AI wine matching · iOS beta on TestFlight · Android coming
Graipe takes the guesswork out of wine. Tell it about a glass you loved, in plain words, and it finds your next great pour. Whether you're staring down a restaurant list or a wall of labels, no expertise required.
Be first in line when Graipe launches. No spam, just one note when it's your turn.
01 · The problem
Not because you don't enjoy wine. It's because the menu reads like a foreign language and the server is on their way back. Wine doesn't have a knowledge problem. It has an intimidation problem.
Vivino and its peers hand you a crowd score and nudge you toward "better-rated" bottles. The implicit message: learn the canon, earn your taste, work your way up.
You're not intimidated by wine. You're intimidated by the performance of knowing wine: the swirl, the vocabulary, the right answer you're supposed to already have.
A half-remembered glass from a trip five years ago is a perfectly good starting point. Graipe treats what you remember as data, not a deficit to correct.
02 · How it works
Graipe opens with a question about memory, not a quiz about wine. You answer in the language of the night you drank it. We do the work of knowing what it means.
"A crisp white at a fish place, I couldn't stop drinking it." "I don't remember the wine, but I remember how I felt." A texture, a mood, a meal: any fragment is enough to start. No tasting vocabulary required.
Graipe reads your memory and hands back a profile you recognize as yourself: "You're drawn to wines that feel like a place: earthy, a little cool, not trying too hard." One quick check on anything we're unsure about, and you're set.
Point your camera at a restaurant list or a single bottle. Tell Graipe what's on the plate if you like, or that you're at home, at a shop, or hosting. Every option is ranked for your taste and the moment, each with a plain-language reason why. Ranked #1 because you like savory, cool-climate reds.
03 · The two moments
Every wine decision happens in one of two places. Most apps pick one. Graipe is built for both. It's the only app that covers the full wine decision, from the table to the shelf.
At the table
Higher stakes, less time, more intimidation. Scan the whole list and Graipe reads every wine, ranks them against your palate and what's on the plate, shows the real price behind each bottle, and tells you quietly which one to order and why. The server's coming back; you're ready.

At the shelf
More time, more exploring. Point at any bottle and ask not just "will I like this?" but "what should I try if I want something more like that thing I had last summer?" Graipe expands outward from wherever you already are. Loved a bottle out last week? Graipe knows what it runs retail and finds it for your own table.

04 · Real prices
Restaurant wine usually runs two to four times retail, and the list never says which bottle is which. Graipe estimates the retail price of every wine on the list, shows the markup per pour, glasses included, and flags the bottles punching above their price. No other wine app does this.
An example list, priced the way Graipe reads it. Retail figures are clearly labeled model estimates, shown in the list's own currency, and they work on international lists too.
Loved the $60 bottle anyway? Order it happily; Graipe never shames the splurge. It just quietly remembers that the bottle runs about $28 retail, and one tap starts the search for your own table.
The founding idea
Find the bottle that speaks in the same accent, and takes you somewhere you haven't been.
The first half is fidelity. The second half is reach. A recommendation that only reflects you back is a mirror. One that ignores what you said is a lecture. Graipe is neither. It's a guide with keys in hand.
05 · Why Graipe
Graipe doesn't have an opinion about what you should like. It has an opinion about what you will like, based entirely on what you've told it.
Say "something that tastes like a rainy Sunday" and we search on exactly that. We never launder your words into canonical wine-speak before we look.
Every wine gets a match score from 0 to 100, and every score opens into its receipt: point-by-point reasons in your own terms, citing bottles you've loved. No black boxes.
Saved wines keep the whole scene: the night, the restaurant, the meal, and how you felt. Search it the way you actually remember wine: "that bottle at Marea."
Tell Graipe what you're eating, or that you're at a shop, at home, or hosting. Picks are ranked for the plate and the occasion, not just the palate.
Dinner party mode finds the wine a whole table will love. Add your guests' broad tastes in two taps and pour the crowd-pleaser.
Chat with any scanned wine: compare two picks, check it against dinner, ask what to expect. Search works the same way: describe the craving, get the bottles.
Your palate is your autobiography, not a public feed. Graipe keeps it personal, with no scores to post and no taste to perform for strangers.
There's no graduating from Riesling to Burgundy here. No sophistication axis. Just a steady path outward from what you already love.
Plain-language setup, no wine vocabulary to learn, no test to pass. Walk in half-curious and half-terrified; walk out with a bottle you're genuinely excited about.
06 · The difference
The wine-app world is organized around the crowd score. Graipe is organized around you.
Keep using Vivino if you love it; plenty of people will keep both. Graipe is for the moment a crowd average can't help you: when you just want the next thing you'll love.
07 · FAQ
Graipe is an AI wine recommendation app for iOS and Android, now in iOS beta on TestFlight. Think of it as a personal sommelier that learns your taste from the way you already talk about wine. Describe a bottle or a moment you remember, and Graipe matches you to wines you'll love. At a restaurant, scan the wine list and every option is ranked for your palate and your plate, with the real price behind each bottle. In a shop, scan any label and see how it fits you. Join the waitlist for early access.
No, and that's the entire point. Graipe starts with a wine or a moment you remember, in your own words. There's no wine vocabulary to learn, no test to pass. If you can describe a night that had wine in it, you can use Graipe.
Vivino is built around the crowd score: scan a label, see what strangers rated it, buy the highest number. Graipe is built around you. It learns your taste from how you describe wine you've loved and ranks options for your palate, with a plain-language reason for every pick. It works on a full restaurant list, not just single bottles, and it shows the retail price and markup behind every bottle on that list, which no crowd-score app does. Many people will keep both.
Yes. Photograph the list, a chalkboard, or a shelf, and Graipe reads every wine on it, matches each one to a real bottle in its database, and ranks them all against your taste and your meal. It also estimates each bottle's retail price and shows the markup, so you can see which pours punch above their price. It handles international lists too: other languages, other currencies, same math. The restaurant table is the moment most apps ignore. It's the one Graipe is built for.
Yes. Graipe estimates the retail price of every wine on a restaurant list and shows the markup beside it, per pour, glasses included. Some bottles run double retail, others quadruple, and the list never says which is which. Graipe flags the best values, and if you want the splurge anyway, it will never talk you out of it. The point is knowing, not judging. And when you love a bottle out, one tap starts the search for it at retail, for your own table.
Not the kind you're used to. No crowd stars, no critic points, no ladder of better bottles. The only score Graipe gives a wine is a match score from 0 to 100: how well it fits your taste. And every score opens into its receipt: the point-by-point reasons, in plain language, citing bottles you've actually loved.
Yes. Scan a bottle and ask anything about it in plain words: how it compares to another pick, whether it suits what you're cooking, what to expect from the first sip. Answers are grounded in the wine in front of you and the taste profile Graipe has learned. Search works the same way: describe what you're craving and Graipe finds wines to match.
Yes. Dinner party mode is built for exactly that: one bottle, four palates. Add your guests' broad tastes in two taps and Graipe finds the crowd-pleaser, so you pour the bottle everyone remembers.
Your palate profile is personal to you. Graipe isn't a public feed. There are no scores to post and no taste to perform. Every wine you save keeps its context, the night, the restaurant, the meal, and how you felt, and it stays searchable the way you actually remember it. All of it is yours.
We're still working out pricing. Our aim is to keep Graipe accessible and genuinely worth it, and we'll share the specifics as we get closer to launch. Join the waitlist below and you'll be among the first to know when it's available on iOS and Android.
The iOS beta is live on TestFlight, and waitlist members get invites first, in small waves. Android is in development. Join the waitlist and we'll send one note when it's your turn, and nothing else.
