On every dish page, sommelier advice explains the type of pairing sought, then lists wines from your menu, one per style, with the reason for each choice. In the conversation, “which wine goes with this dish?” gets the same answer. The pairing printed on your menu always comes first.
The AI sommelier never lists a wine that is not on your menu. If your menu already prints a recommendation below a dish (“Recommended wine: …”), it is recognised, shown first and linked to the bottle in your cellar.
When the menu says nothing, the engine selects from your cellar based on the structure of the dish and of each wine.
Colour, grapes (those written on the menu, otherwise inferred from the appellation), structure, alcohol content, serving formats (glass, bottle) and calories per glass. The wine menu keeps its original organisation (by region, by colour, by the glass or by the bottle) and can also be presented in a structured format.
A wine's grapes are never invented: when the menu does not name them and the appellation does not require them, the page leaves them out.
Classic drinks are described using a verified reference: IBA cocktails (negroni, spritz, mojito, old fashioned…), aniseed aperitifs, kirs, mulled wine, Irish coffee, juices and waters. Each is assigned its format, calories and alcohol content as served. Beers are grouped as draught and bottled, with their formats.
For a guest who does not drink alcohol, pairing is based on drink class: a bitter or tonic, sparkling water, iced tea or freshly squeezed juice depending on the dish — always from what you serve.
