New resources for wine and food pairing have emerged, spanning both traditional literature and digital AI technology.

In the digital sector, the wine-pairing app Henri has launched for private and professional use. The tool allows users to photograph or describe a meal to receive instant recommendations based on flavor profiles. For the gastronomy industry, the app enables restaurants to synchronize their specific wine lists via QR codes, allowing guests to receive pairings from the venue’s existing inventory. Additional features include a digital wine cellar with maturity alarms to notify users when a bottle has reached its peak.

Complementing these digital tools, Bettina Matthaei and Dagmar Ehrlich have released the book ‘Zu jedem Wein die passende Leckerei’ (To Every Wine the Perfect Treat). This publication focuses on using specific ingredients and spices to enhance grape aromas through complementary recipes.
