SommelierX vs Sommate

SommelierX is the new generation of WineStein, the pairing system built over 17 years with scientists and sommeliers, used by 500,000 people and in 400+ shops and restaurants. Any dish. Any wine. One calculated match. Start with tonight's plate—or the bottle already on your table. Describe a dish in your own words, photograph it, build it from ingredients, search for a wine or scan its label. SommelierX translates what you have into taste and calculates what belongs with it. No popularity contest. No random review score. A clear recommendation, a match score and an explanation you can actually use. START FROM EITHER SIDE • Describe any dish in your own words • Photograph a plate and let SommelierX recognise it • Build any dish from ingredients and cooking method • Search for a wine or scan its label • Reverse the pairing: start with a bottle and find the food • Find one wine for different dishes around the same table SEE WHY IT WORKS Every recommendation is based on Wine DNA. Professional sommeliers scored 609 foundational wine styles across 19 wine dimensions, including body, acidity, tannin, sweetness, aroma intensity and minerality. SommelierX compares those profiles with 17 dish dimensions and calculates which wine styles belong with your dish. The result is explainable. You see which characteristics connect the food and wine—not just whether strangers liked the bottle. BUILT FOR REAL EVENINGS • Pair food and wine in a few taps • Scan a restaurant wine list • Ask Sommy a wine question in plain language • Save bottles in your Wine Cellar • Keep tasting notes, favourites and pairing history • Discover wines by colour, taste or occasion • Use group and occasion pairing for the whole table 17 YEARS OF PAIRING EXPERTISE SommelierX is the next generation of WineStein: a pairing engine developed over 17 years with scientists and professional sommeliers.
