Read-only lookups over the wine data published at vinsip.app: regulated figures with their primary sources, purchase rules by country, wine regions, and venue directory coverage. Four things to carry into an answer: every figure comes with the body that published it and the page that explains it, and both are worth quoting; duty regimes are charged on different bases, so a single "duty per bottle" number is wrong for at least two countries; venue coverage is a count of what this site has indexed, never of what exists, and the listings themselves are not redistributed. And: This data describes wine as a category — what it is taxed, what a label must say, what a region grows. It cannot tell you whether a particular bottle is good, sound or genuine: those are properties of the liquid, and no dataset holds them.

Inferred read-onlywine_regionThe grape varieties planted and the styles made in a wine region VinSip profiles, with its country, parent region and the page that describes it.
Inferred read-onlyvenue_coverageHow many wine shops, wine bars, wine-focused restaurants and wineries VinSip has indexed in a city, and the page where those listings are shown.
Inferred read-onlyguide_lookupFind the VinSip guide or reference page covering a subject, whether its figures are sourced, and which of the thirty locales it exists in.
Inferred read-onlyapp_capabilitiesThe app's capabilities, what the free tier includes, and an explicit list of what it cannot do.
