Winerim vs a generic digital menu
Digital menu tools solve the general problem. But a wine list has very specific needs that a generic menu doesn't cover.
There are dozens of tools for creating digital menus. They work well for the food menu, but a wine list needs technical wine sheets, pairings, vintage management, stock control per wine and smart recommendations. A generic menu isn't designed for this.
