Wine Tasting Mode: Scan, Rate, and Get AI Insights for Every Flight

Log an Entire Wine Tasting Flight in Minutes

At a tasting event, you do not have time to scan labels, write detailed notes, and compose tasting assessments for each wine. You need to capture your reaction in seconds and move on to the next glass.

Wine Tasting Mode is built for exactly this. Speed during the event, depth after.

Scan the Flight Card with AI

Take a photo of the tasting menu or flight card. Sommo’s AI reads it and adds every wine to your session, including producer, region, grape varieties, and vintage. No label scanning, no typing, no squinting at bottles across the table.

You can also add wines by name if there is no card. Type “Chateau Margaux 2015” and AI fills in the details automatically.

Fix Mistakes on the Fly

OCR is good, not perfect. Tasting room cards are sometimes handwritten. The producer name on the menu doesn’t always match the official spelling.

Every wine card in Quick Taste has a pencil affordance. Tap it to open a focused edit sheet for the wine name and vintage. The change applies inside your session, so the live insight and per-wine review use the corrected identity. When you complete the tasting, Sommo re-resolves the canonical wine, so the journal entry comes out right too. No more journal entries pointing at a wine that does not exist.

Quick-Rate Every Wine in the Tasting

Swipe through your wines one at a time. For each wine, you get:

• One-tap rating. Not For Me, Solid Choice, or Would Buy Again.
• Tasting notes. A text field for quick impressions.
• Flavour tags. Oaky, Tannic, Smooth, Bold, Fresh, Tart, and more preset tags that cover the dimensions a sommelier checks first.
• Favourite toggle. Mark the standouts.
• Add to Cellar. Save a bottle to your wine cellar right from the card, into the rack of your choice.

The whole interaction takes seconds per wine. Rate, note, tag, swipe, next.

For larger flights, toggle to the list view to see all wines at a glance and tap any wine to jump to its card.

Get AI-Powered Wine Tasting Insights

After you complete a session, Sommo’s AI analyses your ratings, notes, and tags automatically. No button to press. It starts as soon as you finish.

Personalised Palate Analysis

The AI identifies patterns across your rated wines and connects them to specific flavour profiles. It suggests new wines or regions to explore based on what you enjoyed and what you did not.

Per-Wine Sommelier Reviews

Every rated wine gets a one to two sentence sommelier review. The AI cross-references your tags against how the wine actually tastes:

• Accurate tags get confirmed with evidence
• Unlikely tags get a diplomatic correction
• Contradictions get explained

The goal is to teach, not to agree. Every wine tasting becomes a micro-lesson.

Favourite the Venues Worth Going Back To

The Wine Tastings log is more than a list of sessions. It’s a map of the rooms you’ve enjoyed.

Tap the heart on any tasting row to mark the venue or winery as a favourite. The same toggle lives on the session detail header and in the edit screen, so you can flip it from wherever feels natural. A “Favourite venues only” filter at the top of the log narrows the view to the rooms you want to remember.

The heart is for the venue. Each wine inside the session keeps its own favourite, so you can love a place without committing to every pour, or favourite a wine without giving the room a stamp.

Tasting Notes Flow Directly to Your Wine Journal

Completing a session creates a journal entry for every rated wine. Ratings, notes, and tasting dates all carry over. If you edit a wine later, the journal updates too.

Your tasted wines also appear on the interactive wine map as explored regions. No extra steps needed.

Edit Any Tasting and Regenerate AI Analysis

Changed your mind about a rating? Tap Taste on any completed session to re-enter the flow. The AI insight regenerates automatically with your updated data, so you always get fresh analysis.

Session metadata like venue, location, date, theme, and notes is editable too.
