Your pocket sommelier

Never wonder
"what shall we drink?"
again.

Tell First Sips what you're eating and the occasion, and it becomes the knowledgeable wine friend we all wish we had — whether you're at home tonight or stood in front of a wall of bottles in the shop.

At home

Which bottle from your cellar?

Planning dinner? Tell First Sips what you're cooking, pick the occasion — a casual Tuesday, something special, a proper celebration — and it picks the perfect bottle from the wines you already own.

Roast leg of lamb tonight, our anniversary, nice bottle.

Your 2015 Château Lynch-Bages would be magnificent — now in its prime window, and a classic match for roast lamb. You've had it for six years: tonight would be a fitting occasion.

At the shop

Which bottle from the shelf?

Standing in the wine aisle, paralysed? Scan any bottle in front of you. First Sips tells you whether it's worth the money, what it'll taste like, and whether it'll suit what you're planning to eat.

Is this £18 Burgundy any good with Sunday roast chicken?

This is honest value for the appellation — 2022 was a very good vintage here. Earthy, medium-bodied Pinot Noir that'll sing with roast chicken and buttered carrots. Buy two, drink within five years.

Wine makes every meal an occasion, every table more elegant, every day more civilised. — André Simon
