Sharing Party & Mix Palate: Taste Wine Together

Taste together, rate apart.

Joining a party and comparing palates are free; hosting and the joint AI picks are Premium

i.What you get

Three things to walk away with.

01

Sharing Party

The host scans or types the flight, guests join by code or link, everyone rates independently, and the reveal shows who loved what. Each guest saves their own ratings into their own journal.

02

Mix Palate

An opt-in palate comparison for a duo or a group of up to eight: axis-by-axis breakdowns, who sits closest and furthest, the wines everyone agrees on, and Premium joint picks for the table.

03

Rack Sharing & Share Cards

Send a rack and the recipient owns the copy outright, positions intact. Share any tasting note or Taste DNA as a designed card that unfurls properly in every chat app.

ii.How it works

Step by step.

  1. Open a code or a link

    Joining is one tap: a party code, a Mix Palate invite, or a shared rack link. Joining is the consent, and you can leave at any time.

  2. Taste on your own terms

    Everyone rates blind on their own phone. No one anchors on the loudest opinion in the room.

  3. Reveal and keep

    The host reveals, the comparison draws itself, and everything you rated lands in your own journal, yours to keep.

Wine Is Better With Witnesses

Most wine apps treat tasting as a solo activity. But the bottles you remember are almost never the ones you drank alone: they are the ones argued over at a dinner table, compared at a tasting bar, passed around at a party.

Sommo’s social surfaces are built for exactly that, and built the Sommo way: opt-in, private by default, and everyone keeps their own notes.

Sharing Party: One Flight, Every Verdict

The host scans the flight card, or types the wines in, and shares a code or a link. Guests join in seconds, free, and rate every pour on their own phone: verdicts, notes, flavour tags.

Nobody sees anyone else’s ratings until the host reveals. Then the table lights up: who loved the Riesling, who put the cult Cabernet last, which wine quietly won the night. Every guest batches their own ratings into their own journal, so the evening becomes data on every phone that attended.

Past parties live in your Wine Tastings list, so you can get back into one without hunting for the code.

Mix Palate: Whose Taste Is This Anyway

Mix Palate compares palates properly. A duo, or a group of up to eight people behind one invite code, each represented by their six-axis Taste DNA fingerprint.

The comparison shows the axis-by-axis breakdown, who sits closest and who is furthest apart, and the wines everyone agrees on. With Premium, the group can ask for joint picks: pair a meal for the whole table, or point the group scanner at a menu and get a pick that suits everyone at once.

Consent is structural, not fine print. Joining via the invite code is the opt-in, the host can withdraw the comparison, and any guest can leave at any time.

Racks and Cards That Travel

Two more ways your wine life moves between people:

  • Rack sharing. Share a named rack from your cellar and the recipient owns the copy outright, bottles and grid positions intact.
  • Share cards. Any tasting note or Taste DNA reading exports as a designed card at a public link that unfurls properly in chat. Friends without the app see the card; friends with it can import what you shared.

Everything here is opt-in, and nothing is public unless you mint a link yourself.

Frequently asked.

01.
Do my guests need Premium to join a Sharing Party?
+
No. Joining, rating, and completing a party are free, and every guest can save their own ratings into their own journal. Hosting a party is Premium.
02.
How does a Sharing Party stay blind?
+
Everyone rates independently on their own phone, and nobody sees anyone else's verdicts until the host reveals. No anchoring on the loudest opinion in the room.
03.
What is Mix Palate?
+
An opt-in taste comparison between consenting users: a duo, or a group of up to eight behind one invite code. You see an axis-by-axis breakdown of your Taste DNA fingerprints, who sits closest and furthest apart, and the wines everyone agrees on. Joining via the code is the consent, and anyone can leave at any time.
04.
What happens when someone opens my shared rack link?
+
They get the rack copied into their own cellar, bottles and grid positions intact, as a rack they own outright. Your original is untouched. Sharing and importing racks are both Premium; a free recipient can preview what they were sent before deciding.
05.
What do share cards look like when I send them?
+
A designed card in Sommo's editorial language, rendered on your device, published at a link that unfurls properly in Messages, WhatsApp, and the rest. The recipient does not need the app to see it, and if they have it, the link opens straight into the import flow.
