What is the Systematic Approach to Tasting Wine?
The Systematic Approach to Tasting® (SAT) is a method of note taking developed by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust to make tasting notes more objective and comparable.
The methodology breaks down the evaluation of wine, spirits or sake into appearance, nose, palate and conclusion, supported by universal terminology.

The SAT is published at four progressive levels of difficulty in support of the four levels WSET qualifications available. This app has been built for wines at level two making it suitable for those who are new to the SAT method as well as those that have completed WSET courses.

A systematic approach to tasting provides wine tasters with a foundation on which to build and develop their skills. The SAT forms an integral part of all WSET courses.

Founded in 1969, the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) is the largest global provider of wine, spirits and sake qualifications.

Needs improvement. Editing option for notes

The app has its uses although I can’t see myself using it for long without the option of editing notes i have made, as with other reputable wine apps.
Additionally, perhaps allow the option of a full photo view when clicking the ‘photo’ thumbnail so that one can refer to the full wine bottle label uploaded.
I have found it useful during my WSET courses, but look forward to future updates to make it more user friendly

I have registered to use the app but I am not sure if that means my notes are stored on the cloud / viewable on other devices? If not .. this could be another welcome addition

With thanks

App crashes when inputting information

I’ve used the app a few times and previously it had worked well. This week when I tried to input information into a new record the app would crash and force close, losing all information. I tried multiple times but couldn’t get past the aroma stage without the app closing. A shame, I have enjoyed using it in the past. Please fix!

A editable Level 3 version would be even better

The format works well, it helps you remember what to assess, providing prompts. It’s great you can add a photo. It would be even better if it included a WSET 3 version, and you could edit notes after!
