Sommo: AI Wine Scanner

While I love Sommo’s powerful features and attractive design, I first want to call your attention to the privacy features of this app: this app doesn’t sell your data! It is so refreshing not to be the product, unlike most other apps. That alone is well-worth the token price for the premium product. Sommo works great for discovery through individual bottle scans as well as the ability to quickly find gems from an entire shelf in the store or at home. A key Sommo distinction is the dedicated wine AI—this is not a “wine-skinned” chat GPT. This means that with a scan, it gathers more than the usual amount of info about the producer, vintage, and grape, which please my data-focused heart. This app shines when it comes to personal palate discovery as well as learning about wine. The AI learns you as you go (and as you change over time) so it can best recommend how a given wine would hit for you. It suits my needs for my cellaring (I have under 100 bottles). While this is not a social app in the typical way, it allows us to share racks and “mix palates” to find wines to suit us both. I have yet to explore more of the group tasting features, but am looking forward to the experience. Wonderful app!

This app has absolutely saved me! I have felt my wine collection has been out of control for a long time. I tried spreadsheets - too hard to manage. Now, scanning in wine, placing them in cellars that match what I have, so easy! Find a bottle, grab it, open and removes it from inventory. Easy to move bottles in the cellars. Understand what you have, when you should open it and even more, the AI understands your specific tastes! Fantastic app!
