What cork users are saying
I used to just grab whatever was at eye level and hope for the best. Now I describe what I'm cooking and cork tells me exactly what to open. Life-changing for a Tuesday night roast.
Sarah M. — Melbourne
Photographed the wine list at a restaurant, told cork I was having the duck, and got three great picks in seconds. Ordered the second one. Got a compliment from the whole table.
James T. — Sydney
Finally an app that doesn't assume I know what 'grippy tannins' means. Just tells me what to buy for BBQ season. Worth every cent of the $7.99.

Every recommendation is matched to Australian wines you can actually find at your local Dan Murphy's, BWS, or bottle shop. No obscure imports. No pretension. Just three great options for exactly what you need, right now.
Quality over quantity. Three great recommendations beat thirty mediocre ones every time.
Why cork?
Stop guessing.
Start picking with confidence.
Most people cope with wine choices — grabbing the mid-shelf bottle, Googling "wine with chicken," or asking whoever's nearby. cork replaces all of that.

Common questions about cork
Can cork recommend a wine based on what I'm cooking?
Yes — that's exactly what cork is for. Tell cork what you're eating (or take a photo of your meal) and it recommends three matched Australian wines across different budgets. Works for any dish — from a simple pasta to a slow-cooked lamb shoulder.
Can I use cork at a restaurant?
Yes — and this is one of cork's most popular features. Take a photo of the wine list, tell cork what you're ordering, and it recommends wines off the actual list in front of you. Available on Premium.
How is cork different from Vivino?
Vivino helps you rate and track wines you've already chosen. cork tells you what to choose in the first place — based on what you're eating and the occasion. No browsing, no ratings to wade through. Just three wines that will actually work.
Is cork really free to try?
Yes. The free plan includes 15 wine recommendations per month — no credit card required. Premium unlocks unlimited picks, meal photo pairing, voice search, and cellar analytics for $7.99/month with a 7-day free trial.
