Wine cellar & tasting app

Your wine cellar, your pocket sommelier.

CAVE learns your palate in five tastings. Then, at the restaurant, in the shop or in front of your cellar, it chooses for you — and tells you why.

CAVE screenshot (French interface): the “My cellar” screen — 33 bottles, 12 wines, and this year’s radar: one to drink urgently, five at their peak.

It will never tell you “they’re both good”. It chooses — and tells you why.

Three moments

Where you hesitate, it decides.

Not a feature list: three situations every wine lover knows.

I. At the restaurant

The list runs four pages. Take a photo.

CAVE reads the wine list, describes each wine in a few words, then ranks the ones that suit you. The first one gets a star: that is the one it would pour for you.

Every wine decoded: appellation, region, aromas
Ranked by your palate, not by price
A step off the beaten path, when it’s worth it

Wine list scanner

You always order Bordeaux. Tonight, trust me: take this Loire.

Your sommelier

II. In the shop

Forty bottles, no idea. Snap the shelf.

In a supermarket or at a wine shop, one photo of the shelf is enough: CAVE spots the bottles, compares them to your taste and points to the right one. Often, it isn’t the most expensive.

The whole shelf, read in one photo
A label or a barcode: the details fill themselves in
The price next to every recommendation

Label and shelf scanner

The €15 one will beat the €30 one tonight. Take it.

III. At home

Which bottle should I open tonight?

Every bottle in your cellar gets its drinking window, based on appellation and vintage. CAVE shows you when a wine reaches its peak — and suggests the one to open tonight.

Cellar and drinking windows

CAVE screenshot (French interface): a Château Margaux 2015, rated 98/100, two bottles in the cellar, with its drinking window — “keep” in 2026.

The taste profile

Ranked for you, not for the average.

An average rating tells you what everyone likes. CAVE learns what you like — and that palate decides everything else.

The difference

A sommelier, not a salesman.

What CAVE does differently from rating apps.

Your palate, not an average

Wines are ranked by your taste profile, learned in five tastings — not by the rating of thousands of strangers.

A choice, not a list

In front of a wine list or a shelf, it points to one bottle and says why, in one sentence.

Real tasting, not a star

Eye, nose, palate, aroma wheel, a score out of 20: a real notebook that remembers everything.

Your friends, your places

Compared tastings on the same wine, and a map of your favourite places to share.

No bottle to sell

No shop, no commission. When the cheaper one is better, it tells you.

Questions

What people ask us

What is CAVE?

CAVE is a wine cellar and tasting app, in English and French, for iPhone, Android and the web. It manages your cellar (bottles, vintages, drinking windows), reads labels, wine lists and shop shelves from a photo, guides your tastings and learns your taste profile to rank wines by your own palate. An AI sommelier answers your questions and suggests food and wine pairings. It is published by Tech in Touch, in Paris.

How much does CAVE cost?

30 days free, then €69.99 a year. One single price for the whole app; there is no limited free version. A card is required when you sign up, and you can cancel at any time.

How is CAVE different from Vivino?

Vivino is built first on its community’s ratings, and it sells wine. CAVE is a personal sommelier: it learns your palate through guided tasting and helps you choose the bottle — on a restaurant list, on a shop shelf or in your cellar — by your taste, not an average rating. And it is made to share with friends: compared tastings on the same wine, and a map of your favourite places (wine shops, wine bars, estates, restaurants) that you share with them. CAVE sells no wine at all.

Which devices does CAVE work on?

iPhone, Android and any web browser. One account, one subscription: your cellar follows you everywhere.

Do I need to know about wine?

No. Guided tasting walks you through step by step, every term has a plain definition, and the sommelier will never make you feel out of your depth. Collectors get cellar management and drinking windows; the curious learn at their own pace.

Does CAVE sell wine?

No. No sales, no delivery, no commission on any bottle. That is what keeps its advice honest: when the €15 bottle will beat the €30 one tonight, it tells you so.
