A digital wine menu that can change with your cellar
Published by Menqrly · Updated
Direct answer
A digital wine menu is an online wine list opened by link or QR code. It suits lists where producers, vintages, bottle availability, or by-the-glass selections change frequently. Menqrly publishes the restaurant's existing wine-list PDF rather than requiring item-by-item data entry.

Choose a predictable wine-list structure
Group wines in the way guests and staff naturally discuss them—often sparkling, white, rosé, red, and dessert, with region or grape beneath. Use a consistent format for producer, cuvée, vintage, origin, and price.
Separate bottle and glass selections
Make serving formats unmistakable and define pour sizes where relevant. A focused by-the-glass section helps guests make quick decisions while the full bottle list can remain more detailed.
Manage vintage and availability changes
Update the source list when stock changes and publish a new checked file behind the same QR code. Include a brief availability note because cellar changes can occur faster than any menu update process.
