A smoother tasting
A consistent scorecard guides each pour and produces organized results without loose paper cards.
Every bottle uses identical categories and a labeled scale from first pour to last.
Flavor choices help new tasters, while open notes welcome specific observations.
Structured submissions keep bottle codes, ratings, and favorite votes together.
Choose your format
Choose the right detail, then edit wine names, bottle codes, rating labels, and awards.
Use bottle numbers and collect identity guesses before the reveal.
Use an overall rating, drink-again choice, note, and favorite vote.
Score acidity, tannin, body, balance, and finish for discussion.
Let guests choose a station and wine for each entry.
Build the scorecard
Plan the scoring, test on a phone, and share one link or QR code.
Specify wine count, hidden labels, audience, and judging categories.
Define category labels and endpoints so guests know how to score.
Preview on a phone and confirm codes match the serving order.
Share the link or QR code, then review ratings and votes.
Pick the right scoring depth
More categories do not automatically create better feedback. Choose enough structure to guide the tasting without making each pour feel like an exam.
Field guide
Use six compact sections to identify each pour, guide observation, capture comparable ratings, and finish with a meaningful guest choice.
Wine identity
Start with the wine name or blind code. A dropdown prevents spelling variations from splitting one bottle into several result groups.
Appearance
Ask about color, clarity, and intensity with short choices. Include a numeric rating only when appearance is part of the judging format.
Aroma
Rate aroma intensity and offer broad families such as fruit, floral, spice, earth, or oak. Leave an open note for other impressions.
Palate & structure
Flavor, acidity, sweetness, tannin, alcohol, and body describe different qualities. Show only relevant questions, with consistent endpoints across the flight.
Finish & overall
Ask about finish before the overall score. Explain whether the overall value means enjoyment, technical quality, or both.
Final ballot
Per-wine ratings and final preferences answer different questions. End with a favorite, ranked top three, or event award.

It lets guests evaluate each wine using consistent categories such as aroma, flavor, structure, finish, and overall impression. It can also collect notes, identity guesses, and a final favorite vote.
Use a wine name or code, overall 1-to-5 rating, drink-again choice, tasting note, and final favorite. Add aroma, flavor, and finish only if guests want more structure.
Replace names with neutral codes and use identical questions for every pour. Avoid label clues, collect identity guesses before the reveal, and keep the code key hidden until voting ends.
A labeled 1-to-5 or 1-to-10 scale is approachable. Define endpoints, keep the direction consistent, and use the same scale for every wine. Explain category weights if calculating totals.
