Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Julien, and I built Pour Guide - but probably not for the reason you'd expect. **The Origin Story:** I've been on my wine journey for years. I'm literally studying for wine certifications right now. You'd think I'd have this figured out by now. But here's the truth: I STILL get overwhelmed and intimidated at wine shops and restaurants. Why? Because even with all that knowledge, I can't remember every wine I've tried. I forget which specific bottles I loved. And I'm tired of recommendations driven by marketing budgets rather than my actual taste. If someone like me - actively studying wine - struggles with this, imagine how beginners feel. So I built Pour Guide for all of us. **What Makes It Different:** ✅ Track what YOU actually tried and liked (not what's trending) ✅ AI photo recognition - snap any label or wine menu, done ✅ Get recommendations based on YOUR taste patterns ✅ Rate in your own words - whether you're a beginner or studying wine **Current State:** Launched January 1st. Free during early testing. A few early users already tracking their wines and getting personalized recommendations. Still rough around the edges, but it works. And it's already helping me remember what I love. **What's Next:** - More refined recommendation engine - Beginner-friendly quick start flow - iOS/Android native apps - Recipe pairing with grocery store shelf image recognition (take a photo of the entire wine shelf to get a single recommendation) **I'd Love Your Feedback On:** - Does this solve a real problem for you? - What features would make this indispensable? - How can I make wine discovery less intimidating? Thanks for checking it out! Happy to answer questions about the app, wine, or why I thought building this while studying for wine certifications was a good idea 😅🍷 Try it: www.pourguide.app
