Why another wine app
An average rating is a fact about other people.
A wine rated 4.2 by fifty thousand strangers tells you it is competently made. It tells you nothing about whether you will enjoy it — you may not like the grape, the oak, or that much tannin on a Tuesday.
Gioia works the other way round. It learns the structure you gravitate towards — body, tannins, acidity, sweetness, alcohol — and scores each wine against that, not against the crowd.
A taste profile built from what you rate
Rate the wines you drink and Gioia builds your Pourtrait: where you sit on body, tannins, acidity, sweetness and alcohol, refined with every rating you add.
After a handful of wines the pattern is already sharper than any list of favourite grapes. It notices the things you would not think to say about yourself.

Ask for a bottle and get a real answer
Ask in plain language — something for grilled lamb, a white to open tonight, what suits a guest who only drinks red — and Gioia answers from the wines you actually own.
Every suggestion comes with the reason behind it: why this bottle, why now, and where it sits in its drinking window.

And a bottle the whole table agrees on
A Circle blends the taste profiles of everyone in it into a single group palate, then scores the bottles on hand against that shared profile.
It settles the question nobody enjoys asking at a dinner: whose wine is this actually for.

Scan any label, anywhere
Point the camera at a bottle in a shop, a restaurant list or your own rack. Gioia identifies the wine and returns producer, vintage, region, grapes and tasting notes.
Then the part that matters: a match score against your palate, so you know whether this particular bottle is for you before you pay for it.
Questions about the app
How is this different from other wine apps?
Other apps rank wines by what everyone thought. Gioia scores them against your own taste profile, built from the wines you have rated, so two people scanning the same bottle can get different answers.
How many wines before it knows my taste?
A handful gets a usable profile, and it keeps sharpening from there. You can also answer a short set of questions at the start so the first recommendations are not cold.
Does it work in a restaurant or a shop?
Yes. Scan a label or a wine list and you get the wine's details plus how well it matches your palate — which is the useful thing to know standing in front of a shelf.
What does the wine app cost?
Scanning, your cellar and your taste profile are free on iOS and Android. A few advanced features are part of an optional paid upgrade.
It also runs your cellar
Everything Gioia learns about your taste applies to the bottles you already own — with drinking windows, so nothing is found two years too late.
