Question 1

What is Grape Guru?

Accepted Answer

Grape Guru is a free wine app with an AI wine scanner, a digital wine cellar, food pairing recommendations, and entertaining video courses. Over 15,000 wine lovers already use the app to choose, manage, and understand wine more easily.

Question 2

How does the wine scanner work?

Accepted Answer

Simply photograph the wine label and our advanced technology identifies the wine in seconds. You'll instantly receive details about taste, origin, serving temperature, and food pairing recommendations. The scanner also works with restaurant wine lists, dishes, and entire wine shelves at the supermarket.

Question 3

Is the app free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Grape Guru app is free on the App Store and Google Play. Premium features like advanced courses and special functions can be optionally unlocked.

Question 4

What makes the wine cellar management special?

Accepted Answer

Our intelligent wine cellar management uses advanced algorithms for automatic categorization, drinking window tracking, and personalized recommendations. You can see at a glance which wine is perfectly ready to drink right now – instead of just keeping a simple list.

Question 5

Which wine goes with which food?

Accepted Answer

As a rule of thumb: the preparation matters more than the ingredient. Hearty dishes can handle bold wines, acidity in the food calls for acidity in the wine, and sweetness needs a wine that's at least as sweet. In the app, you simply photograph your dish and get a matching recommendation – even straight from your own wine cellar.

Question 6

How do I recognize a good wine?

Accepted Answer

A good wine is above all balanced: acidity, sweetness, tannins, and alcohol are in harmony, and the taste lingers noticeably after swallowing (a long finish). Price alone is no proof of quality – there are excellent wines under 10 euros, too. In our knowledge section, we explain step by step what to look for when buying and tasting.

Question 7

How do I store wine properly?

Accepted Answer

Cool (ideally 10–14 °C), dark, free of vibrations, and at a constant temperature – a cellar room or wine fridge is ideal. Bottles with natural corks should be stored lying down so the cork stays moist. The app also reminds you when each wine in your cellar reaches its optimal drinking window.

Question 8

What do dry, medium-dry, and sweet mean?

Accepted Answer

These terms describe the residual sugar content of a wine: dry wines have a maximum of 9 grams of residual sugar per liter, medium-dry up to 18 grams, and sweet up to 45 grams – anything above that counts as a fully sweet dessert-style wine. So dry doesn't mean sour or harsh – it simply means the sugar from the grapes was almost completely fermented into alcohol.

Question 9

At what temperature should you serve wine?

Accepted Answer

Light white wines and rosé at 8–10 °C, full-bodied white wines at 10–12 °C, light red wines at 14–16 °C, and full-bodied red wines at 16–18 °C. The often-quoted 'room temperature' dates back to the days of unheated rooms – modern living rooms are usually too warm for red wine.

Question 10

What's the best way to learn about wine?

Accepted Answer

Taste, compare, and stay curious – wine knowledge grows with every glass. In our free knowledge section, you'll find over 340 entries on grape varieties, wine regions, and wine terms, and in the app you can learn with short video courses from Johannes, Germany's biggest wine influencer.

Question 11

What sets Grape Guru apart from other wine apps?

Accepted Answer

Grape Guru combines everything in one app: an AI scanner for labels, wine lists, and dishes, an intelligent wine cellar with drinking window reminders, personal food pairing recommendations, and entertaining courses – completely free. Instead of just collecting ratings, the app helps you with every wine decision in everyday life.
