About Somme: Wine Matched to You

What Is Somme: Wine Matched to You

Somme is a personal sommelier that lives on your phone. Instead of reading a shelf of labels and guessing, you point your camera at a bottle, and the app identifies it, explains what's inside, and tells you whether it fits the flavors you already like. It's built for drinkers who want better bottles without hiring a professional or memorizing grape varieties.

The idea is simple. Most people don't have a vocabulary for wine, so they grab the same two or three labels every time. Somme turns that guesswork into a taste profile it builds over time. The more you use it, the sharper the recommendations get.

A few limits are worth knowing up front. It's an iOS-only app, so Android users are out of luck for now. Recommendations depend on a solid photo of the label. Ditto for deep personalization, which works best after you've rated a handful of wines. Treat it as a smart companion, not a replacement for a real bottle in front of you.

Getting Started

  1. Download Somme from the App Store and create an account.
  2. Set up a basic taste profile by picking the wine styles you tend to enjoy.
  3. Scan a bottle label with your camera to identify the wine and see its details.
  4. Rate the wines you drink so the app can match future suggestions to your taste.
  5. Browse personalized recommendations or ask for a pairing before your next dinner.

Key features

Label Scanning With Image Recognition

Point your camera at a wine label and Somme identifies the bottle for you. This wine label scanner reads the details most people can't decode, like the region, grape, and style, then turns them into plain language. That means you can walk into any shop and understand what you're looking at.

Personalized Recommendations

Somme leans on what you've rated to suggest bottles you'll actually like. These personalized wine recommendations come from a taste profile built on your feedback, which adjusts as your preferences shift. The more you rate, the less you think about the next purchase.

Wine Insights in Plain Language

Each bottle comes with context that goes beyond a marketing back label. Somme tells you what to expect and how the wine tends to drink. It's the kind of background a sommelier would give you at a restaurant table.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Before dinner, you can ask Somme what to drink with what you're eating. This wine matching app pairs bottles to dishes, so you don't have to guess whether a red works with fish. Handy when you're cooking something new or ordering off a menu you don't know well. No shame in asking.

Taste Profile That Grows

Your profile isn't set once and forgotten. Every rating feeds back into the model, so recommendations reflect your actual habits rather than a generic average. Over a few months, the app knows your palate better than most shop clerks do. That's the whole point.
