Quick Start Guide

Using Wine.Dine

Your AI sommelier, explained in five minutes. Pick a version, start a conversation, and get answers that actually sound like a person.

Step 1

Pick your version

Three flavors of Wine.Dine, so you can choose what fits. All three give you the same trusted AI sommelier — the differences are pricing and extras.

Step 2

Ask anything

Open the app, tap Chat, and type whatever you're wondering. The sommelier handles broad and specific questions equally well.

“What's a good red under $20 for a Tuesday night?”

“Tell me about Sancerre — what should I expect?”

“Pair a wine with mushroom risotto.”

“I'm bringing wine to a dinner party — the host is making lamb. What do I bring?”

“What's the difference between Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc?”

“Can you recommend a white wine for cooking risotto?”

Step 3 — Pro only

Snap a label or menu

Standing in a wine shop or staring at a restaurant list? With Wine.Dine Pro, tap the camera icon, take a photo of a label or wine list, and the sommelier reads it for you — tasting notes, pairings, and a verdict in seconds.

  • Works on wine bottles, restaurant menus, and printed lists
  • No typing, no spelling that obscure Italian producer
  • Ask follow-ups about the photo — “is this a good vintage?”

Step 4

Ask follow-up questions

The sommelier remembers what you've been talking about. After the first answer, drill in: “is there something drier?”, “what about a Spanish version?”, or “what would go with the dessert too?”

Treat it like a real conversation with a knowledgeable friend. The more context you give, the better the recommendation.

Tips for great answers

Be specific

“A red wine” gets a generic answer. “A medium-bodied red under $25 for grilled steak” gets a useful one.

Include the meal

Pairings depend on sauce, spice, and cooking method — not just the protein. Mention it all.

Ask for comparisons

“How does this differ from X?” teaches you the shape of a wine region faster than reading about it.
