## What is Decant?

You don't need to know wine. You just need to know your own taste.

Most people drink plenty but can't say why they like what they like. Decant turns every glass into a clue — log what you drink, understand the flavors, and one pour at a time, build a taste profile that's genuinely yours.

No pretension, no snobbery. Just a wine-savvy friend helping you go from "that was nice" to "I know exactly what I like."

= What Decant does for you =

• Log your tastings
Keep track of the wines, whiskies, sake, and cocktails you drink. Rate them, jot down what you noticed, or tag flavors in a tap.

• Understand your palate
Every entry feeds your taste profile — the flavors you lean toward, the styles you keep coming back to, getting clearer the more you log.

• Scan a label
Snap a bottle to quickly learn what it is and how it tastes, then save it to your log in one tap.

• Venue Map
Tag where you drank each pour and help build the smartest wine-venue map around. Craving a peaty whisky? Filter by flavor to find who pours it nearby. Plus "Decant Picks" — editor-curated venues worth the trip.

• Your cellar
Everything you own, have tried, and want to try — all in one place.

= What we stand for =

Your ratings are always yours — never for sale, never affecting rankings. We care about you understanding your own palate, not who drinks the most.

### 5/5 — learning tool, not just a wine logger

*2026-08-21*

Most wine scanners just give you a rating and a price. This one breaks down acidity, tannin, body, serving temp and food pairings, so much more useful if you’re trying to actually learn something.

### 4/5 — Great but could be better

*2026-08-21*

Scanned a slightly scuffed label under bad restaurant lighting and it still picked it up in a second or two. Only thing missing is a saved list for bottles I’ve tried — would be a five star with that.
