Point your camera at any wine label. First Sips tells you what it is, when to drink it, and what to eat with it — then quietly files it away in your cellar forever.

Every scan saves to your private cellar, synced across your Apple devices. Filter, search, edit, merge duplicates. Mark bottles as drunk.
Share a cellar with your partner, family or wine-loving friends. Everyone can add bottles, leave notes, and mark wines as drunk — together.
Keep tasting notes, ratings and memories alongside each bottle. Your wine diary, kept as carefully as your cellar.

How it works
Point your camera at any wine label — or pick a photo from your library.
Read the full analysis — grapes, region, drink window, food pairings, tasting notes.
Save it to your cellar. Add your own notes. Never forget a great bottle 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.
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.
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.
