# Drinkist

> Drink tracker and taste journal app for iOS and Android. Log, rate, and remember every wine, beer, cocktail, whisky, spirit, coffee, and tea you taste — and photograph a drinks menu to get a recommendation matched to your own tasting history.

Drinkist is a free mobile app by AnCh Tech, available on the App Store and Google Play. It has two AI camera modes. Identify reads a bottle label and fills in the brand, type, vintage, ABV, and country of origin, and drafts tasting notes. Smart Pick reads a photographed drinks menu, shelf, or row of bottles and recommends drinks ranked by how well they match your own tasting history, each with a match score and a one-sentence reason, plus anything worth skipping. Drinks you want to try go on a wishlist that stays out of your stats until you log a tasting. Ratings run 1 to 10. The free plan covers 30 drinks, 10 tastings, one AI label scan a day, and three Smart Picks (then one a week); Premium lifts those limits and adds the full stats screen and cloud sync across devices. Unlike single-category apps (Vivino for wine, Untappd for beer), Drinkist is one journal for everything you drink.

## Comparisons
- [Drinkist vs Vivino](https://drinkist.app/compare/drinkist-vs-vivino): Vivino is the biggest wine app on earth — a crowd-rating database with a wine shop attached. Drinkist is a private tasting journal for everything you drink, with AI scanning for any label and no ads or marketplace. Pick Vivino to buy wine by the crowd score; pick Drinkist to remember what you personally loved across wine, beer, cocktails, whisky and coffee.
- [Drinkist vs Untappd](https://drinkist.app/compare/drinkist-vs-untappd): Untappd is a social network for beer — check in, earn badges, see what friends are drinking, browse venue menus. Drinkist is a private journal for every drink — wine, beer, cocktails, whisky, coffee — with AI label scanning and no ads or feed. Pick Untappd for the beer community; pick Drinkist to quietly remember what you actually liked.
- [The best Vivino alternative for 2026](https://drinkist.app/compare/vivino-alternative): If you’re leaving Vivino because it turned into a wine shop full of ads and sponsored listings, Drinkist is the calm alternative: a private journal for every drink, with AI label scanning, Smart Pick to read any wine list you photograph, and nobody selling you bottles.
- [The best Untappd alternative for 2026](https://drinkist.app/compare/untappd-alternative): If you want to log beer without check-ins, badges, ads and a public feed — and you’d like the same app to handle wine, cocktails and whisky too — Drinkist is the private alternative to Untappd: AI label scanning, Smart Pick from any menu you photograph, nothing broadcast.
- [Is there an Untappd for wine?](https://drinkist.app/compare/vivino-vs-untappd): If you want Untappd’s scan-rate-log habit for wine specifically, that is Vivino — the largest wine database anywhere, crowd scores on almost every label, with ads and a shop attached. If what you actually miss is one place for everything you drink, no wine-only app fixes that: Drinkist keeps wine, beer, cocktails, whisky and coffee in a single private journal, with AI label scanning, no ads and no check-ins.
