A prompt to build your own version of Vivino

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Vivino-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for wine shoppers who want to scan a bottle and learn about it. Use a clean cream and burgundy design with large text and bottle photos. The main screen should have a Scan Label button and a saved wines section. Let me take a photo or choose one from my library, then confirm a sample wine match. Tapping the match should open a wine page with its producer, vintage, rating, reviews and retailer prices with source dates. Add a save button for a local favorites list. Use realistic sample data and clearly mark ratings, reviews, prices and scan matches as demo content until real services are connected.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Vivino won't have

Vivino gives people an established wine community, years of its members' tasting reviews, and relationships with wine retailers that a licensed catalog alone would not provide.

  • Vivino's existing wine community
  • Years of Vivino tasting reviews
  • Vivino's wine retailer relationships
