🍷 SipScore
The smartest way to taste wine together
SipScore is an interactive wine tasting platform that turns any gathering into a
structured blind tasting event. Hosts set up wines, tasters score them on their
phones in real time, and the results reveal who has the sharpest palate.

How It Works
The host creates a tasting session, adds wines (details stay hidden from tasters), and
shares a session code or QR link. Tasters join on their phones, evaluate each wine
using the scoring grid, and submit their notes and guesses. When the host reveals,
everyone sees the real wines alongside their guesses, rankings, price accuracy, and
a leaderboard of who nailed the blind tasting.
