CASE STUDY · WINE CURATION
Good taste,
in under a minute.
We built an AI-assisted curation and order system for Bistro Wines. It weighs up each customer’s taste, budget, previous orders and the stock on the shelf, then suggests a selection for the Bistro Wines team to check.

THE BRIEF
Every bottle,
checked by hand.
Bistro Wines builds monthly wine selections around each customer. Getting them right meant bringing together preferences, budgets, previous orders and live stock.
The team was checking every bottle by hand. The goal was to give their expertise a faster, more reliable way to work.
WHAT WE BUILT
The AI reads the wine.
The rules protect the order.
AI helps analyse label information and write useful customer notes. The system keeps stock, pricing, exclusions and the team’s review in control.
