Overview
Wine Matcher: Scan & Pairing is an iPhone app for turning a bottle of wine into a dinner plan. You point the camera at a label, and the app uses AI to identify the wine and build a menu that matches it.
The App Store listing positions it as a dinner-planning tool rather than a wine rating or cellar app. Its main output is a course-by-course menu with paired dishes, plus a tasting profile and optional vibe cards to tailor the result to the occasion.

Dinner menu generation

Browse 20 vibe cards such as Date Night and Dinner Party to shape the menu around the occasion.
