Punt: Wine Sommelier

Photograph a wine label. Punt works out what the bottle is, then tells you its story: the place it comes from and why it tastes of it, who makes it, how it's made, and what to notice while you drink. Then you can ask. Every fact opens into another one, and it keeps going as long as you do. No bottle in front of you? Type a name instead and you get the same thing. Say what you thought with three glasses: poured full, a taste, or turned over. That's the whole rating system and it's enough. Add a note by typing it or saying it out loud. Punt draws an engraved plate and a picture of the wine's world for your first twelve bottles, free. A one-time purchase lets Punt keep drawing after that. Reading labels and keeping bottles stay free and unlimited. After a handful of bottles, Punt starts telling you what it notices about your taste. Every sentence taps through to the bottles it counted, so you can check its work. It'll also name real wines to try next, and each one tells you which of yours it follows from. No account needed and no sign-up. No feed, nothing to scroll. Sign in with Apple if you want to — it's optional, and every part of Punt works either way. Punt holds no account on any server. Your library is stored on your phone; selected photos, audio and wine facts are sent when needed for recognition, transcription, drawings and suggestions. The Privacy policy link in Settings explains what leaves your phone and who receives it. A punt is the dimple in the bottom of a wine bottle. Here it's also the button you press.
