Winelingo
01 · Learn
Five minutes before service
178 short, interactive lessons in 27 units, from glasses and temperature to grapes, regions and wine at the table.
Winelingo for restaurants
Waiters who sell wine with confidence.
Training built on your own wine list. Your team learns to describe, recommend and serve every bottle you pour, on their own phones, a few minutes before service.
Two weeks ago, she’d have said “the house red is nice.”
Before service, she learns tonight’s wine list.
Your wine list
Training built on your list.
We turn your wine list into a staff test: ten questions the way guests ask them, each pointing to a bottle you actually pour.
01 / 03
At the table
The words that sell the bottle.
Short lessons on grapes, regions and service, so the team can say why a wine fits, not just pour it.
02 / 03
The team
A league that keeps them at it.
A weekly league for the whole team. A few minutes a day, and nobody wants to finish last.
03 / 03
For restaurants, wine bars and hotels
Every table, served with confidence.
Every waiter gets the app on their own phone. You get training built on your wine list and a weekly league. New partners start with a free trial period.

Why it matters
The guest asks. Can your team answer?
Wine sells best when the person at the table can talk about it. But teams change every season, there is no sommelier on every shift, and training has to fit between services.
New faces every season
Seasonal and part-time staff start on a Friday. With Winelingo they can begin on the basics from day one, on their own phone.
No sommelier on every shift
The app explains any bottle on your shelf in plain words: how it tastes, its story, what to eat with it and how to serve it.
Training between services
A lesson takes about five minutes. No classroom, no binder, no course day to book.
What your team gets

Made for you
03 · Your own list
Built on your bottles
We build a staff test from your wine list, with your wines and your prices. Staff open it on their phone, with no login.
04 · Know the bottle
Know every bottle on the shelf
Scan a label to get the story, how it tastes, what to eat with it and how to serve it.
05 · Taste together
A blind tasting for the briefing
Everyone writes notes on their own phone. Then you reveal the wine and see who had the sharpest palate.
06 · Weekly league
The team competes
XP for lessons and tastings, and a new winner every week. Colleagues add each other as friends and race for the top.

Questions
Good to know
What does it cost?
It depends on the size of your team. New partners start with a free trial period, so the team can try Winelingo before you decide anything. Write to us and we’ll make you an offer.
Which phones does it work on?
Winelingo is an iPhone app, and the whole course also runs in the browser, so staff with an Android phone or a computer can take it too, on the same account. The staff tests and your house test are web pages as well. Open the course in your browser
Can you tailor it to our wine list?
Yes. We build a staff test from your list: ten questions the way guests ask them, each pointing to a bottle you actually pour. It lives on its own web page, which is not listed on Google.
Is staff data private?
Each person has their own account, and their tasting journal is theirs. As the employer you don’t get access to anyone’s account. Read more in our Privacy Policy.
