See it in action: try it yourself

This demo runs on a sample wine shop, not on your catalog, so the wines, prices and interface language are not yours. Describe a meal or an occasion and see how the sommelier answers.

One sommelier, four ways to use it

How Wineater thinks

Every request is read on five axes and matched against every wine you stock.

  • FoodThe dish, the cooking, the sauce.
  • TasteBody, acidity, sweetness, style.
  • OriginCountry, region, appellation.
  • OccasionA dinner, a gift, a party.
  • How it's madeNatural, organic, aged.

Then four bottles are chosen for the kind of buyer who asked: a safe pick for a novice, a discovery for a geek.

  • Only wines from your own catalog
  • A moderate boost for the products you promote
  • Answers in the shop's language

A word from the founder

Wine should be easy to buy and fun to explore, not an exam. Younger shoppers want to say what they feel like drinking, in their own words, and get a straight answer. Wineater gives your own bottles that conversation, so a new generation finds your wines, trusts your shelf and comes back.

Common questions

See all questions
What is Wineater?

Wineater is an AI sommelier for wine shops, online wine retailers, bars and restaurants. A shopper describes in their own words what they are looking for, for example "something for steak, under 30" or "a Barolo, but cheaper", and Wineater returns four wines from that merchant's own catalog, each with a short explanation of why it fits. A merchant adds it as a website widget, a QR code or an API.

How is Wineater different from a generic ChatGPT wine bot?

A general-purpose chatbot answers from broad knowledge and can name bottles a shop does not sell. Wineater recommends only wines that are in the merchant's own catalog and not marked out of stock, so every suggestion links to something the shopper can buy from that shop. Each wine is also described on five aspects (food pairing, taste, origin, occasion, production), which the request is matched against. General chatbots stay useful for open-ended wine questions; Wineater is narrower by design.

Does Wineater recommend only wines I sell?

Yes. Recommendations come only from the catalog of the shop that uses the widget, and the shop is identified by its client token, not by anything the shopper types. Wines marked as out of stock are hidden. Wineater does not draw on the open internet or on other merchants' catalogs when it recommends.

How fast can I go live?

About 5 minutes to see your own wines. You sign up with your shop name, type and website, then give Wineater your website, a CSV or Excel file or a product feed. It tastes 50 of your wines and builds a demo page and a QR code on your own wines within a few minutes. When you start the free month, you import the whole catalog with one button, and the widget snippet is waiting in your cabinet; adding it to your site usually takes a few minutes. An API integration takes longer, and the real timing depends on your catalog and on your own website team. If you prefer, the Wineater team configures your catalog, usually within 24 hours of receiving it.
