Using Wine.Dine

Step 1
Pick your version

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.
