The digital wine card

Quick answer

Enable it with Use as Digital Wine Card on a card that has a site assigned. One per site.
The featured wine at the top follows a four-step fallback, starting with the spotlight wine.
The banner text under "Editor's choice" is your card's intro text, with a fixed fallback when you have not written one.

Turning it on

On the wine card, switch on Use as Digital Wine Card. The card is then displayed to guests in the tablet app in kiosk mode.

Two requirements:

The card must have a site. Digital wine cards are linked to a site so the tablet knows which list to show. Without one, Vinius points you at Storage Manager to create it, then back here to save again.
One per site. This is enforced, not advisory. Marking a second card as the digital card for the same site takes the role away from the first.

Your plan sets how many digital wine cards you can run, 1 on Free, 2 on Professional, 5 on Premium and unlimited on Enterprise. On Free the card shows no prices. See Tier entitlements and plan limits.

If the tablet shows No Wine Card Configured, no card is marked as the digital card for that device's active site.

How the featured wine is chosen

The large wine at the top, labelled Featured, is resolved in this order. The first rule that produces a wine wins.

The spotlight wine, if one is set for this site and that wine is actually on the card.
Otherwise, the first wine in the Recommended Wines category.
Otherwise, the first wine in the House Wines category.
Otherwise, the first wine on the card.

This explains the two things people report as bugs.

"I set a spotlight and nothing changed." The spotlight wine is not on this card, so step 1 was skipped. Use Add to Digital Wine Card & Feature on the wine, see Per-wine wine card settings.

"The featured wine changed on its own." You have no spotlight set, so the hero is following steps 2 to 4. Re-sorting a category, adding a recommended wine or changing the selection all move whatever sits first. If you want it fixed, set a spotlight.

Because step 1 depends on the spotlight, changing the featured bottle is a single toggle on one wine, not a card edit.

The banner above the featured wine has three parts:

"Editor's choice", a fixed label that follows the guest's language. It is not editable.
The paragraph, which is your card's intro text. Write it under Basic Information in the display settings. When no intro text is set, a fixed sentence appears instead, along the lines of wines that carry the character of our house. If you have never touched the intro text, that fallback is what your guests are reading.
"View selection", which opens the full browsable list. It is a doorway into Browse, not a separate curated selection.

A long intro is truncated with a Read more that opens the full text, so you can write a real paragraph without breaking the layout.

Sections and structure

The sections on the tablet are the same categories you built for the PDF. Grouping, secondary grouping, category order, hidden categories and your custom category headers all carry over. There is no separate structure to maintain.

Empty sections are hidden, so a category with nothing in it does not appear.
Each section shows how many wines it contains and a View all link into that section.
A wine available in several vintages shows Available in with the years, and a From price rather than a single figure.

Prices follow the card's settings: hiding prices hides them here too, and glass prices appear only when per-glass display is on. See Wine card display settings.

Stock is refreshed roughly once a minute while the tablet is open. A wine that sells out during service drops off without anyone touching the device, assuming the card excludes out-of-stock wines.

Simple or magazine style

The guest-facing layout is chosen on the device, in the mobile app, under Settings, App Settings, Digital Wine Card style:

Magazine style is the editorial layout: featured hero, banner, section previews and the magazine detail screen that uses your magazine panel colour.
Simple is a plainer list.

This is a per-device setting, not a property of the card. Two tablets in the same venue can run different styles from the same card, and nothing in the Wine Cards page controls it. Worth knowing before you search for it there.

What guests can do

Search wines, wineries, regions and grapes, and filter by country, style, grape, vintage, volume and price band, including a multi-vintage-only filter.
Sort by name or by price.
Switch language with the globe control in the header, independently of the card's configured language. The interface and the wine content, descriptions, tasting notes, food pairings and region labels, all re-render in the chosen language.
Build a selection. A star on any wine gathers it into a floating tray, then a Selection screen where wines can be reviewed, removed, cleared or compared side by side on price, vintage, region, style, grapes, score and pairings.

The selection is designed for service in both directions: a sommelier can star a few picks and hand the tablet over, or a guest can shortlist wines to discuss. It survives an app reload and is cleared on logout.

Wine detail

Tapping a wine opens its detail screen, showing what you have filled in on the wine: available vintages with the current one marked, critic scores, description, tasting notes, grape composition, food pairings and a winery drawer with story, terroir, philosophy and key facts.

Anything you have not filled in simply does not appear. The detail screen is the strongest argument for completing wine data, because gaps are visible to guests rather than only to you.
