About

Technology in service of the table.

Entwine is a wine technology company built by people who sit on both sides of the table — diners frustrated by the gap between wine lists and cellars, and operators who understand the pressure of running a great restaurant. So we built both. The platform we wished existed.

Three things we believe in. Everything else follows.

Technology should serve the experience, not replace it

Entwine doesn't put a screen between a guest and a great meal. It makes the meal better — quietly, intelligently, in the background.

Local expertise, global ambition

We started in Malta. We think in Europe. We operate through people who know their markets — because the best wine culture is always local first.

Built by people who sit at both sides of the table

As diners, we've been frustrated by the gap between wine lists and cellars. As operators, we know the pressure of running a great restaurant. Entwine was built from both.

The founding story

Entwine co-founders Claire and Daniel at a founding-club restaurant

It started at dinner. Daniel and I were at a newly opened Michelin-starred restaurant. They gave us a digital wine list. We selected a wine — out of stock. We selected another — out of stock again. We settled for our third choice.

Even at that level, the digital wine list had no connection to the actual cellar. If it was happening there, it was happening everywhere.

The next morning Daniel arrived with the idea fully formed: wine pairing built specifically for what a restaurant actually has. I stress-tested it from every angle. It held up. That moment became a wine app — and a surreal shower moment a few weeks later gave it its name. Entwine.
