For iPhone and Android
Find the right bottle on the supermarket shelf.
Photograph the wine aisle. Gwin recognises the bottles and lets you filter them by grape, region, food pairing, awards and price.
Free to use: 3 shelf scans a month. No account needed.
One photo. A shortlist.
A supermarket wine aisle is a lot of bottles and not much to go on. Gwin turns the shelf in front of you into a list you can narrow down.
-
Photograph the shelf
Stand square to the shelf, about an arm’s length away, and fit one bay in the frame. One photo is enough.
-
Gwin recognises the bottles
Each bottle it knows is listed with its grape, region, price and what it goes with. A bottle it is not sure about is marked rather than guessed.
-
Filter to what you want
A red to go with lamb, in a price band you choose. See the matches as a list, or highlighted on your photo so you can find them on the shelf.
Filter the shelf your way
Each filter shows how many bottles on your shelf match, so you can see what a choice leaves you with before you make it.

It gets to know what you like
Save what you like and rate what you try, and Gwin’s picks follow.
Picks that say why
Tell Gwin what you usually buy, or rate wines as you try them, and it marks some bottles on the shelf “For you”, each with its reason, such as “Because you rate Malbec highly.” It is a suggestion, not a promise.
Saved wines and your own ratings
Tap the bookmark to save a wine. Rate it out of five and add a note once you have tried it. Both are kept in My Wines, and they are yours alone.

Questions
How does Gwin work?
You take one photo of the wine shelf in front of you. Gwin finds each bottle in the picture, reads its label and shows you the wines it recognises as a list you can filter, or as boxes on your photo. How it works.
Where can I use it?
In the wine aisle of UK supermarkets. Gwin works from a photo of the shelf, so there is nothing to type and no barcode to find. It needs an internet connection, because the photo is read on our servers.
Which phones does it work on?
iPhone and Android phones. Gwin is on the App Store and on Google Play.
What if a bottle is not recognised?
Gwin says so. A bottle it is not sure about is marked “Not in our list yet” rather than guessed, with anything it could read from the label. We would rather tell you that than show you the wrong wine.
Is it free?
Yes. You get 3 shelf scans a month for free, with every filter, saved wines, ratings and picks. Gwin Premium removes the monthly limit and keeps your full scan history open. Gwin Premium is £4.99 a month or £34.99 a year. See pricing.
How do I cancel?
Gwin Premium is bought through the App Store or Google Play, and you cancel it in your Apple or Google account settings. Cancelling stops the next payment, and Premium stays on until the end of the time you have paid for.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use Gwin as a guest once you have confirmed you are 18 or over. If you add an email and password later, your scans, saved wines and ratings stay with you.
What happens to my photos?
A shelf photo is sent to our servers to be read and is kept with your scan so you can look at it again. Free accounts can open scans from the last 7 days. You can delete a scan whenever you like. Privacy policy.
Does Gwin sell wine?
No. Gwin does not sell alcohol and is independent of the supermarkets. It helps you choose from what is on the shelf, and the price on the shelf is the one that counts.
