How to review a wine

Write your own tasting note on a wine — where the composer lives, what it can hold, and why every review starts private.

A review is your own tasting note on one wine and vintage. Write it in two taps or fill in every field — either way it stays on that wine for good.

🔒 Every review starts Private. Nothing you write is shared with anyone until you tap the badge at the top of the composer and switch it to Public yourself. After that first time the app reuses whichever you chose last, so check the badge before you post.

A review belongs to the wine and vintage, not to a bottle. Drinking the bottle, removing it, or even deleting it permanently leaves your review exactly where it was.

Writing a review

  1. On Collection, tap the wine.

  2. Under Review, tap Write full review.

  3. Check the Private / Public badge beside the wine name.

  4. Tap Say something about the… and type. Transcribe dictates instead of typing, and once you have a draft, Rewrite tidies your own words.

  5. Under What did you think?, pick Disliked, Liked or Loved. Liked or Loved adds a Repurchase checkbox.

  6. Add whatever else you want: Photos, Add location, Sensory notes, and the Structure sliders for sweetness, tannin, acidity and body.

  7. Tap Done.

Nothing on that screen is required. Open the review and tap Edit any time to fill in the rest.

The two-tap version

The same Review row on a wine carries Loved, Liked and Disliked buttons. Tapping one saves a private review straight away with no text — enough to filter and sort on later, and to add to whenever you like.

Reviewing a wine you do not own

You do not need the bottle in your collection. On Explore, tap Create review beside Latest community reviews and search our catalogue for the wine.

The web composer asks for three extra things: a 100-point score, whether the wine is holding, ready to drink or past its best, and a value for price rating.

Not the same as Vincent's Review

Vincent's Review is a tasting note we generate for a wine, not something you wrote — see Meet Vincent, your AI wine assistant.
