Choose any owned or shared rack to open first, and its tab stays first too. Move one bottle onto another occupied position to swap them in one step. PLAN A TASTING FOR LATER Set a future date and time for a shared tasting. Guests can join before it starts, then rating and the reveal open together. Adjust the schedule any time before the tasting begins. ALSO NEW - Filter your Journal by private keeper labels, including wines no longer in your cellar. - Bottle quantities and unplaced totals stay clearer and up to date after edits. - Wine names and vintages display more cleanly and are easier to correct. - Opened-bottle prompts keep their actions and show earlier tasting history. - WSET Level 3 study and practice coverage has been reviewed and expanded.

YOUR WINE HISTORY, RECONNECTED Scan a familiar bottle and find your earlier tastings, even when accents, spacing or punctuation on the label are read differently. RATE ONCE, KEEP GOING A rating saved in Journal or a tasting now clears the matching opened-bottle reminder. You no longer need a second entry just to remove that bottle from To rate.

SOMMELIER EXAM PREP JOINS SOMMO Prepare for the Court of Master Sommeliers Introductory Sommelier Certificate with study guides, flashcards, practice questions and timed mock exams. This new Premium track covers theory and launches with English study content. Find it alongside WSET, with each awarding body in its own section. YOUR FIRST JOURNAL ENTRY, SIMPLER Start with a rating for your first wine, including a bottle you have just opened from your cellar. Notes, date, purchase and venue sit under optional Details, ready when you want them. SAT Notes are still there when you want to go deeper. MORE OF THE WINE'S STORY Sommo now follows up on scans with missing producer, terroir or ageing details, including wines already in your history. Empty story headings are hidden when there is nothing to show. SMOOTHER TASTINGS Flavour tags stay in place as you choose them. In shared tastings, your latest choices no longer jump back when an earlier save finishes. ALSO NEW - Short answers in practice and chapter quizzes can be graded again. - An empty cellar makes Scan a Wine and Add by Name easier to find. - Scanner and cellar links keep you headed to the right place after sign-in.

SOMMO NOW SPEAKS JAPANESE Choose Japanese and keep your whole wine journey in one language. Sommo's app, wine regions, grape guides, WSET lessons and practice, and fresh scan insights are now available in Japanese. ONE HOME FOR EVERY TASTING Solo tastings, nights you host and shared tastings you join now live together. Start or join from one place, add each pour in the same room, and keep ratings and insights flowing through one clear experience. READ A WINE THROUGH TIME Wine Detail now separates terroir from vintage. Open How it may evolve to see how aroma, structure and maturity may change across a wine's Drinking Window. ALSO NEW - Completed tasting insights are easier to find and generate. - Japanese characters render cleanly on shared wine cards. - WSET study and localisation received another accuracy pass. - Continued accessibility, stability and security hardening.

PLAN THE RACK, THEN MOVE IT FOR REAL Choose one clear goal: bring ready bottles forward, group wines by type, or close the gaps. Preview the whole route without changing your rack, keep any bottles you do not want moved in place, then work through the checklist one physical bottle at a time. Each tick records only the move you just made. If the rack changes elsewhere, Sommo stops the old plan and asks you to make a fresh one. ONE WINE, ONE TRUSTED STORY Review matching producer and region corrections before applying them across your wines. Stored back-label evidence can now support an explicit detail refresh, while anything you confirmed still wins. Wine Detail also brings identity, sensory evolution, food pairing and your private note into one coherent view. JOURNAL THE CONTEXT THAT MATTERS Record what you paid, the currency and where you bought a wine. Mark Buy next, Favourite and House wine independently, without replacing your quick rating or sharing those private choices. A new To rate view gathers opened bottles still waiting for your verdict and lets you rate them in one tap. WSET THAT TEACHES BEFORE IT TESTS Level 3 now teaches deeper reasoning and a richer SAT tasting note before assessment. Short written answers are easier to find, and Level 2's core black grapes and regional blend partners are clearer across study and practice. ALSO NEW - Legacy cellar Drinking Windows carry forward, with sensory checkpoints that explain how a wine may evolve. - Market estimates and what you paid stay clearly separate across Cellar and Insights. - Wine-specific food pairings now stay consistent wherever you open them. - Continued accessibility, stability and security hardening.

A WINE RECORD YOU CAN TRUST Keep front-label, back-label and bottle photos together without breaking the wine's history. Sommo now separates what the label showed, what you confirmed and what it inferred, so you can correct and order grape varieties with confidence. When corrected details need rebuilding, you see a quiet update state and a retry only if something goes wrong. SHARED CELLARS, PERSONAL JOURNALS Add your own tasting from a bottle someone opened on a shared rack. Dismissing that reminder now affects only your Opened list, while every member keeps their own ratings, prices and notes private. Owners can also assign clearer rack roles, and members can act only within the access they were given. SHAPE THE WALL AROUND YOUR CELLAR Switch bottles upright for clearer labels, tap a slot to reach every bottle in its depth, and insert a new row exactly where you need it. Rack settings now also include Export this rack, giving owners a focused CSV or Excel copy without leaving the cellar. ALSO NEW - Replace a wine's primary label photo without losing its Journal, cellar or tasting history. - Corrected white and rosé SAT feedback no longer asks for tannin. - Typed wine saves keep honest unknowns instead of inventing an identity. - Bergerac now resolves to the right region. - Continued accessibility, stability and security hardening.

YOUR CELLAR, YOUR CALL Set the Drinking Window you trust for any bottle and Sommo will keep your choice. When you leave the estimate to us, its confidence is now clear. You can also correct a wine type from the wine or Journal detail screen, and later reviews will not overwrite it. EVERY POUR GETS ITS OWN STORY Log the same wine more than once on the same day, each with its own rating and notes. A lunch glass and a dinner glass no longer compete for one Journal entry. SHARED RACKS, SHARED MOMENTS Open a bottle from a rack you joined and continue into your own Journal. Everyone sharing that rack can see who poured it in Opened, while personal ratings, prices and notes stay private. A SAFER WAY BACK TO PREMIUM If a renewal is late to verify, Sommo checks again before removing access. Previously paying members see Restore Purchases and support first, helping you recover the subscription you already have instead of buying again. READ THE WINE WALL Zoom towards a shelf and the camera now lowers to look into it, with bottle names appearing when you get close. Pinch zoom stays anchored under your fingers, deep slots respond bottle by bottle, and new placements use the first free lane. ALSO NEW - Cellar value now sits in a calmer band, pairing paid value with a market estimate and clearer bottle coverage. - Unplace one bottle directly from wine details. - The WSET study card on Today no longer disappears after a temporary loading failure. - Continued accessibility, stability and layout polish.

ONBOARDING HOTFIX This update fixes an issue in onboarding.

BETTER LABEL CORRECTIONS Correct a wine's name, producer, and region together, with changes carried through your journal and cellar. Rack panels now show regions too. SMOOTHER EVERYDAY FLOWS Purchase & Notes scrolls cleanly, bottle sizes are clearer and announced by screen readers, scan scores sit where expected, and WSET prep appears before your first study session. ALSO: accessibility, stability, and layout fixes.

YOUR CELLAR, YOUR RULES Choose any rack as Main, the place bottles land when you do not pick one. Racks now start one bottle deep and can run up to twelve. Zoom into the 3D wall and scroll to its outer edges, keep a selected bottle lit while you read its details, and see what your cellar is worth beside the bottle count. OPENED, READY TO RATE Opened bottles have their own view beside the wall and list. Filter everything you poured by All, To rate, or Loved, see which rack and slot each bottle came from, and leave a one-tap verdict without opening the full journal form. OPEN TONIGHT, CLOSER Tap the bottle on Today to open its full record, with its food pairings already in view. Open Tonight can now rank bottles from the racks you choose, so tonight's answer can come from the shelf in front of you. PREMIUM, SHARED WITH FAMILY Premium now honours family sharing through your app store for up to five family members. When your access comes from someone else's purchase, Sommo labels it clearly and points subscription management to the purchaser. SCANS GET A SECOND LOOK A complete label scan still lands immediately. Sommo now checks its wine colour and drinking window in the background, preserves your own corrections, and flags uncertain results instead of forcing a guess. ALSO NEW - One Wine Tasting entry on Today leads to a clearer hub for solo tastings and Tasting Parties - Opened-bottle verdicts now say exactly what each thumb and heart means - Today and Explore headers stay clear of the status bar while you scroll - Continued stability, security, and performance improvements

SOMMO 2.0 The biggest release in Sommo's history: the whole app redesigned around five tabs (Today, Cellar, Scan, Journal, Explore), set end to end in one editorial language. Nothing you knew is gone; it is just findable now. TODAY OPENS ON A BOTTLE The first screen now answers the question you opened the app with: what should I open tonight? A bottle you own that is ready now, the wines approaching their peak, your study thread, and your insights, one glance from the cork. THE CELLAR BECAME A WALL Your racks render as a real 3D wall. Orbit it, pinch in until the name labels read, and long-press a bottle to drag it to a new slot by hand. Glass takes the colour of the wine inside, foil collars carry each drinking window, and racks now run up to three bottles deep, nose to tail. A tappable legend explains every mark, with an illustrated guide behind it. ONE PAGE THAT KNOWS YOUR PALATE Taste DNA and your Wine Character reading have merged into Your palate: the six-axis radar up top, your archetype and patterns underneath, all drawn from your journal rather than a quiz. SEARCH EVERYTHING One search box across your wines, journal entries, regions, and grapes. ALSO NEW - Scan opens camera-first, with a Scan | Recent toggle - The paywall, settings, and every sheet reskinned in the new language - Continued stability and security hardening - Bug fixes and performance improvements throughout the app

KNOW YOUR CELLAR AT A GLANCE Filter your cellar by wine type, country, or grape, each with a live count of what you actually own. A stats row across the top shows how many bottles of each type you hold, and tapping one filters straight to it. Sort by wine type or country, and record a bottle size on any bottle, with quick picks for Half, Standard, and Magnum. SHARE A WHOLE RACK Share any rack from its settings and send the link. Whoever opens it gets the rack copied into their own cellar, bottles and grid positions intact, as a rack they own outright. This replaces the shared household cellar, which asked you to keep a second, separate list. Sharing a rack and importing one are both Premium. TASTING PARTIES, REBUILT A party now works the way Wine Tasting Mode does. Scan the flight card or search by name to build the flight, rate on cards that show grape, region, and score, and add flavour tags as you go. Past parties sit in your Wine Tastings list, so you no longer need the code to get back in, and every guest can save their own ratings to their journal. COMPARE PALATES WITH A GROUP Mix Palate now holds up to eight tasters behind one code. See an axis-by-axis breakdown, who sits closest and who is furthest apart, and the wines everyone agrees on. Pair for us returns the same pick cards you get from a menu scan. PAIRINGS THAT ADMIT WHEN NOTHING FITS If nothing in your cellar really suits the meal, Sommo says so instead of forcing a confident answer, then suggests two or three styles worth buying with a rough price band. You can also narrow a pairing to a single rack. SEARCH THE WINE MAP Look up any region by name or country instead of panning across a thousand pins. Pick a result and the map flies to it and opens the detail, whether you have explored it or not. Marco, Abby, and Daniel, thank you for your feedback. You shaped this release. ALSO NEW - Scan a wine you have tasted before and the result shows your verdict and the date - An A-Z index of grape varieties under Learn, searchable, with the popular ones pinned on top - Missed questions open for review the moment a WSET quiz or mock exam ends, misses first - Insights shows what your cellar is worth as a subtotal per currency, with an honest count of how many bottles are priced - Journal forms suggest venues you have logged before and fill in the location with them - Cold storage on a rack or a bottle, the first storage setting that extends a drinking window instead of shortening it - SAT Notes opens the tasting wizard straight away, and the quality scale now runs from Faulty to Outstanding - Share a scan or an everyday journal entry as a wine character card - Select and copy any wine description, tasting note, or piece of AI feedback - Continued stability and security hardening

SHARE A TASTING NOTE Tap Share on a journal entry with a tasting note and Sommo builds a clean SAT card: Appearance, Nose, Palate, and Conclusions. Send the image and link; friends open a Sommo card page and can save it to their journal. SHARE A BOTTLE FROM YOUR CELLAR From any bottle in your cellar, tap Share bottle and send a link. Anyone who opens it can save the wine to their journal or add it to their own cellar. HOST A SHARING PARTY Start a party, invite friends with a code or link, and build a flight together. Guests rate as they go. Turn on Blind tasting and reveal ratings when you are ready. Everyone can save their ratings straight to their journal. Hosting needs Premium; joining is free. A CELLAR FOR THE HOUSEHOLD Create a Shared Cellar, invite your household, and manage one bottle list together. Your personal cellar stays yours. Creating needs Premium; joining is free under the owner's Premium. MIX YOUR PALATES From Taste DNA, compare with a friend. Both of you need a few journal entries. See where you agree, where you disagree, and share the comparison card. Premium unlocks Pair for us: describe the meal and get wines that work for both of you. EXPORT MY DATA Open Profile and tap Export My Data for your journal, cellar, scans, and tastings as CSV or Excel. Premium members can also generate a designed PDF cellar book to print or keep. ALSO NEW - Shared links unfurl with a rich card preview in Messages and chats - Stability fixes across Sharing Party, Shared Cellar, Mix Palate, and share-card minting

YOUR WINE RACK, NOW WITH DEPTH Store more than one bottle in a single slot. Stack bottles front to back, see a small count on any full slot, and tap to step through the stack. When a slot is already taken, choose Place behind or Swap with front bottle, so a deep cellar finally fits the way you actually store it. ONE CLEAR WAY TO PLACE AND MOVE Placing and moving bottles is one obvious flow now. An unplaced bottle offers Place on rack and walks you straight through it. A bottle already on the rack offers Move. No more guessing which picker you are in. STORAGE CONDITIONS PER RACK Tell Sommo how each rack is stored and your drinking windows follow. Set conditions for a whole rack, override a single lot when you need to, and every bottle's readiness updates to match. PAIR FROM THE RIGHT BOTTLES Ask for a food pairing and narrow it to the bottles that are ready. Pick from the ones at their peak or drinking soon, and skip the ones that need more time in the cellar. FASTER COUNTS, CLEARER LABELS Adjust how many bottles you own right on the detail card with a plus and minus stepper. The old Edit button is now Purchase & notes, so it is clear where price and tasting notes live. Abby and Dan, thank you for your amazing feedback. You made this version possible. ALSO NEW - Undo an opened bottle any time until you rate it, with a Recently Opened space that always stays put - Clearer rack controls: labelled Sort and Filter, plus Unplace and View Wine Details on the grid - WSET tasting notes follow the Level 3 lexicon: Oak now sits under Secondary Aromas, with a new mineral group for flint, wet stones, and wet wool - Faster, smoother rack edits, and the usual round of fixes

Bug fixes and performance improvements throughout Sommo.

BEYOND THE BOOKS Studying for WSET? After your second practice, quiz, mock exam, flashcard deck, chapter drill, or cheatsheet review, Sommo walks you through label scanning, your journal, and your cellar if you have not tried them yet. Skip the wizard and a dismissible banner on your level hub nudges you until you scan a real bottle or explore elsewhere. SAT TASTING NOTES, FIXED Advanced Entry now marks the Palate section complete when you fill any of its fields (Acidity, Body, Tannin, Sweetness), not just one proxy, so progress no longer sticks at 3/4. The save button stays pinned above the keyboard in the tasting-note wizard and journal form. ALSO NEW - Translation and formatting polish across supported languages - Continued stability and security hardening

YOUR MAP, CAUGHT UP Open the region map and Sommo backfills every region you have already logged in your journal, so explored countries light up without scanning again. Matching for US appellations is sharper after a label scan. WINE RACK REFINEMENTS Tap a bottle on the Wine Rack for a cleaner overlay: View Wine first, Open Bottle when you are ready, full-width buttons that fit long translations, and tap outside the card to dismiss. FEWER STALE REMINDERS Retired notification schedules left pending alerts on some installs. Sommo clears anything it is not actively sending when you launch or return to the app. ALSO NEW - Faster map opens with smarter journal sync - Translation and stability improvements across the app

Routine improvements, bug fixes, and translation improvements.

YOUR WINE STORY, IN ONE PLACE Open Insights from your Profile, or tap See your insights at the top of your Journal or Cellar. Sommo charts your patterns (activity, ratings, colour mix, favourite grapes and regions), and with Premium adds an AI read on what to try next. Flip between Journal and Cellar when you both log and collect. CHARTS FIRST, AI WHEN YOU ARE READY The dashboard paints immediately with your stats while the narrative card loads in the background, so you are never stuck on a spinner. Tap any grape or region chip to open the same info sheet as after a scan. WHAT SOMMO NOTICED ON GRAPES AND REGIONS Every grape and region sheet now adds what Sommo noticed from your journal and cellar, plus similar wines to try tuned to what you already love. Premium connects your history to the next bottle worth exploring. DRINKING WINDOWS YOU CAN TRUST Recent purchases no longer show up as past their peak, and declining wines get their own cue separate from bottles that are genuinely over the hill. When Sommo is unsure, the label softens to May Be Past Peak. Tap the info button for a plain guide that explains vintage vs purchase date, and edit the vintage on any bottle if the label was wrong. JOURNAL INSIGHTS AT THREE ENTRIES Your journal insights and AI narrative unlock after three logged wines now, the same threshold as Wine Character Reading and Taste DNA. CELLAR BOTTLES LOAD FASTER Open a bottle from wine details or deep in a long cellar list and Sommo pages straight to it, with clearer errors if something goes wrong. ALSO NEW - Fixed a paywall flicker when opening Insights - Continued performance and stability improvements

YOUR CELLAR ON A REAL RACK Open Wine Rack from your cellar and see every bottle lying on wooden shelves, colour-coded by type with the foil showing its drinking window. Drag bottles to rearrange, tap to open details, and jump to a bottle from its page with View in Wine Rack. MULTIPLE BOTTLES, ONE WINE You can now stock several bottles of the same wine and place each one on the rack individually. Unplaced bottles stay in your list until you slot them, and the All Racks overview shows every shelf at a glance. FIND THE RIGHT BOTTLE FASTER Tap View in Wine Rack on any bottle's page and Sommo spotlights its slot with a gentle highlight. Open an unplaced bottle from your list and Sommo takes you straight to the one you chose. ALSO NEW - Recently Opened keeps bottles you have just uncorked handy for a quick rating - Continued performance and stability improvements

DRINKING WINDOWS, REBUILT We have rebuilt how Sommo judges when a wine is at its best. The too-young, ready, and past-its-peak read on every bottle is sharper now, and each bottle's page adds vintage intelligence on how strong the growing year was. You see at a glance which wines to lay down and which to pour tonight. OPEN TONIGHT A new pick on your cellar ranks the bottles most worth opening now, by readiness, not by meal. Flip on "include drink-soon bottles" to widen it to wines just past their peak that you should enjoy before they fade. WINDOWS THAT LEARN YOUR PALATE Rate the bottles you open and Sommo nudges future windows toward how wine actually tastes to you. Drink a wine you love while it is young, or hold out for more age, and the estimates shift to match. SET HOW EACH BOTTLE IS STORED Tell Sommo whether a bottle sits somewhere cool and steady or warm and swinging, and its window tightens to match. Warm, changeable storage ages wine faster, and now your windows know it. HOW THE WINDOWS WORK Tap the info button on any drinking window for a plain-language guide: the four stages a wine moves through, what Sommo weighs (structure, grape, region, vintage, producer, winemaking), why some windows are wider than others, and what it can never know about your exact bottle. ALSO NEW - Cellar cards show the producer and badges more clearly - Continued performance and stability improvements
