## What is Sommo?

Sommo is an AI wine scanner, cellar manager, tasting journal and wine school. Scan a label for trusted details, then keep, correct and enjoy every wine in one place.

In the wine aisle, at a restaurant or beside your cellar, identify the bottle and decide what to do next.

SCAN ANY WINE LABEL

Point your camera at any bottle. In seconds, get tasting notes, pairings, serving temperature and a flavour profile. Keep front, back and bottle photos together, correct grape varieties, and refresh details without losing label evidence.

THE 3D WINE WALL

See your cellar as a real wall: orbit it, pinch in until the labels read, and drag bottles between slots by hand. Glass takes the colour of the wine inside, foil collars carry each bottle's drinking window, and racks run up to twelve bottles deep, the way a real cellar stacks. Describe your meal and Sommo's AI picks the right bottle from what you own, with reasoning and alternatives. Share a whole rack by link: a live view, as viewer or editor.

WINE TASTING MODE

At a tasting with a flight of wines? Scan the flight card and AI identifies every wine. Quick-rate each one, add notes and flavour tags, mark favourites. Sommo writes per-wine sommelier reviews and a palate insight for the session.

TASTE TOGETHER

Host a Sharing Party: guests join by code, everyone rates the same flight blind, and the reveal shows who loved what. Compare palates with Mix Palate, up to eight tasters behind one code. Share tasting notes and your Taste DNA as designed cards.

SCAN MENUS & WINE SHELVES

At a restaurant? Scan the wine list for instant scoring and honest picks. Shopping? Scan a whole shelf and find the best value for your budget.

YOUR PERSONAL WINE JOURNAL

Log every bottle with a three-tier rating, or go deep with SAT Notes following the Systematic Approach to Tasting. AI feedback compares your notes against the wine's profile and scores the alignment.

YOUR PALATE & TASTE DNA

One page that knows how you drink: a six-axis Taste DNA radar drawn from your journal (body, sweetness, acidity, tannin, intensity, adventurousness), with your archetype, signature style, and recommendations beneath it. Recent bottles weigh more, so it moves when your taste does.

INSIGHTS

Your journal and cellar patterns in one dashboard: what you rate, what you own, what's ready, what it's worth. Premium adds AI narratives on what to explore next.

WSET EXAM PREP

Studying for WSET Levels 1-4? Flashcards with spaced repetition (flip them, or type your answer and let AI grade it like an examiner), adaptive practice, timed mock exams, AI study plans, and chapter drills.

LEARN WINE LIKE A SOMMELIER

Bite-sized lessons with no pretentious jargon: fundamentals, tasting technique, grape varieties, regions, and pairings.

EXPLORE THE WORLD'S WINE REGIONS

An interactive map of 1,000+ wine regions across 40+ countries, searchable by name, with an A-Z grape index. Your map lights up as your journey expands.

### 5/5 — Learn wine and your own palate

*2026-08-08*

While I love Sommo’s powerful features and attractive design, I first want to call your attention to the privacy features of this app: this app doesn’t sell your data! It is so refreshing not to be the product, unlike most other apps. That alone is well-worth the token price for the premium product.

Sommo works great for discovery through individual bottle scans as well as the ability to quickly find gems from an entire shelf in the store or at home. A key Sommo distinction is the dedicated wine AI—this is not a “wine-skinned” chat GPT. This means that with a scan, it gathers more than the usual amount of info about the producer, vintage, and grape, which please my data-focused heart. 

This app shines when it comes to personal palate discovery as well as learning about wine.  The AI learns you as you go (and as you change over time) so it can best recommend how a given wine would hit for you.  It suits my needs for my cellaring (I have under 100 bottles). While this is not a social app in the typical way, it allows us to share racks and “mix palates” to find wines to suit us both. I have yet to explore more of the group tasting features, but am looking forward to the experience. 

Wonderful app!

### 4/5 — New to wine tasting (paid version)

*2026-08-06*

Helping me to taste wine better. I am drinking less and enjoying it more! Buying better bottles. I use the full notes. But the real value is making my own comments. The AI feedback picks them up as well as the WSET notes. Also trying more varieties. Get ideas from Tom Gilby and try them out.

### 5/5 — Blown away

*2026-08-01*

I had given up on the old wine cellar apps knowing there was a better way to use AI and information sources to serve up an experience. I was about to create me own when I came across Sommo. No need to make my own now, this app is quick, super easy to use and setup your cellar, and has no mis-scans, can find ANY wine, I have when to drink and food pairing at my fingertips and that’s just the start of it. 
There’s also tasting flights, journals, education, you name it. 
I’m in the industry and clearly this team are too - they have the whole experience nailed down. Well done 🙌

### 5/5 — 挺简洁有爱的app

*2026-07-03*

入门选手被朋友安利，像是有个红酒指导师的感觉

### 5/5 — 很棒的应用

*2026-07-03*

专业 界面清晰友好

### 3/5 — Great UI, but the content needs to be more reliable

*2026-07-03*

I really like the UI of this app. It includes everything I was looking for in a wine learning app, such as the ability to type in answers and receive automated grading.

However, I’m currently preparing for WSET Level 3, and some of the content seems to be either outside the scope of the textbook or simply incorrect. For example, the app states that Merlot is a late-ripening variety, which is not accurate.

At the moment, I don’t feel I can fully rely on this app for my studies. That said, I would be happy to come back once the content becomes more reliable and more closely aligned with the textbook.

**Developer response:** Thank you for such thoughtful, specific feedback. First of all, I'm glad the interface and the typed-answer grading are serving you well; that mode was a big focus. You're also right to hold the content to a high bar, and you're right about Merlot; it's an early-ripening variety, and that mistake has now been corrected. More broadly, I've just overhauled the WSET Level 3 material: substantially expanded and rewritten the question bank, aligned it more closely with the Level 3 syllabus, rebuilt the mock exams so they stop repeating, and reworked the answer options so the correct choice is no longer simply the longest one. A study tool is only as good as it is trustworthy, so if you come across anything else that looks incorrect or out of scope, please tell; you can reach us through the in-app feedback option (or at support@sommo.app) and I'll personally review and fix it promptly. I hope you'll give Sommo another look, and I wish you the very best in your Level 3 studies. - Gökhan

### 5/5 — Must have for anyone with a cellar(s)!

*2026-06-26*

This app has absolutely saved me! I have felt my wine collection has been out of control for a long time. I tried spreadsheets - too hard to manage. 
Now, scanning in wine, placing them in cellars that match what I have, so easy!
Find a bottle, grab it, open and removes it from inventory. Easy to move bottles in the cellars. Understand what you have, when you should open it and even more, the AI understands your specific tastes! Fantastic app!

### 5/5 — Nothing to Wine about

*2026-04-30*

This app is incredible! My wife and I are wine novices who have wanted to get more into wine, but the barrier to entry always felt a little intimidating. With this app, it feels like we have our own private sommelier wherever we go, minus the usual arrogance and condescension. The label-scanning feature is especially awesome and makes learning about wine actually fun. One of the best and most useful apps I’ve used in years. Thanks for leveling up our wine game!

### 3/5 — Missing features

*2026-04-26*

The only way you can add wines is by scanning them, and the free version only includes 5 scans. I tried it multiple times and was unable to get the scan to actually work. Really wish you could add a wine by text searching. If you don’t have the bottle or a wine list it’s impossible to add. I don’t want to buy the premium version if the dang thing doesn’t work!

**Developer response:** Update: As of version 1.6.6 and onwards, adding a wine by text searching is available. ---

Hi there, adding wines by name is an actively developed feature and soon to be available with no limits. I am really sorry that the scan failed for you, and really appreciate if you can drop an email to hello@sommo.app, it would be my absolute pleasure to help you.

### 5/5 — Everything I need in one place to enjoy wine at home, or out in the world!

*2026-04-21*

This is simply my most used and favorite app. It is so useful, approachable, and easy to utilize immediately. This is my wine sidekick for everything from tasting wine and quickly journaling notes, or planning a dinner party, to organizing and learning more about all the wines I have at home!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.8 — 2026-08-27

SOMMO NOW SPEAKS JAPANESE

Choose Japanese and keep your whole wine journey in one language. Sommo's app, wine regions, grape guides, WSET lessons and practice, and fresh scan insights are now available in Japanese.

ONE HOME FOR EVERY TASTING

Solo tastings, nights you host and shared tastings you join now live together. Start or join from one place, add each pour in the same room, and keep ratings and insights flowing through one clear experience.

READ A WINE THROUGH TIME

Wine Detail now separates terroir from vintage. Open How it may evolve to see how aroma, structure and maturity may change across a wine's Drinking Window.

ALSO NEW
- Completed tasting insights are easier to find and generate.
- Japanese characters render cleanly on shared wine cards.
- WSET study and localisation received another accuracy pass.
- Continued accessibility, stability and security hardening.

### 2.0.7 — 2026-08-24

PLAN THE RACK, THEN MOVE IT FOR REAL

Choose one clear goal: bring ready bottles forward, group wines by type, or close the gaps. Preview the whole route without changing your rack, keep any bottles you do not want moved in place, then work through the checklist one physical bottle at a time. Each tick records only the move you just made. If the rack changes elsewhere, Sommo stops the old plan and asks you to make a fresh one.

ONE WINE, ONE TRUSTED STORY

Review matching producer and region corrections before applying them across your wines. Stored back-label evidence can now support an explicit detail refresh, while anything you confirmed still wins. Wine Detail also brings identity, sensory evolution, food pairing and your private note into one coherent view.

JOURNAL THE CONTEXT THAT MATTERS

Record what you paid, the currency and where you bought a wine. Mark Buy next, Favourite and House wine independently, without replacing your quick rating or sharing those private choices. A new To rate view gathers opened bottles still waiting for your verdict and lets you rate them in one tap.

WSET THAT TEACHES BEFORE IT TESTS

Level 3 now teaches deeper reasoning and a richer SAT tasting note before assessment. Short written answers are easier to find, and Level 2's core black grapes and regional blend partners are clearer across study and practice.

ALSO NEW
- Legacy cellar Drinking Windows carry forward, with sensory checkpoints that explain how a wine may evolve.
- Market estimates and what you paid stay clearly separate across Cellar and Insights.
- Wine-specific food pairings now stay consistent wherever you open them.
- Continued accessibility, stability and security hardening.

### 2.0.6 — 2026-08-23

A WINE RECORD YOU CAN TRUST

Keep front-label, back-label and bottle photos together without breaking the wine's history. Sommo now separates what the label showed, what you confirmed and what it inferred, so you can correct and order grape varieties with confidence. When corrected details need rebuilding, you see a quiet update state and a retry only if something goes wrong.

SHARED CELLARS, PERSONAL JOURNALS

Add your own tasting from a bottle someone opened on a shared rack. Dismissing that reminder now affects only your Opened list, while every member keeps their own ratings, prices and notes private. Owners can also assign clearer rack roles, and members can act only within the access they were given.

SHAPE THE WALL AROUND YOUR CELLAR

Switch bottles upright for clearer labels, tap a slot to reach every bottle in its depth, and insert a new row exactly where you need it. Rack settings now also include Export this rack, giving owners a focused CSV or Excel copy without leaving the cellar.

ALSO NEW
- Replace a wine's primary label photo without losing its Journal, cellar or tasting history.
- Corrected white and rosé SAT feedback no longer asks for tannin.
- Typed wine saves keep honest unknowns instead of inventing an identity.
- Bergerac now resolves to the right region.
- Continued accessibility, stability and security hardening.

### 2.0.5 — 2026-08-11

YOUR CELLAR, YOUR CALL

Set the Drinking Window you trust for any bottle and Sommo will keep your choice. When you leave the estimate to us, its confidence is now clear. You can also correct a wine type from the wine or Journal detail screen, and later reviews will not overwrite it.

EVERY POUR GETS ITS OWN STORY

Log the same wine more than once on the same day, each with its own rating and notes. A lunch glass and a dinner glass no longer compete for one Journal entry.

SHARED RACKS, SHARED MOMENTS

Open a bottle from a rack you joined and continue into your own Journal. Everyone sharing that rack can see who poured it in Opened, while personal ratings, prices and notes stay private.

A SAFER WAY BACK TO PREMIUM

If a renewal is late to verify, Sommo checks again before removing access. Previously paying members see Restore Purchases and support first, helping you recover the subscription you already have instead of buying again.

READ THE WINE WALL

Zoom towards a shelf and the camera now lowers to look into it, with bottle names appearing when you get close. Pinch zoom stays anchored under your fingers, deep slots respond bottle by bottle, and new placements use the first free lane.

ALSO NEW
- Cellar value now sits in a calmer band, pairing paid value with a market estimate and clearer bottle coverage.
- Unplace one bottle directly from wine details.
- The WSET study card on Today no longer disappears after a temporary loading failure.
- Continued accessibility, stability and layout polish.
