Frequently Asked Questions

What is CorkAI?

CorkAI is a personal AI sommelier. It learns your taste through the CorkType quiz, then recommends wines, builds food pairings, scans wine labels with your phone camera, and manages your cellar — all matched to your personal taste profile.

How do the AI wine recommendations work?

Your CorkType quiz answers build a taste profile across acidity, body, sweetness, tannin, and adventurousness. Every recommendation — marketplace picks, pairings, scanner match scores — is scored against that profile, so two users asking the same question get different, personal answers.

What is a CorkType?

A CorkType is one of 12 wine personalities (like The Razor, The Explorer, or The Collector), each mapped to the varietals and styles that fit that palate. Meet all 12 CorkTypes or take the quiz.

Is CorkAI free?

Yes — the core experience is free, including the quiz, recommendations, and education content. Premium adds unlimited AI recommendations, advanced cellar tools, and exclusive content. See pricing.

Does the wine scanner work on any bottle?

The scanner identifies up to 10 bottles per photo, scores each against your CorkType, and falls back to a grounded AI web lookup when a wine isn't in the catalog. It works in the iOS app, Android app, and on the web.
