## What is Gioia?

Gioia knows your palate, not just the crowd's — so every pick feels like it was made for you.

Gioia learns your palate and finds your perfect wine match — not the crowd's verdict. Your wine. Your match. Your Pourtrait.

WHAT IT DOES:
• Taste Profile: build your personal taste profile — your Pourtrait
• Match Score: see how well any wine matches your taste, not the average
• Label Scanner: instant tasting notes, pairings and your match score
• Gioia: your built-in AI sommelier, always on call
• Cellar: track, value and organise your wine collection
• Circles: plan wines for the whole table, built around everyone's taste
• Pairings: food and wine suggestions built around your palate
• Recommendations: wines you'll actually love, not wines everyone likes

YOUR POURTRAIT — YOUR TASTE, MAPPED
Rate wines and Gioia figures out exactly what you like: favourite regions, grapes, and aromas, plus where you land on body, acidity, sweetness, tannins, and alcohol. After five wines, your match scores are 100% yours. No crowd data. No averages. Just you.

YOUR PERSONAL MATCH SCORE
Every wine gets a match percentage against your taste — not the world's. 81% doesn't mean it's a great wine. It means it's great for you. Big difference.

SCAN ANY LABEL OR MENU
Point your camera. Get instant tasting notes, pairings, ageing potential, and your personal match score. Know before you pour.

GIOIA — YOUR AI SOMMELIER
Ask her anything: what pairs with dinner, which bottle from the wine list, what to try next. She knows your cellar. She knows your taste. She answers like a knowledgeable friend — not a search engine.

YOUR CELLAR, ORGANISED
Log bottles with a label scan. Track your cellar's value, drinking windows, and breakdown by region, grape, and style. Never open something too early — or too late.

CIRCLES — WINE, TOGETHER
Create a Circle for any occasion — a dinner party, a tasting, a trip. Gioia blends everyone's taste into one group Pourtrait and helps you plan a menu the whole table will love, not just the host.

FOOD & WINE PAIRING
Cooking something? Hosting someone? Get pairing suggestions built around your taste — not a generic chart.

TWO TIERS. ONE APP.
Enthusiast (free): taste profile, wine tracker, cellar management, label and menu scanner, personalised recs, Gioia access, drinking window alerts.
Connoisseur: unlock the full Gioia experience with no limits, enhanced cellar analytics, real-time cellar value, Permanent Circles, early access to new features. Free 2-week trial.

### 5/5 — Love! Much better than vivino IMO

*2026-04-28, version 1.0.3*

I mainly wanted a tool that would let me scan the labels of wines I really enjoy. I’m not a wine expert so I wanted to learn more about how to articulate what I like and don’t like. This app has been amazing and helping me learn more wine vocabulary, document my favorite bottles, and even set up my own at home seller! So cool. Love it!

### 5/5 — Pourtrait >>>>>

*2026-04-26*

What an amazing app! Gioia is such a cool feature to get tailored advice. Would highly recommend getting this wonderful app! Happy drinking :)

## Frequently asked questions about Gioia

### How does Gioia learn my wine preferences?

Gioia builds your personal taste profile by having you rate wines. It identifies your preferred regions, grapes, aromas, body, acidity, sweetness, tannins, and alcohol levels. After rating just five wines, your match scores become uniquely yours, based solely on your taste.

### What is the difference between the Enthusiast and Connoisseur tiers in Gioia?

The Enthusiast tier is free and includes taste profile building, wine tracking, cellar management, label scanning, personalized recommendations, and basic Gioia access. The Connoisseur tier, available with a 2-week free trial, unlocks the full AI sommelier experience with no limits, enhanced cellar analytics, real-time cellar value, and early access to new features.

### Does Gioia have ads?

No, Gioia does not contain advertisements. The application is free to download and use with the Enthusiast tier, with optional upgrades to the Connoisseur tier for enhanced features.

### How accurate are Gioia's wine recommendations?

Gioia provides a personalized match percentage for every wine against your specific taste profile, not against general popularity. This means an 81% match score indicates the wine is an 81% match for you, offering a highly personalized recommendation.

### Can I use Gioia to manage my wine collection?

Yes, Gioia allows you to organize and track your wine collection. You can log bottles by scanning their labels, monitor your cellar's value, and view drinking windows to ensure you open bottles at their optimal time.

### What kind of food and wine pairings does Gioia suggest?

Gioia offers food and wine pairing suggestions that are tailored to your personal palate. Instead of generic recommendations, it provides suggestions built around what you specifically enjoy, making dining experiences more personalized.

### What devices is Gioia compatible with?

Gioia is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices. It is designed for iOS operating systems and requires iOS 17.0 or later.

### How often is Gioia updated?

The latest version of Gioia, 1.5.1, was released on June 28, 2026. While specific update frequency isn't detailed, this indicates ongoing development and support for the application.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8.3 — 2026-08-28

Not every wine you love ends up in your cellar. This one is for the ones that haven't, yet.
Wines you don't own now have a place to live. Tap the heart on any wine to save it to your wishlist, then open it from the cellar — search it and filter by type just like your bottles, and swipe one away once it's finally yours.
And your cellar sorts by date added. The case you unpacked last weekend sits right at the top, instead of somewhere in the middle of everything you own.
Gioia. Wine made personal.

### 1.8.2 — 2026-08-26

### 1.7.0 — 2026-08-16

Wine tastes better with a table around it. This one is about the people at yours.
Invite a friend. Share your link, and once they join and rate five wines, you both get a month of Connoisseur — free.
Occasions are now planned in conversation. Tap Gioia on an occasion and she opens a chat that already knows the menu, the bottles you've lined up and every guest's palate. Ask why she picked that bottle, ask for something cheaper, or let her add a course and pour for it herself.
Every user rating now has faces behind it. Tap the score on a wine to see each person who rated it and what they gave. The average was never the whole story.
Cellar insights lead with what needs you first, and show the habits behind your buying — what you keep reaching for, and where the gaps are.
And Connoisseur costs a lot less than it did, monthly and yearly. Same unlimited scans, same Gioia.
Gioia. Wine made personal.
