SipstarsPoint your camera at any wine label, or search by name. We pull up the wine's tasting profile.
Swirl, smell, and pick the aromas you detect from the grid. No cheating. Trust your nose.
See how many you got right, earn your rank, and save the wine to your cellar.
One person opens a tasting room and gets a six-letter code. Only the host does this.
Everyone joins from their own phone, with an account or as a guest. No app to install.
The host adds a wine, everyone plays it together, then the next one. Scores add up across the whole evening.
Perfect for a dinner, a five-bottle tasting, or a birthday. The room stays open all night, so you never resend the link.
Sipstars is a free wine aroma game. You scan a wine bottle (or search for it), then try to identify the wine's signature aromas by smell: a fun, social way to learn wine tasting and train your nose, solo or with friends.
Almost everything you "taste" in wine is actually smell. Your tongue only senses five basic things (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, savoury) while all the character, the cherry, the pepper, the oak, reaches you through your nose even as you sip. So whether you sniff or drink, it's your nose doing the work.
Pick a wine, tap "Taste with friends," and share the room link or QR code. Everyone tastes the same wine at once, and a live leaderboard shows who has the sharpest nose.
