Wine information
Three of the AI tools work on wine lists, and together they cover the whole lifecycle: creating a wine, completing many wines, and reading a wine list from paper.
The three tools
| Tool | Menu entry | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| AI wine database | Add new from search | You are adding one wine and want its record filled |
| AI wine content enhancer | Fill in your wine details with AI | You have wines with names and prices and nothing else |
| AI wine list generator | Bulk add wines from Excel or photo | Your list exists only on paper |
Each is enabled separately under Enabled tools.
What they fill
All three work on the same set of wine information:
- description;
- region, winery, grape;
- wine type and ageing classification;
- vintage;
- tasting notes — visual, nose, palate, structure, finish, terroir, vinification, how to serve;
- characteristics — body, acidity, sweetness, tannins, fruitiness, aromatic intensity, alcohol, finish, minerality, complexity;
- pairing and alcohol content;
- the market price references.
What they never fill
Your sale prices. Glass, bottle, Magnum and Benjamin prices are commercial decisions and stay yours.
The market references — supermarket price, and minimum, average and maximum restaurant price — are internal guidance to help you set them. They are not shown to guests.
Searching one wine
From Add new from search: type the wine name, search, choose the matching result, and create or update the record.
From an existing wine's edit screen, the same search fills only the fields that are still empty, leaving anything you curated by hand alone. That makes it safe to run on a record you have already worked on.
If nothing is found, the tool offers to send the reference for processing. Meanwhile, create the wine by hand — a name, a category, a vintage and a price is already sellable.
Filling many wines
From Fill in your wine details with AI: analyze, select the wines to process, run, review the batch on screen, and save.
Nothing is written until you save, which is what makes a batch tool acceptable on a wine list.
Process twenty to fifty at a time. A four-hundred-wine run produces a review nobody completes.
Identification is the whole game
Every one of these tools depends on identifying the right bottle. Check against the physical bottle:
- the producer;
- the exact cuvée;
- the vintage;
- the region.
A confident, well-written record for the wrong wine is worse than an empty one, because nothing about it looks wrong.
Keep vintages out of titles
The single most useful convention. It makes identification more reliable, keeps bulk matching working, and turns a new vintage into a field change rather than a rename.
The tools reinforce it: the title column is labelled Wine name (no vintage).
Wines these tools struggle with
- Very small producers with no published information.
- House wines and private labels.
- Generic names shared by several producers.
- Titles containing vintages, formats or tasting notes.
For those, the manual request option and hand entry are the realistic routes.
