What is this bottle, and what do I buy back home?
European labels name a village, not a grape. Photograph any label abroad and Terroir tells you what is in the bottle — then names the wines on your own shelves that taste closest.
Photograph the label
In a shop, a trattoria or a tasting room — one photo is enough.
See what it really is
Grape, region, body, sweetness and how it will taste, in plain language.
Find it back home
Two or three bottles sold in your country that drink the same way.
