AI wine matching · iOS & Android · Coming soon
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. Graipe reads every option and ranks them against your taste, 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 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.

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.
04 · 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.
No black-box scores. Every pick comes with a reason in your own terms, so you know why it fits and can trust it.
Not a star rating, but the night, the meal, the feeling. Your tasting memories build a palate profile that's truly yours, and gets sharper over time.
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 quiz to study for. Walk in half-curious and half-terrified; walk out with a bottle you're genuinely excited about.
05 · 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.
06 · FAQ
No, and that's the entire point. Graipe starts with a wine or a moment you remember, in your own words. There's no quiz to study for and no tasting vocabulary to learn. 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 also works on a full restaurant list, not just single bottles. 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. The restaurant table is the moment most apps ignore. It's the one Graipe is built for.
No, and it never will. Points-based scores orient you toward a ladder of "better" wines you're supposed to climb toward. Graipe captures what you actually experienced instead, and uses it to find your next favorite. There's no graduation. Just expansion outward from what you love.
Your palate profile is personal to you. Graipe isn't a public feed. There are no scores to post and no taste to perform. The record of what you've tasted and what it meant to you stays yours.
