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

Common questions
Do I need to connect Wineater to my till or POS?
No. The staff tool runs in a browser on any tablet or phone and does not connect to your till. It recommends wines from your list; it has no tables, orders, cart or payment.
What if my wine list changes?
Send us the new list and we reload it, or change wines in the admin. Your wine list stays yours, and you can change which wines are promoted at any time.
Does Wineater replace my sommelier?
No. It backs up your team when the room is full and gives a new waiter a starting point. It suggests wines from your own list; your sommelier still knows your guests and your cellar.
Which languages does Wineater support?
Recommendations and their explanations are written in the language set for each store, and the widget interface has translations in several languages, including English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese. The language comes from the store's configuration, not from the shopper's request. Wine names stay as they appear in your catalog. Tell us which language you need when you contact us.
Which tablet do I need?
Any tablet or phone with a web browser. There is nothing to install: your staff open a link.
