YOUR CELLAR, REIMAGINED: NAMED RACKS, AS MANY AS YOU NEED Wine doesn't live in one place. Now your cellar doesn't either. Create a rack for every spot you actually store wine (Fridge, Cave, Dining Room, basement), each with its own name and its own grid. Switch racks from the chip strip above the grid, or open All Racks to see every shelf at once. Move bottles between racks with a single tap. A SHARPER POST-SCAN VIEW Scan a wine and Sommo instantly tells you what you already know about it: how many bottles you have, exactly where they're racked ("Cave · Row 2, Col B"), whether it's in your journal, and how many times you've scanned it before. No more rediscovering bottles you forgot you owned. CELLAR POLISH, EVERYWHERE Next to Open on Home now opens a bottle in one tap, with separate quick-rate and view-details actions and crisp haptics throughout. Pairing suggestions name the actual rack ("Fridge · Row 2, Col B") instead of a generic label. Filter your cellar by unplaced bottles to clean up placement in seconds. ALSO NEW - Two new quick-taste tags: Fresh and Tart - Snappier rack grid, no more empty placements when you have a lot of bottles Huge thanks to Abby, whose relentless cellar feedback drove this entire rebuild: every rack, every label, every move.

WSET PRACTICE, REIMAGINED Type your answers. Get graded by AI. Learn like a real student. WSET practice now has two modes on every flashcard and quiz: Choice (multiple choice) or Type (free-text, AI-graded). Typing forces real recall, the way you'll actually answer on the exam, and Sommo's WSET-examiner AI tells you what you nailed, what you missed, and exactly how to tighten the answer. Every mode now feeds the same study scheduler, so flashcards, quizzes, mock exams, and the new typed mode all push your weakest categories higher in the queue. Two new screens: Mastery and Insights, show your category breakdown, 7-day accuracy trend, and how you split your study time across modes. Quizzes and mock exams now show the correct answer and the examiner's explanation after you submit, never before. Type mode is Premium across all four WSET levels. ALSO NEW: TYPE A WINE NAME (BETA) Label too faded to scan, or you just remember the name? Tap "Type wine name" on the scan screen and Sommo identifies it from your query; confident match, a shortlist of candidates, or a best-effort save when the wine is truly obscure. Same tasting notes, food pairings, drinking window, and journal entry as a photo scan. Huge thanks to Paul, who gave me the idea for typed practice and AI grading.

RECENTLY OPENED, RICHER CELLAR, FASTER AI Pour a bottle and it stays with you. Every wine you open from your cellar now lands in a new Recently Opened section with three quick actions: Rate Now (which drops you straight into your journal), Undo (puts the bottle back), or Dismiss. Save it for later and Sommo nudges you 24 hours later; so you can rate when you've actually tasted, not the moment you uncork. Wines added through Tasting Mode now get the full Sommo treatment in the background: vintage information, drinking window, food pairings, and producer history fill in automatically. No empty cards, no re-scanning. A polished new colour story runs through every screen, wine-colour swatches on cellar and tasting cards, clearer "Young / Ready / Declining" cues, and a calmer brand palette from onboarding to paywall. Plus a faster, smarter scanner: every label read is quicker, more accurate, and uses less data. Performance and stability improvements throughout. Thanks to Abby for the relentless cellar feedback that shaped the new flow.

JOURNAL WITH PLACE & LABEL + TASTING MODE POLISH Your journal remembers where. Log the vineyard, restaurant, or bar for every entry and filter your history by venue. Scanned wine labels now appear inside journal entries, wine details, and the cellar; so every bottle is recognisable at a glance. Tasting Mode is sharper too: - Swipe-to-delete and drag-to-reorder wines in a flight - Expanded flavour tag library and a more compact tag chip - Tap an active rating to clear it - Clearer "add more wines" action Plus: category-aware cellar search (try "white napa" or "sparkling"), a distinct icon for bottles not yet placed in your rack, and a longer 10-second undo when you open a bottle. Huge thanks to Abby for the steady stream of feedback, and to Carolyne for the in-journal wine label request. This release is built on both.

Thanks for using Sommo. This release includes bug fixes and performance improvements, particularly related to the new Wine Tasting mode.

WINE TASTING MODE Log an entire wine tasting flight in minutes. Scan the flight card and AI identifies every wine. Swipe through, quick-rate each one, add notes and flavour tags, mark favourites, and add bottles to your cellar. When you complete a session, Sommo generates a personalised AI palate analysis and per-wine sommelier reviews that cross-reference your tags against how the wine actually tastes. Every tasting becomes a lesson. Also in this update: - List view for quick navigation through large flights - Edit completed tastings and AI insights regenerate automatically - Session metadata editing (venue, location, date, theme) - Performance and stability improvements Thank you to Abby for suggesting this feature. Hope it makes your next tasting even better.

Also in this update: - Full-screen camera with tap-to-focus, flash, and flip - Sort and filter preferences saved between sessions - Performance and stability improvements

YOUR FIRST STEPS, GUIDED A new activation checklist greets you after onboarding; scan a wine, add a journal entry, complete a lesson, and explore a region.

Also in this update: - Streamlined onboarding (fewer steps, guided first scan) - Editable display name in account settings - Security and stability improvements

REARRANGE YOUR WINE RACK All bottles placed? The rack button now stays active. Tap it to enter rearrange mode: long-press any bottle and drag it to a new slot, or drop it on another bottle to swap their positions. A one-time tooltip guides you through the gesture. Tap any bottle on the rack to view its details or remove it from the grid. Also in this update: - Performance and stability improvements

MULTI-BOTTLE RACK POSITIONS Own three bottles of the same wine? Now you can place each one in its own rack slot. Add a wine to your cellar, then assign individual bottles to different positions on your grid. When you open a bottle, Sommo asks which one you're reaching for, so your rack stays accurate. AI food pairing picks now show exactly where each recommended bottle sits on your rack. ARCHIVE & SCROLL YOUR SCAN HISTORY Scan history is now paginated, so you can scroll through every wine you've ever scanned. Long-press any scan to archive it and keep your list tidy. FASTER, MORE RELIABLE MENU EXPANSION Expanding a wine from a scanned menu is now significantly faster and returns proper error messages when something goes wrong, instead of generic failures. Also in this update: - Smarter error handling across cellar and menu features - Performance and stability improvements

SMARTER MENU & SHELF SCANNING Scan a restaurant wine list or store shelf and get 3 curated picks: the best overall, the best value, and the premium choice. Each pick comes with a detailed reason, highlights, and a score so you know exactly why it's worth ordering. Dining out? Tell Sommo what you're eating and the picks are tailored to your meal. Shopping? Select the occasion — gift, date night, dinner party, celebration, BBQ; and Sommo recommends wines that fit. Your taste history shapes every recommendation. The more you scan and journal, the better the picks get. CELLAR GRID IMPROVEMENTS Tap any bottle on your wine rack to see it at a glance: view the wine, or remove it from the position. You can now clear a bottle's grid position without removing it from your cellar. Also in this update: - Smarter journal reminders: multiple scans consolidate into one notification - Richer wine details when expanding picks and alternatives - Improved review prompt timing across more moments in the app - Cleaner display names and paywall presentation - Performance and stability improvements

DRINKING WINDOWS & CELLAR UPGRADES Know when to open every bottle. Every wine scan now includes a drinking window: when to start, when it peaks, and when it's past its best. You'll also see aging potential, storage tips, and a confidence level so you know how reliable the prediction is. Vintage intelligence built in. Each scan now returns a vintage quality rating, a summary of the growing season, character notes, and any notable conditions that shaped the wine. It's context you'd normally need a reference book for. Your cellar, smarter. Cellar wines now show a drinking status: too young, approaching prime, in its prime, declining, or past prime, so you always know what to open next. A new "Next to Open" shortcut surfaces the most urgent bottle at a glance, and a dedicated Drinking Windows view ranks your cellar by urgency. Track what you paid. Record the purchase price and currency for every bottle in your cellar. Prices display in your local format, and the currency picker covers all major options. Grid view for your cellar. Organise your bottles visually with the new grid view. Set your rack dimensions, place wines by row and column, and swap positions with a tap. Bottles are colour-coded by drinking status so you can spot what needs attention at a glance. CORRECT ANY VINTAGE: AI RE-ANALYSES EVERYTHING Scanned a wine and the vintage was wrong? Tap "Change Vintage" on any wine scan or journal entry. Sommo re-analyses the entire wine: the drinking window, peak years, vintage intelligence, quality score, and description all regenerate for the correct year. A 2024 Barolo and a 1994 Barolo are very different wines; now the data matches the bottle you're actually holding. You can also change the region from the same screen. Also in this update: - Edit sheet for cellar wines: update notes, price, and position without leaving the list - Push notifications when bottles enter their prime or start to decline - Improved drinking window timeline visualisation - Smarter badge notifications: compact toasts for common badges, full celebrations for rare ones - Performance and stability improvements

When you scan a wine, you'll now see a lot more detail: the story behind the producer, what made the vintage special, how the wine was aged, the terroir, an estimated price range, and how best to serve it. I also spent time making scans faster under the hood, the AI and backend now work in parallel so you get results sooner. Plus the usual bug fixes and stability improvements.
