Taste Like a Pro
Without the Snobbery

You don't need a fancy certification to understand wine. You just need to know what to look for. Our Quick Tasting Guide walks you through every sip.

The 4 Steps

It's not magic, it's mindfulness. Here's how our app guides you through the glass.

1
👀

Look

Color, Clarity, Intensity

Is it pale like straw or deep like ruby? The appearance hints at the grape variety and age.

2
👃

Smell

Fruit, Earth, Oak

Swirl to release the aromas. Close your eyes. Do you smell cherries? Butter? Wet pavement?

3
👅

Taste

Sweet, Sour, Bitter

Let it coat your tongue. Acidity makes you drool. Tannin dries your gums. Sugar tastes... sweet.

4
🤔

Verdict

Balance, Finish, Quality

Put it all together. Is it balanced? Does the flavor last? Would you buy a bottle?
