Winelingo
Story for serving
“This Barolo spent years in oak before it ever met a glass — decant it, and tell your table it tastes of dried rose, tar and sour cherry. That grip on your tongue? Nebbiolo’s famous tannins, softening as it breathes.”
Wine education · iPhone
Learn the wine
in your glass.
Point your camera at any label. Winelingo tells you what it is, why it tastes the way it does, and how to serve it like you’ve known it for years — then quietly learns your palate, one scan at a time.

How it works
From “no idea” to “I’ll have this one”
No wine words to memorise first. Winelingo starts with the bottle in front of you and teaches from there.
01
Point your camera
Snap a bottle label or a whole restaurant wine list. That’s the entire input — no typing, no searching.
02
Meet the wine
Get the identity, a plain-language taste profile, why it tastes that way, an honest note on the winery, and a story to tell as you pour.
03
Learn a little daily
Rate what you drink and Winelingo maps your palate. A short daily lesson and a word of the day keep the habit — and your streak — alive.
Scan a label
Every bottle becomes a wine lesson
One photo turns a label you can’t pronounce into something you understand. Winelingo identifies the wine, then explains it the way a generous friend would — no jargon, no gatekeeping.
- A taste profile in plain words — body, tannin, acidity, sweetness
- The story of why it tastes that way — grape, place, winemaking
- An honest note on the winery — no marketing gloss

Red · Bold & structuredWhy it tastes this way
“Nebbiolo grown in Piedmont’s fog gives high tannin and bright acidity; years in oak add the dried-rose and tar notes Barolo is loved for.”

Never freeze at the wine list again
Scan the whole page at a restaurant and Winelingo reads every bottle, then ranks them by the wines you’ve actually loved. You get a confident pick — and the reason behind it — before the waiter comes back.
- Reads the printed list straight from your camera
- Ranks bottles by your personal taste profile
- One clear recommendation, not a wall of names
Learn wine like a language
A daily habit, not a homework assignment
Wine is a language, and Winelingo teaches it the way the best language apps do: a little every day, building on what you tried last night. Small, warm and genuinely fun to keep up.
- A short daily lesson and a wine word of the day
- Keep your streak alive with a lesson or a tasting
- Explore grapes, regions and styles in real depth
12-day streak
Word of the day
Tannin
The drying, grippy feeling in a red — from grape skins and oak. It’s texture, not taste.

Story for serving
A read-aloud host narration for every wine — so you can pour with a little story instead of an awkward silence.
Palate Passport
A living map of what you love — the grapes, styles and regions your ratings reveal — turning scattered sips into a picture of your taste.
A journal you’ll keep
Every bottle saved with its label photo, your rating and notes — a beautiful record of what you drank, and recommendations that get sharper over time.
The language of wine
“Every bottle has a story. Winelingo helps you read it.”
Point your camera and the wine in your glass starts to make sense — the grape, the place, and why it tastes the way it does.
Learn wine in your language

Questions
Good to know
Is Winelingo free?
Yes. Winelingo launches completely free, with no in-app purchases — you get the full experience at launch. (We may add optional extras down the road, but the launch app is free to use.)
What is Winelingo?
Winelingo is a free app to learn about wine on your iPhone. Scan any wine label and it explains the bottle in plain English — body, tannin, acidity and sweetness — and builds your palate profile as you go. It speaks English, Danish, Spanish and German.
When can I get it?
Winelingo is coming to the App Store very soon. Join the waitlist above and we’ll email you the moment it’s available to download — that’s the fastest way to hear.
Which devices does it work on?
Winelingo is an iPhone app at launch. You’ll point your iPhone camera at a label or wine list to scan it.
What languages does it support?
English, Danish, Spanish and German — with the same warm, plain-language teaching in each.
Do I need an account?
Yes — your tasting journal and palate profile are personal to you, so Winelingo asks you to create an account to keep them safe and in sync. You can delete your account and all its data at any time, right inside the app.
What happens to the photos I scan?
A label or wine-list photo is processed to identify the wine and return your result — it isn’t kept as a long-term gallery, and it’s never used to build an advertising profile. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
