## What is palate?

HOW IT WORKS
1. Scan: photograph the wine list and, if you like, the menu. Long list? Capture each page and palate reads them together.
2. Match: tell palate what you're eating and what you'd like to spend. It combines classic food and wine pairing with your own taste.
3. Choose: get three picks, each explaining why it suits you and how it goes with your food.
4. Remember: save the wines you enjoy, rate them and add your own notes. Loved one? Find it online and buy a bottle.

YOUR WINE PROFILE
Take a short quiz and palate builds your wine profile. Every wine you rate makes your recommendations sharper.

YOUR WINE HISTORY
Every scan and saved wine in one place, with a world map that fills in as you discover new regions.

FREE TO USE
palate is free to download, with 3 scans a month, three picks per scan, your wine history and the Essentials quiz. Your free scans refresh at the start of each month, and a photo that can't be read never uses one up.

PALATE PREMIUM
Get more from every wine list:
- Unlimited scans, every restaurant, every night out
- Ask palate anything about your picks ("will this go with the lamb?")
- Not feeling the picks? Refresh for more
- The story behind every wine: grape, region, tasting profile and serving tip
- Tasting notes and pairings for your saved wines
- Know your palate: the palate Premium quiz, your palate Score and palate Evolution

New subscribers can try palate Premium free for 7 days.
