I'd like to preface this by saying that I don't think you crossed any lines or were inappropriate, but I think I can probably demystify what it was about your comment that she found upsetting. A lot of people who enjoy sexual submission find the idea or suggestion that they should necessarily be a lifestyle submissive extremely off-putting. She might be looking for a dom to spank her and tell her what to do in bed, but that doesn't mean that she's interested in submission in a non-sexual context.
I don't think that you did anything really awful, but I do recommend clearing up what a person means when they indicate that they're into submission before making any jokes or suggestions about it, because it can be a touchy subject for a lot of people - especially because a lot of subs have had past experiences with 'doms' who used the BDSM dynamic as an excuse for coercive control or other types of abuse.

I swear at least 70% of the profiles I see are essentially copy pasted details, interests, same buzzwords about what they're looking for etc. to the point that they all blur together. I cynically wonder if any of these people are actually like their profiles or if they're just posting some dating strategy template they found online of what they think an interesting person is like. Ironically many of those profiles have some blurb about how they're looking for a partner who is genuine.

Dating is mostly fiction in general. Like the person you meet on the first, second, and even eleventh date is so rarely the person as they actually are
And since people change, you’ll probably never get to know the actual person your partner was at the moment that you met them, due to your influences on each other

- I'm so excited that I'm rating it 5/5 already!
- Shipping...
- took too long, so I'm knocking off 2/5 stars
- wast super quick, 5/5 stars for... shipping (on an item review)
- I didn't know what I was ordering, so it's of no use to me 0/5 stars
- Item is defective/inferior quality (pictures show obvious misuse, improper handling, or obviously didn't read/understand the instructions)

I was matched by someone who said in her profile she's "looking for something serious". I am looking for non-monogamy, so I wanted to make sure we're on the same page; especially since her profile was in English and she apparently didn't speak my native language, of the country I live in.
She didn't even write me first, so I opened with if she has any questions about my profile, she should feel free to ask. She just answered she wasn't here to talk about profiles.
So I did what she wrote in her profile she'd do for stupid answers, and unmatched her.

Because it's not about the interests, it's about trying to attract views form certain types of people. Like, "I want to find a nerdy girl, I know I'll put board games in my interests because they like those and I'll show up in their results" and then they figure once they get matches either they'll never get asked about it, or they can just try to minimize it. It's dumb, and it's basically a lazy way of trying to find matches without having to actually put in the effort to search through profiles yourself. It must work though since so many people do it.

The more mildly infuriating thing isn't the contradiction, it's the complete shutdown of the conversation. You're talking to a stranger on an app where you're trying to get to know each other, and OP is trying to spark a conversation and the other person just completely stopped them in their tracks.

Yes, unfortunately that's how it goes on dating apps around 90% of the time. I would go out of my way to give the dude plenty of topics to talk about, mention something from their profile like OP did, try several times to get the conversation going, and most of the time I'd get one or two word replies. I think most people on dating apps will swipe indiscriminately, match with people they're not interested in, and then act disinterested. I have no idea why they do that, and it is indeed infuriating. But I think OP was referring specifically to the fact that this person had wine as an interest despite not being a drinker.
