Learn wine and your own palate
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!
New to wine tasting (paid version)
Blown away
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 🙌
挺简洁有爱的app
很棒的应用
Great UI, but the content needs to be more reliable
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.

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
Must have for anyone with a cellar(s)!
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!
Nothing to Wine about
Missing features
Response from developer
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.
Everything I need in one place to enjoy wine at home, or out in the world!
Une appli au top !
Better than Vivino and Delectable for me!
Sommo is fantastic and my favorite of all the apps I’ve tried! It has correctly identified niche wines that both Vivino and Delectable failed to find. The scanning feature works flawlessly and the graph-style testing notes is the perfect visual companion for each wine to help me understand what makes me like each one.
I highly recommend!
Points d’amélioration
Response from developer
Merci beaucoup pour cette critique détaillée et constructive ! C'est exactement le type de retour qui m'aide à améliorer Sommo. Bonne nouvelle, dans la prochaine mise à jour, vous trouverez beaucoup plus d'informations pour chaque vin scanné : 🏰 Histoire du domaine : un résumé de l'histoire du producteur, sa philosophie et ses réalisations. 📅 Informations sur le millésime : conditions de récolte, qualité du millésime et potentiel de garde. 🪵 Méthode d'élevage : type de fût, durée et technique d'élevage (ex. « 18 mois en barriques de chêne français »). 🌍 Notes de terroir : composition des sols et influence du microclimat sur le caractère du vin. 💰 Fourchette de prix : une estimation du prix de vente au détail pour mieux vous repérer. 🍷 Suggestion de service : température idéale et type de verre recommandé. Concernant la prise en charge d'autres langues ; c'est sur ma feuille de route. Je développe Sommo seul, donc ça prend un peu plus de temps, mais c'est une vraie priorité à mesure que l'application grandit.
