Choosing the right wine shouldn't feel like guesswork. Whether you're dining out, shopping for wine, or hosting friends, Swirl transforms wine selection from an intimidating experience into confident, personalized discovery.
The wine selection problem we solve
Most wine lovers face the same frustrations: defaulting to "red or white," choosing the second-cheapest option on restaurant menus, or relying on someone else's recommendations that don't match your taste. These common scenarios limit your wine experience and prevent you from discovering what you truly enjoy.
Swirl changes this by putting personalized wine knowledge directly in your hands.
How Swirl works for you

Simply photograph any wine list or selection, and Swirl immediately analyzes your options. Our advanced technology recognizes wines and provides personalized recommendations from what's actually availableβno more staring at unfamiliar menus feeling lost.
Personalized taste matching
Swirl creates your unique taste profile by understanding your preferences for:
Flavor intensity (subtle to bold)
Body and structure preferences
Sweetness and acidity balance
Tannin sensitivity
This ensures every recommendation matches wines you'll genuinely enjoy, not just statistically popular choices.
Smart filtering system
Refine your search using multiple filters simultaneouslyβbody, flavor intensity, sweetness, and more. Find exactly what you're looking for whether you're at a restaurant, wine shop, or planning purchases.
