About Vinster
Never feel lost in front of a wine list again. Vinster is your personal AI sommelier — and it begins the moment you sit down to dinner. It starts with the list. Point your phone at any restaurant's wine list and Vinster reads it in seconds, then offers it's top three wine selections based on your taste and your budget — each with a clear reason why. Choose one and it becomes a Bottle Pick, saved to the night and the restaurant where you found it. Over time, Your Restaurants grows into a personal map of where you've dined and what you drank, complete with your own ratings and reviews. Next is your wines at home. Add any bottle to your cellar in-app cellar and Vinster brings it to life — capture the label and it appears as a thumbnail on your live racks and fridges, so your collection looks as good as it tastes. Every bottle has it's own AI generated wine intel card including its estimated value, critic scores, and drinking window, so you always know what's ready to open at its best. Your Label Library keeps every label you've scanned in one beautiful gallery — a visual diary of your wine journey. The more you pour and collect, the better Vinster knows you. Every wine you pick, rate and cellar feeds your personal wine and food personality sketches — a living portrait of your palate that grows sharper with every glass. Personality sketches are witty, intelligent, original insights into your wine and foodie alter-egos which can be shared with friends. Vinster doesn't stop at wine, because what would wine be without food? It's a culinary journey too. Tell Vinster what you're cooking and Chef pairs the perfect wine to the dish — drawing first from the bottles already in your cellar, then from the wider world, always at the price you want to spend. Chosen your bottle first? Open with a bottle in mind and Chef builds the meal around it based on your dietary requirements, preferences, and even the size of your party. Capture every moment, effortlessly. Dictate your tasting notes by voice the instant you taste them — no typing — and build a personal tasting diary, wine by wine. Keep your reviews private, or share them with the Vinster community to discover what other wine lovers are drinking, and where. From the first scan of a wine list to the last note of a great bottle, Vinster connects every part of your vinous life - restaurant, cellar, kitchen and palate- into one effortless flow. No jargon. No snobbery. Just informed choices, made for you. Pour with confidence. Cheers.
What’s new
Version 1.4.6 · Updated September 10, 2026
Your Wines at Home is more flexible: move any bottle freely between racks, fridges, bins and alt cellars, and place bottles one slot at a time with clearer prompts. Diamond bins redesigned — cleaner wine cards, an estimated purchase price when you add a bottle, and long-press a label to view or change its photo. Voice Command is smarter: ask for a recommendation however you like, edit what Vinster hears, and it now understands wine terms (no more "seller" for "cellar"). More honest pricing: rare and allocated wines are flagged when there's no reliable market data, with a more realistic estimate. The Inside Line now appears on every wine, and recipe pairings note each chef's cuisine with one-tap saving to your Cookbook. Plus lots of small design refinements across the app.
