Winery & Brewery Management: AI Visibility Ranking

Production and sales software for wineries and breweries covering production, inventory, compliance, and direct-to-consumer sales. Right now, Ekos is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 69 and the #1 spot in 25% of answers. Head-to-head: Ekos vs Vintrace →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

Ekos dominates; everyone else argues over table scraps.

Ekos sits 33 points clear of the nearest competitor and shows up in 82% of answers, making it the near-automatic recommendation across all three models. The real contest is among four brands clustered between scores of 24 and 37, where Commerce7 is the wildcard: Claude nearly ignores it while Gemini scores it at 52, the sharpest model disagreement in the category. Beer30 rounds out the pack with a 36% mention rate but has never been anyone's first pick.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: Brew Commander (6), BreweryDB (5), Vin65 (4.9), eCellar (4.2), VicinityBrew (4). 93 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 31/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
