The missed conversation

Every customer who walks in deserves to leave with a bottle they love.

A personal wine guide for every customer.

/kəʊˈæl.ɪ.s(ə)ns/ — noun

A personalised wine guide built for independent shops. Customers tap a tag, answer a few questions, leave with a wine they'll love — and an understanding of why it works.

How it works

From shelf to recommendation in under sixty seconds.

01
Tap the NFC tag
The customer taps a tag on the shop floor. Their phone opens Coalescence in their browser — no app download, no account needed.
02
Answer a few quick questions
A branching questionnaire — five questions for a first visit, ten for a full palate picture. Do they have a meal in mind? Coalescence starts from the occasion.
03
Get wines with reasons
Five personalised picks from your inventory — each with a pairing note that explains the match in plain English.
