Because Vincent reads your actual bottles, the questions worth asking are the ones only your own collection can answer — what to open tonight, what a wine will taste like to you, and whether something is ready.
The strongest starting point is a wine itself. Open any bottle and tap Ask Vincent: the conversation begins already knowing that wine's region, grapes, style, critic scores, tasting notes and drink window, so you can skip describing it.
⭐ Ask Vincent on a wine's page needs a paid plan. On a free collection the prompts open the plan picker instead. Everything else here works in the main Vincent chat.
Ask Vincent about one wine
Open the wine from your collection
Tap Ask Vincent — it is on the wine's action row, and in the … menu
Tap one of the four suggested prompts, or type your own question
Prompt | What you get back |
Will I enjoy this wine? | Your taste profile and reviews weighed against this wine, including where it clashes |
What should I pair with this? | Food and occasion suggestions for this bottle |
Is this worth cellaring? | Drink now or hold, anchored to the drink window shown in the app |
How should I serve this? | Temperature, glass and decanting time |
Ask Vincent is on iPhone, iPad and the web app. On Android, ask the same questions in the main chat and name the wine.
Questions worth asking in the main chat
A fresh chat opens with a row of suggested questions, picked for the day and for what you have been doing in the app. Tap one, or ask your own:
Your bottles — "How many Cabernets do I have?", "What's my most valuable bottle?", "Which of my wines is ready to drink?", "Show me my Italian reds under $50"
Tonight — "I'm making lamb — what should I open?", "Something special for six people"
Your own notes — "What did I think of the Caymus?", "What have I drunk this year?"
Wine beyond your cellar — "How was 2019 in Napa?", "What does tannin mean?"
Have Vincent change something
Tell Vincent plainly rather than asking a question, and it will act: "add three bottles of the 2019 Ridge Monte Bello", "mark that Barolo as consumed", "put the purchase price at $80". Vincent looks the bottles up, confirms which ones you mean, then makes the change. Phrase it as a question and it will answer instead of acting — that is deliberate.
Photos, follow-ups and past chats
Tap + to attach photos — a label to identify, a restaurant list to recommend from, or a bottle for context. You can send several in one message.
After each reply Vincent offers a few short follow-up chips; tap one or keep typing. Everything within one conversation stays in context. The menu icon at the top of the chat lists your past chats by date, opens Settings, and starts a new chat.
