The difference
Most wine apps help you research.
Paco helps you decide.
“What do people think of this wine?”
“What’s in my cellar?”

“Buy this one.”
Here’s why.
Research at home. Decide with Paco.

Then he tells you why.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is Paco different from Vivino or CellarTracker?
Different jobs. Vivino and CellarTracker are excellent for reviews, ratings, and cellar management. Paco is for making decisions.
They answer “What do people think?” Paco answers “What should I buy?”
Can Paco tell me if I’m overpaying?
Yes — one of his favorite things to do. Send a bottle, wine list, or shop screenshot and Paco tells you whether you’re getting:
- A steal
- Fair value
- Restaurant markup
- Bad value
Does Paco know about vintages?
Yes. Paco considers vintage quality, drinking windows, and producer history. Deciding between two vintages? He’ll usually have an opinion.
What can I send Paco?
Almost anything with a wine decision in it:
- Bottle photos
- Restaurant wine lists
- Shop screenshots
- Food pairing questions
- Duty free menus
- Individual bottles
What if Paco doesn’t know a wine?
Then he’ll tell you. Paco would rather give you an honest lean than a confident wrong answer.
Is Paco a sommelier?
Not exactly. He’s the friend you’d text before ordering wine — the one who tells you: buy this, skip that, open it tonight.
