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.

I have a party with a bunch of wine geeks and want to surprise them. But something local please...
A real request. Typed by a shopper.

How the recommendation works

Four things every shopper gets, whether your shop lists thirty wines or thousands.

Intermarché wine widget. A shopper typed a Spanish request for a red wine to go with roast lamb. Four red wines from the shop are shown with prices and French labels.

Shoppers type in any language

This shopper wrote in Spanish on a French shop. Wineater understood the request and answered with the shop's own wines, described in the shop's language.

Live on Intermarché

Brice & Burnett wine widget. After a German request for a strong red wine for a braai, hovering over a wine card shows why it was picked: exceptional value, dark berry fruit and spice that suit grilled food.

Every wine comes with its reason

Each of the four picks has a one- or two-sentence explanation written for that request. On desktop it appears when the shopper hovers over the card.

Live on Brice & Burnett

Brice & Burnett wine widget after clicking Similar wines on a Bordeaux red. The search box shows the reference wine and four similar red wines are listed with prices.

Similar wines in one click

Every wine card has a Similar wines button. It returns four more wines close in taste and food pairing, taken from the same catalog.

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?

Typically about 1 hour for a QR code, about 1 day for the website widget and about 1 week for an API integration. The Wineater team configures your catalog, usually within 24 hours of receiving it. Actual timing depends on the state of your catalog and on your own website team.
