The Guide to Drinking Well 🍷
The right wine for every dish, in seconds.
We start with what you want, never with the jargon.
Le GlouGlou is a free iPhone app for food and wine pairing: start from the dish or the bottle, and it finds the match. Over 200 French and international appellations in plain language. And it learns your taste to keep recommendations personal.

Where do we start?
Three ways in, and the same question every time: what sounds good right now?
What's cooking?
Tell us the dish and we'll find the glass that goes with it.
What are we opening?
Pairing works both ways. Start from the bottle and we'll tell you what to cook around it.
What's the occasion?
Birthday, promotion or a rainy Sunday. Find the bottle the moment deserves.
Wine 101
Tannins, sulfites, serving temperature. The essentials in plain, friendly language. No gatekeeping, just the good stuff.
My taste board
Rate what you taste. The more you explore, the better your recommendations get. Your favorites follow you from one device to the next the moment you sign in.
Loved
The ones you fell for, one tap away.
Liked
The ones you'd happily pour again.
Meh
Saying what you don't like sharpens your taste profile just as much.
Take a look inside
The names stay French, because Chablis is Chablis. Everything else, we translate.
Questions we actually get
How does the food and wine pairing work?
Pick your starting point: a dish, a bottle, or an occasion. Le GlouGlou matches over 200 appellation guides against your taste board to suggest the pairing that fits you, explained in plain language.
Is the app free?
Yes, completely. No ads, no in-app purchases, no hidden premium tier.
Why not just ask ChatGPT?
Le GlouGlou remembers your tastes (loved, liked, meh) and personalises every pairing. The appellation guides are written and checked, not generated on the fly. And everything works offline, at the restaurant or in the cellar.
Do I need an account?
No. No password, no email. Download it, open it, it works, even without a connection.
Is it available on Android?
Not yet: Le GlouGlou is available for iPhone on the App Store.
So, when are we pouring? 🥂
