Instruments for the curious drinker.

Six free wine tools, no signup: a drinking window checker, vintage checker, pairing finder, party calculator, serving temperature guide, and calories calculator.

Every merchant's counter keeps a drawer of instruments: the vintage chart, the temperature card, the pairing rule of thumb scribbled inside a notebook cover. This page is our drawer, opened. Six tools, each answering one question a wine drinker actually asks, each free, none asking for your email. Use them on the way to the shop, at the stove, or with the bottle already sweating on the counter.

i.Chapter one

For the table, tonight.

ii.Chapter two

For the students.

The seventh tool

The one that fits in your pocket.

Sommo scans labels, tracks drinking windows, pairs your own cellar with dinner, and remembers every bottle you loved. The tools above are the taste; the app is the toolkit.
