Wine Matcher
AI sommelier for full dinner recipes, not just wine notes
Most wine apps work backwards: pick a dish, get a wine. Wine Matcher flips that. Scan any wine label and get an instant breakdown of what you're drinking (grape, region, tasting notes) in plain English, no wine-snob jargon. Then get a full course menu built around that exact bottle, appetizer to dessert, with real recipes. No wine on hand? Swipe through occasion-based pairings (date night, movie night, having people over) instead. Your pocket sommelier and menu planner, in one scan.
Hey hunters 👋,
Yes, back again. This is becoming a habit after Walkable, Toxic Flamingo, and VoxUp.
Quick story on this one. My girlfriend and I love wine and cooking together, and we always did it the normal way: pick a dish first, then grab a wine to match it. One day she came back from a trip to France with a really nice bottle, and for once we had zero idea what to actually cook with it.
So I went looking for an app that answers "what food goes with this wine" and realized literally every wine app does it backwards, they start from the food and work toward the wine. Nobody built it the other way.
That's Wine Matcher. Scan the bottle, get a full course menu built around it, recipes included. No wine yet? Swipe through occasion-based pairings instead (date night, movie night, having people over) and get both the wine and the menu at once.
My girlfriend and I go grocery shopping differently now, we grab the wine first and let the app tell us what to cook.
To celebrate the launch, the first 500 people who grab the app from here get a free 1-week trial 🍷

Would love to hear what you think, cheers.
Finally an app that scans the bottle I already opened instead of making me hunt down the perfect pairing first. Tasting note read on a random Malbec was shockingly accurate and the dessert pairing actually sounded edible.
how well does the label scanner handle obscure or older bottles where the label is worn or hard to read
Congrats on the launch @metehan_caliskan@ekimcem@kofber ! "Grab the wine first, let the app tell us what to cook" is a whole new grocery shopping personality.
flipping the direction is such an obvious idea in hindsight but I've genuinely never seen an app do it this way. everyone assumes you start from the dish. the "bring back a bottle from a trip and have no idea what to cook" scenario is very real and specific, feels like it came from an actual annoying evening rather than a feature brainstorm. does the recipe generation account for what's realistically in a normal kitchen, or does it sometimes suggest ingredients that are a whole grocery trip on their own
Huge congrats🙌 for shipping today @metehan_caliskan this is the kind of app that actually changes how you spend your saturday evening.
