and journals. A Discovery Feed surfaces wines your friends rated highly, filtered through your own palate, and a Palate Match Score shows how compatible your tastes are. Virtually cheer your friends as they enjoy a glass. The Gift Sommelier. inVoak takes the guesswork out of giving wine. Pick a friend, set a budget and occasion, and the AI generates gift recommendations based on their palate profile. Never wonder again if your host will like that dinner party gift. Start free. The free tier includes most of the features of the app with some monthly limits to label and menu scans, chat, and cellar management. Premium unlocks multiple cellars, hundreds of scans and thousands of chats, advanced palate analytics, our smartest AI sommelier, full journal history, and priority scans and our fastest most reliable service. inVoak is for the casual drinker who wants to drink better as well as the connoisseur — no spreadsheets, no point-score snobbery, just the right bottle for you, at the right price.
