Our platform allows a winemaker to put their tasting notes and details about their wine into our platform so that wine consumers can compare their experience with the winemaker to learn about wine tasting, feel more connected to the wineries they love, and can share the experience with their friends in real time. The business benefits by understanding what their on- and off-prem customers think of their wines, for free.
