Tastingnotes è un’app pensata sia per degustatori professionisti che per semplici appassionati che vogliono conservare le degustazioni effettuate in modo semplice ed intuitivo. Nell'archivio di Tastingnotes sono presenti oltre … referenze di vini con un database in continuo aggiornamento sia da parte dello sviluppatore che da parte dei singoli utenti. Infatti, nel caso in cui la cantina o l’annata di un vino non fosse presente, l’utente può inserirla manualmente, in totale autonomia. Effettuare le degustazioni con Tastingnotes consente di valutare un vino a tutto tondo. Grazie all'interfaccia intuitiva è possibile procedere alla registrazione della degustazione velocemente senza, tuttavia, tralasciare ogni aspetto della degustazione. Si parte dall'aspetto visivo, per poi passare all'analisi organolettica olfattiva e a quella sensoriale gustativa. Le degustazioni sono quindi salvate in ordine cronologico e l’utente può richiamarle in qualsiasi momento. Tastingnotes è quindi utile sia in caso di preparazione dell’esame da sommelier e/o degustatore o, più semplicemente, per approfondire la passione per il buon vino.
