The right bottle can turn a film night into an occasion. Tell us what you're watching — a weepy rom-com, a white-knuckle thriller, a sprawling epic — and we'll pour the New Zealand wine that matches the mood on screen.
Tap tonight's genre and we'll match the wine to the mood.
A few iconic films and the bottle they were born to be watched with.
A Sunday-sauce saga deserves a structured, savoury Gimblett Gravels blend or a NZ "Super-Tuscan" red — old-world weight for an old-world family.
The film that made a nation fall for Pinot. Pour a silky Central Otago Pinot Noir — and, per Miles, absolutely no Merlot.
A sun-baked beach thriller wants something cold, pink and breezy — sip a chilled NZ rosé and try not to think about the water.
Dark, dense and a little dangerous — a peppery Hawke's Bay Syrah has the body to keep you company through the jump scares.
Bubbles are joy in a glass. A NZ méthode traditionnelle keeps the mood light, fizzy and just a little bit giddy.
Watching someone cook beautiful things? A rich, barrel-aged Chardonnay is the most delicious wine to drink while you get hungry.
It's the same idea behind sonic seasoning — what's happening around you quietly changes how a wine tastes. A tense thriller makes a structured red feel even more gripping; a sparkling wine makes a comedy fizz. Match the energy on screen to the glass in your hand and both get better.
None of it's a rule. It's permission to make a Tuesday film night feel like a proper night out — without leaving the couch.
Name the film (or just the vibe) and the AI sommelier will cast the perfect New Zealand bottle for the back row of your couch.
