My Next Wine for WooCommerce

Most wine websites work well when the shopper already knows what they want. My Next Wine helps everyone else. The plugin adds a guided, theme-aware Wine Finder to your WooCommerce store. In four quick questions, shoppers choose a bottle mix and total budget, then describe any tastes, dislikes, food, gift or occasion they want considered. My Next Wine builds a complete 1-to-12-bottle selection from the mapped wines currently available in your own catalogue. What makes it different Each eligible product is mapped to structured data about its wine, producer, country, region, subregion, grapes, style and concise notes. Recommendations therefore use more context than product titles and descriptions alone.

• Handles grapes, regions, styles, dislikes, meals, gifts and occasions in natural language.
• Keeps the requested red, white, sparkling and dessert mix within the total order budget.
• Recommends only mapped wines currently available from your store.
• Explains each bottle and clearly identifies compromises or alternatives.
• Lets shoppers swap or remove individual bottles without restarting.
• Adds selected products and quantities directly to the WooCommerce basket.
• Requires no shopper account or email address to show recommendations.
• Uses your existing basket and checkout, so you keep the customer relationship, payment and fulfilment.

Artificial intelligence interprets the shopper's request. Structured catalogue data and deterministic checks enforce the bottle count, wine mix, budget and eligible product pool. At basket time, WooCommerce revalidates each product or variation, quantity, current price, stock and purchase eligibility. Non-wine products can be excluded. The initial eligible catalogue is mapped or reviewed before the trial begins. The launcher, introduction and presentation can be configured for your storefront, and optional aggregate analytics can measure Wine Finder activity and attributed orders. Pricing The hosted My Next Wine service includes a 14-day free trial followed by one of these monthly plans. The current direct-subscription billing currency is EUR:

• Launch: EUR 29.99 per month for up to 350 completed Wine Finder sessions.
• Growth: EUR 79.99 per month for up to 800 completed Wine Finder sessions.
• Scale: EUR 199.99 per month for up to 2,000 completed Wine Finder sessions.

A completed session is one successful selection journey containing the shopper's initial recommendation and up to five combined follow-up refinements or bottle swaps. Starting again creates a new session. Follow-up actions are not counted as separate completed sessions. There is no commission or per-order fee. Subscription checkout and account management are hosted by Stripe. The trial begins only when the catalogue is ready and the merchant chooses to start it. Activating the plugin alone does not start the trial, create a charge or transmit store or catalogue data. Stripe Checkout and the Stripe invoice show the authoritative charge and any tax before payment. My Next Wine does not claim that Stripe Automatic Tax is enabled. The Wine Finder pilot accepts stores in Ireland using EUR and stores in the United Kingdom using GBP; store prices and shopper budgets continue to use the store's own currency. My Next Wine provides technology only. The merchant remains the seller of every wine and is responsible for alcohol licensing, age verification, product information and condition, payment, fulfilment, delivery, customer service, refunds and legal compliance.
