Practice wine tasting—even without wine. AirBlindTasting is an “air blind tasting” learning app for training your ability to identify grape varieties and regions without opening a bottle. Read clues about appearance, aroma, acidity, tannins, and flavor, then choose from four options. Each session can take as little as one minute. No bottle to open. No glasses to wash. Practice on your commute, during lunch, or before bed. ■ Recommended for: ・Wine Expert and Sommelier exam candidates ・Wine lovers who want to improve grape identification ・Anyone who struggles with blind tasting ・Those who want to understand regional differences ・People who want a quick daily wine-study habit ■ Main Features 【1】Grape Variety Blind Identify the grape from four choices using clues from color, aroma, acidity, tannins, and flavor. Results appear immediately. 【2】Grape Variety & Region Blind Identify both grape and region. Even Chardonnay can show very different characteristics in Burgundy and California. 【3】Weakness Training Questions focus on varieties you previously answered incorrectly. Repeat confusing grapes until they become easier to distinguish. 【4】Weakness Analysis Recent results are analyzed automatically. Frequently missed varieties and accuracy rates show you what to practice next. 【5】Study Mode Includes 40 grape varieties and major regions. Search by grape name and review typical characteristics. 【6】Skill Radar & Statistics Visualize your ability across five areas: Grape Identification, Region Identification, Consistency, Winning Streak, and Play Count. The app also tracks accuracy, total tastings, highest score, and correct-answer streaks. Gain XP, level up, and grow your rank badge. 【7】Weekly Rankings Compare scores in Global and Local rankings for this week and last week. 【8】7 Languages 日本語, English, Français, Español, Deutsch, 한국어, 简体中文. ■ Included Grapes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Tempranillo, Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Carménère, Aglianico, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Albariño, Assyrtiko, Aligoté, Arneis, and more. Regions include France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Greece, the United States, Chile, Japan, and more. ■ For Exam Preparation Wine tasting exams require quick decisions based on limited clues. AirBlindTasting helps train knowledge and recall speed. Start with Grape Variety Blind Add regional differences with Grape Variety & Region Blind Use Weakness Training for confusing varieties Check the Skill Radar for remaining gaps Use it alongside real tasting practice to make each bottle more effective. ■ Simple to Use Open the app, choose a challenge, and select one of four answers. No registration or login is required. ■ Why “Air” Blind Tasting? Improving at blind tasting requires repetition. Real tasting is essential, but opening bottles takes time and money. Air blind tasting lets you repeat the reasoning process without consuming wine. This app is not a replacement for real tasting. Learn the patterns in the app, then confirm them with real wine. ■ One Minute a Day ・3 questions on your commute ・1 set during lunch ・Weakness Training before bed ・Region practice before a wine event Frequency matters more than the length of one session. ■ FAQ Q. Can beginners use it? A. Yes. Every question has four choices and explanations. Q. Can it help with certification exams? A. Yes, as a complement to tasting practice. It does not guarantee a passing result. ■ Important Information ・This app does not require alcohol consumption. ・Tasting notes are educational and do not evaluate specific producers or wines. ・Wine style can vary by vintage, producer, and aging. ・In Japan, alcohol is for people aged 20 and over. Please drink responsibly. One minute today can change the glass you taste next month. Start with one question.
