Tasting Notebook helps you taste wine, beer, and sparkling drinks with more structure, whether you are tasting alone or with a group. Create blind or open tastings, score each glass, record aromas and flavors with the tasting wheels, add bottle photos, save locations, and compare your notes with bottle information. Taste together with a QR code Start a shared tasting and let participants join by scanning the code. Everyone rates the glasses independently. When the host finishes, the group sees the favorite bottle, averages, and the glass that divided opinions most. Individual ratings remain anonymous in the group result. Understand your own taste Your personal taste profile is built from your ratings, grapes, countries, aromas, flavors, and structure. It explains recurring preferences and helps you compare future tastings. Choose the right bottle Describe or photograph a dish to receive pairing ideas from bottles you have tasted and suitable new styles.
