## What is Sip?

Sip is the wine rating and profiling app I always wanted: completely free, fully native, and built to feel fast. There’s no account to create, no subscription, and no web wrapper. Just rate the wines you drink, keep simple notes, and build a clearer picture of your taste over time.

As you log more wines, Sip turns your ratings into an easy-to-understand personal profile. You can unlock taste summaries, track your structure preferences across body, acidity, tannin, sweetness, and oak, and spot the styles that consistently land well for you. Rate the same bottle again whenever you revisit it, then see every tasting, vintage, rating, and note together without losing the individual history.

After each rating, Sip can show how that bottle changed your profile and how its prediction compared with what you actually thought. Sip also shows your favourite and least favourite grapes, useful fun facts like your favourite producer, vintage, region, country, bottle, and drinking day, and a world map so you can see the regions you keep coming back to.

You can compare tastes with a friend by sharing a private Taste QR. Sip compares derived taste signals rather than journal entries, wine names, or notes, then shows where your preferences align and differ across wine types, grapes, and structure. You can also share an individual bottle using a private Sip link that carries no rating, notes, or provider identifiers.

Sip also helps before you buy or order. You can search for a wine, scan a barcode, take a bottle photo, scan a restaurant wine list, or scan a shop shelf, and Sip will predict how much you’re likely to enjoy it based on your taste profile. Shelf Scan ranks confidently identified bottles that have reliable shelf positions. Wine-list scans can show useful menu predictions first, then let you confirm the exact bottle before enriching or saving it. Each prediction includes an estimated rating, reasons why it looks like a match, a confidence level, and rich bottle details like flavours, food pairings, structure, and map context when available.

Whether you’re choosing a bottle in a shop, ordering in a pub, or staring at a wine list, Sip helps you answer one simple question: what do I actually like?

- Rate wines quickly and keep tasting notes
