What Firstleaf is
Firstleaf is a free mobile app that works like a pocket sommelier. It studies the chemical profiles of nearly a million wines and turns that into personalized recommendations. To get started you answer a few questions to build a taste profile. After that you can point the in-app camera at a restaurant menu, a store shelf, or a wine label, and the app suggests options that fit your palate. Each time you taste and rate a wine, it learns more about what you like and improves the next round of picks. The app is ad-free, free to use, and says it does not sell your data. It is listed on the Apple App Store, so you need a compatible iOS device.
What you can do with it
- Build a taste profile from a few opening questions

Who it is for

What to watch out for
Firstleaf is free and ad-free now, but apps change, so the free features could shift with future updates. It is listed on the Apple App Store, so you need a compatible iOS device to use it. The recommendations depend on the taste profile and the ratings you give, so they get better the more you use the app; early suggestions may feel general. It is a guide, not a guarantee, since taste is personal and it cannot taste for you. Check the app's current listing for the latest details before you download.
