Catalog-grounded wine recommendations for retailers.

AsterFox helps wine retailers and marketplaces prepare their catalog data, business rules and recommendation journeys for an AI shopping experience based on their real assortment.

Wine catalogs are hard to navigate online.

Online wine buyers often do not know the appellation, grape, region, vintage or style they should search for. At the same time, many wine catalogs depend on expert filters, incomplete supplier data and generic recommendations.

  • Customers struggle to choose between many similar bottles.
  • Good long-tail wines remain difficult to discover.
  • Product data is often incomplete or inconsistent.
  • Generic recommendations do not reflect the real catalog.
  • Online discovery lacks the guidance customers expect offline.

A catalog-to-recommendation layer for wine commerce.

AsterFox connects wine product data, customer intent and recommendation logic to help merchants build a more useful discovery experience. The goal is not to replace expertise, but to make it more accessible online.
