Most wine apps tell you whether a wine is good. SWRL teaches you why you think so. Guided tasting for any bottle you open.
SWRL turns a bottle of wine into a lesson.
Most wine apps tell you whether a wine is good. SWRL teaches you why you think so.
HOW IT WORKS
Photograph the label — front and back — and SWRL identifies the bottle and builds a tasting guide for it. Then it walks you through the wine the way a sommelier would:
Colour — tilt the glass and match what you see, with coaching on what the hue says about age and style.
Nose — swirl, then find the aromas. SWRL suggests what to look for in this particular wine, with a library of ninety descriptors when you find something else.
Palate — sweetness, acidity, tannin, body, alcohol, finish. Every level explained against something you've actually tasted, so "medium acidity" stops being an abstraction.
YOUR PALATE PROFILE
Every tasting sharpens a profile of what you like — not what critics like. Over time SWRL learns whether you lean toward crisp or soft, light or full, and tells you in plain language.
YOUR JOURNAL
Every wine you've tasted, with your own notes, kept. Plus a share card at the end of each tasting.
HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT KNOWS
When SWRL finds published notes for your exact bottle, it says so. When it doesn't, it says that too and gives you guidance based on the grape, region and age instead. It never dresses up a guess as a fact.
FREE AND PRO
Three guided tastings a month, free. SWRL Pro removes the limit for $6.99/month or $39.99/year.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.
You must be of legal drinking age to use SWRL. Please drink responsibly.
