SommelierX

SommelierX by WineStein calculates which wine fits the dish on your table, from taste rather than from reviews or ratings.

Ratings tell you what other people liked about a bottle. SommelierX starts from what you are eating: describe or photograph any dish, build it from ingredients, or start with a bottle and find the food. You get a ranked recommendation with a match score and the reason it works.

It is the new generation of WineStein, a wine-pairing system built over 17 years with scientists and professional sommeliers. In its historical WineStein era the system calculated more than 8 million pairings, reached more than 500,000 users and was deployed in 400+ stores and restaurants.

How it works: professional sommeliers scored 609 wine styles across 19 wine dimensions. SommelierX compares those profiles with 17 dish dimensions and shows which characteristics connect the food and the wine. Guest, Free and Premium users see the same complete Wine DNA and Dish DNA.

Ways to start:

• describe or photograph any dish
• build a dish from ingredients and cooking method
• search a wine or scan its label
• reverse the pairing: start with the bottle and find the food
• find one wine for different dishes around the same table

Also includes a restaurant wine-list scan, Sommy (ask a wine question in plain language), a personal wine cellar, tasting notes and pairing history.

Free to use: 10 pairings a month, each with the best wine and two alternatives, complete with score and explanation. Premium opens every matching wine style with a country and cellar filter, unlimited pairings, an unlimited cellar you can import from Excel, CSV, PDF or a photo, unlimited Sommy questions, tasting notes, wine-list analyses and your full history. No advertising.
