SommScope: The Wine Trade Tasting Platform
Replace clipboards and paper sheets with a professional digital tasting experience - and turn every event into actionable market intelligence.
Mobile-First Tasting
Buyers score wines, capture notes, and log voice memos — all from their phone. No paper, no clipboards, no chaos.
Distributor Analytics
See which wines scored highest, which buyers were most engaged, and who requested samples — in a real-time dashboard.
QR Code Event Entry
Generate a scannable QR code for any event. Buyers scan, download the app if needed, and land directly in your tasting — no friction.
Automated Buyer Reports
Every attendee leaves with a professional PDF of their tasting notes, scores, and requests. Zero work for you.
The Platform
Built for Both Sides of the Table
Tasting Workflow
Structured Evaluation
Score wines on a 1–5 scale, capture structural analysis (acidity, tannin, body), tag flavor notes, and record voice memos that transcribe automatically with AI.
Analytics
Market Intelligence Dashboard
Distributors get a full analytics suite: top-performing wines, buyer engagement heatmaps, score distributions, sample & quote request funnels, and emerging wine signals.
Buyer Experience
Professional Buyer's Reports
Buyers generate a polished PDF report of their entire event — organized by winery, with scores and notes — shareable directly from the app.
Why SommScope
Turn Every Tasting Into a Data Asset
Every event you run through SommScope builds a layer of behavioral and preference data that gets more valuable over time. Know which wines have momentum, which buyers are your best leads, and what your market actually wants — not just what they say they want.
For Distributors
Your events are generating data. Are you capturing it?
Most distributors leave every tasting event with a stack of paper sheets and a vague sense of which wines did well. SommScope gives you structured, exportable data from every pour — so your follow-up is faster and your buying conversations are sharper.
Wine Performance Trends
Track how individual wines score across multiple events. Spot rising stars, sleepers, and declining SKUs before they show up in order data.
Buyer Behavior Tracking
See dwell time, revisit patterns, shortlists, and score revisions — not just final scores. Understand how buyers engage, not just what they chose.
Sample & Quote Pipeline
Buyers flag sample requests and quote inquiries directly in the app. You get a clean, actionable list after every event — no more lost sticky notes.
How It Works
Up and Running in Minutes
Create Your Event in 60 Seconds
Add your event details, upload your wine list by winery and table, and set your access code. SommScope generates a QR code you can print or share digitally — that's it.
Buyers Taste, Data Flows
Attendees join via QR code or access code, then move through your event scoring wines, capturing notes, and flagging samples and quote requests in real time. Everything syncs automatically — even offline.
Analytics + Reports, Instantly
The moment your event closes, your analytics dashboard is live. See top-scored wines, most active buyers, and a full sample/quote request pipeline. Every buyer gets their personal PDF report — no manual follow-up required.

FAQ
Common Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about how SommScope works, what's included, and what it costs — before your next tasting event.
Who is SommScope for?
SommScope is built for wine distributors who host professional trade tasting events. Buyers — sommeliers, wine directors, and retail purchasers — use the mobile app for free to log tasting notes and generate their own reports.
Do buyers need to pay or create an account?
Buyers download the SommScope mobile app for free and join events via a QR code or access code provided by the distributor. No subscription, no credit card, no payments.
What does the analytics dashboard include?
The Pro dashboard includes wine performance rankings, buyer engagement metrics, behavioral data (dwell time, revisit patterns, score revisions), sample and quote request funnels, demographic breakdowns, and emerging wine signals — all exportable to CSV.
Are there long-term contracts?
No. SommScope uses event-based pricing — you pay per event, not per month. Bundle packs are available if you run multiple events per year, with an 18-month credit window.
What happens if a buyer doesn't have cell service at the venue?
SommScope is built for real-world tasting environments. The app queues all activity locally and syncs automatically when connectivity is restored — including AI transcription of any voice notes recorded while offline.
