SWRL
Guided wine tasting · iOS

Most wine apps tell you whether a wine is good. SWRL teaches you why you think so.

Photograph any bottle and SWRL walks you through tasting it — then builds a profile of what you actually like.

How it works

01

Snap the label

Photograph the bottle, front and back. SWRL identifies the wine and builds a tasting guide for it.

02

Taste it properly

Colour, aroma, palate, one step at a time, with coaching on what to look for and what each level actually feels like.

03

Learn your palate

Every tasting sharpens a profile of what you like. Not what critics like.

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.
