FAQ

Core Differentiation

Q: Why not just use Google to look up a wine?
A: Google gives you pages of links and critic jargon. Wine-oh! gives you one clear, personalized answer in seconds — no scrolling, no confusion.

Q: What makes Wine-oh! different from a search engine?
A: Google delivers information. Wine-oh! delivers interpretation. It understands your taste, mood, and setting — and gives an instant, human-sounding answer that fits the moment.

Q: Can’t Google do that too?
A: No. Google can’t recognize a label, translate a wine list, or analyze a shelf of bottles. Wine-oh! combines image recognition, translation, and taste logic to give you context, not clutter.

Q: How is Wine-oh! different from Vivino?
A: Vivino relies on crowdsourced reviews from strangers. Wine-oh! relies on you — your taste, history, and preferences. No noise, no pretension, just clarity.

Q: How is Wine-oh! different from Wine-Searcher?
A: Wine-Searcher is for comparing prices and retailers. Wine-oh! is for discovering what you’ll actually love — focused on taste, mood, and real-world context.
