01

What does ShelfRead actually do?

Photograph a liquor-store shelf and ShelfRead identifies the products, collects trusted ratings, and organizes available offers in one view. You still make the choice; we make the options easier to compare.

02

What can it recognize?

ShelfRead is built for wine, beer, and spirits, including whiskey, tequila, mezcal, rum, vodka, and gin. Clear labels and shelf tags give you the strongest results.

03

How do I take a useful photo?

Step back far enough to capture full bottles and their price tags. Keep the camera steady, avoid strong glare, and add another photo if the shelf runs beyond the frame.

04

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Open ShelfRead in your phone’s browser and choose a photo or take one in the aisle. There’s no app to install and no account required to start.

05

How are products sorted?

Products begin in ShelfRead’s default order. You can sort by the average of available ratings or by a specific source you trust. When recommendations are available, Our Pick, Budget Pick, and Upgrade Pick badges explain which products stand out and why.
