# Vinoperte — AI Wine Recommendations from Restaurant Menus

> Vinoperte is an AI-powered wine recommendation app for the dining-out moment. Users photograph a restaurant wine list, wine bar menu, or retail wine shelf, and Vinoperte reads every wine on the page and ranks them against the user's personal taste profile. Available free on iOS and Android. Works in 40+ countries and reads wine names in dozens of languages.

Vinoperte is built for the exact moment most people get stuck: standing in front of an unfamiliar wine list with no idea what to order. Rather than searching one bottle at a time or relying on crowd-averaged ratings, Vinoperte reads the entire menu with computer vision and ranks every option against the individual user's taste profile. The name "Vinoperte" is Italian for "wine for you." The company was founded by Emily Buckley after a trip to Venice and is headquartered in New York City.

## What Vinoperte Does

- **Scans full wine menus, not just bottle labels.** A photo of a printed wine list, chalkboard menu, or shop shelf returns a ranked list of recommendations within seconds.
- **Personalizes by taste profile, not crowd ratings.** Users complete a 60-second onboarding (light vs. bold, crisp vs. smooth, fruity vs. earthy, etc.). Recommendations are scored against that individual profile.
- **Works internationally.** Reads wine names in Italian, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, and dozens of other languages — designed for travel and dining out abroad.
- **Learns over time.** Saving, skipping, and rating wines refines the model for that user.
- **Privacy-first.** Taste profile and saved wines are stored locally on-device by default. Vinoperte does not sell user data.

## How It Works (Three Steps)

1. **Set your taste profile.** Five plain-language questions, no wine vocabulary required. Takes about 60 seconds.
2. **Scan a wine list.** Open the camera in the app, photograph any menu, list, or shelf.
3. **Order with confidence.** Get a ranked list of wines from that menu, matched to your taste, with the best fits at the top.
