Personal sommelier · For every customer

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

Coalescence brings together a customer's palate, a shop's inventory, and what they feel like drinking — and finds the right wine. Instantly. Without staff time.

See how it works

The missed conversation

It's a Saturday afternoon. A customer walks into your shop, hovers near the shelves, picks up a bottle, reads the back label, puts it down. Picks up the £12 Pinot Grigio they already know.

Not because the wine isn't there. Because nobody was free to start the conversation.

Your best people are busy. The customer who might have loved a Grüner Veltliner — crisp, mineral, something they'd never tried — leaves with the safe choice. Again.

Coalescence starts the conversation your team didn't have time for.

How it works

From shelf to recommendation in under 60 seconds

No app download. No account required. Just a tap, a few questions, and a recommendation they can trust.

1

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.

2

Answer a few quick questions

A branching questionnaire — 5 questions for a first visit, 10 for a full palate picture. Do they have a meal in mind? Coalescence starts from the occasion.

3

Get wines with reasons

Five personalised picks from the shop's own inventory — each with a plain-English reason they can understand, remember, and tell friends over dinner.

"The mineral edge and citrus brightness in this Vermentino will work beautifully with the sea bass tonight — it's the kind of crisp, saline white that makes seafood sing."

Wine Passport

Your wine story, building visit by visit.

Every bottle earns a stamp. 18 countries, old world and new — from Bordeaux to Barossa, Rioja to Ribera del Duero. The more you explore, the better we know what to reach for next.

The Passport isn't a loyalty scheme — it's a relationship. Over time, Coalescence learns what you love, where the gaps are, and what to suggest next. "You've stamped France three times — ready to try something off the beaten path?"
