Which Wine is the wine scanner and sommelier AI that tells you which bottle to pick, at the restaurant or in the wine shop. Snap a wine label, a shelf of bottles or any restaurant wine list and get your top picks in seconds, matched to your personal taste, your budget and what you're eating. No more guessing, no more awkward questions to the waiter. WINE LIST SCANNER FOR RESTAURANTS The wine list is two pages long and the waiter is on the way back. Take one photo of the menu and Which Wine reads every wine on it, then gives you your top 3: · Best for you: the strongest match for your palate, with a match score · Safe bet: a crowd-pleaser you can't go wrong with · Something new: a fresh pick that still fits your taste See every wine on the list, ranked for you, and order with confidence. WINE LABEL SCANNER FOR SHOPS Standing in front of the shelf? Take one photo of the whole shelf, or one per bottle. The wine identifier (wine ID in one tap) reads each label, compares up to 3 bottles side by side and tells you which one to take, with the price and the reasons. ANY WINE LIST, ANY LANGUAGE Dining abroad? The wine scanner reads wine menus in any language, from Paris to Tokyo. No menu at hand? Just type the wine name. KNOW WHY EVERY WINE FITS YOU Every wine recommendation comes with a match rating and plain-language tasting notes: body, acidity and sweetness, how it compares to wines you loved, the value on that list, and what it's best with. WINE PAIRING FOR EVERY DISH Tell Which Wine what you're eating, from steak and fish to pasta, cheese or pizza, and every pick adapts to the dish. Each wine shows food pairing ideas, so you always know what goes with it. A TASTE PROFILE THAT LEARNS Rate what you drink with one tap: loved it, it was OK or not for me. Which Wine maps your sweet spot, learns the grapes, styles and regions you like, and every new pick gets sharper. YOUR WINE JOURNAL & TRACKER Track every wine you picked, tasted or saved, with where you had it. Filter by loved, saved or still to rate, and never forget that great bottle from last month's dinner. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED No sign-up, no email. Open the app and scan. FREE & PRO Start free. Upgrade to Which Wine Pro for unlimited scans and a detailed taste profile breakdown for every wine.
