The sommelier
who learns.
Wine is personal. It should feel that way.
Wine has always been the territory of experts — critics, stewards, sommeliers with answers to questions you didn't know to ask. That's fine, if you happen to know a sommelier. Most of us don't. So we point at a bottle we've heard of, or the second-cheapest one on the list, and hope we guessed right. Sommvi exists because wine shouldn't feel like a test. It should feel like yours.
We built Sommvi on a simple idea: your palate is unique, it's knowable, and once it's known, the whole world of wine opens up. No more guessing. No more bluffing. Just bottles that taste the way you want them to — and the confidence to try one you've never heard of.
Six axes. A thousand shades of you.
Every Sommvi palate sits on six axes — bold, tannic, earthy, fruit, acidic, floral — each tuned from your actual preferences, not a personality quiz. The first time you use the app, we ask a few questions. From then on, every wine you try refines the shape of your palate. Over weeks, it stops guessing. Over months, it starts knowing.
Sommvi doesn't push you toward the popular bottle. It pushes you toward your bottle — the one you'll finish without checking the label, then open again a week later.
A conversation, not a catalogue.
Most wine apps hand you a list. Sommvi hands you a person. Ask "something bright for Tuesday night," and you'll get a recommendation with a reason — not a filter UI.
Under the hood, Sommvi runs on a conversational AI trained to think like a sommelier: it remembers what you've had, what you liked, what you're cooking, and what the weather's doing. Then it pours into the conversation exactly what a good sommelier would.
We know your palate
better than you do — and
we make wine feel like yours.
Built like a printed page.
Sommvi takes its design language from the things we love: the editorial rigour of Noble Rot, the restraint of Aesop, the quiet luxury of a vintage Bordeaux label. Every screen in the app is set in Fraunces and DM Sans, spaced on a four-pixel grid, and proofed like a magazine spread. This is not a dashboard. It's a printed page that happens to live in your pocket.
We believe software can feel like a thing you'd want to keep on a shelf. Sommvi is our attempt at that thing.
