FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Wine Night free to use?

Yes — every new account gets one free hosted tasting. After that, you can pay $2.99 per additional tasting or upgrade to Wine Night Pro ($4.99/month or $39.99/year) for unlimited hosting. Joining a tasting is always free.

How many people can join a tasting?

Up to 50 participants per session. Everyone scores in real time and Wine Night handles the live sync across every device.

Do my guests need to create an account?

Yes — guests sign in with email, Google, or Apple before joining via PIN. This lets us save tasting history to their account so they can revisit results later in the Past Tastings section.

What is blind tasting mode?

In blind mode, wine names and labels are hidden during scoring so participants rate each wine on its own merits without bias. The host reveals each wine's identity after scoring closes. Read our blind tasting guide →

How does the scoring system work?

Wine Night uses a weighted 100-point scale: Appearance (15), Aroma (25), Palate (40), Label (10), and Finish (10). Palate carries the most weight because it's the most direct measure of how much you enjoyed the wine. Full breakdown →

What does the AI sommelier do?

After your tasting, our AI generates a fun group summary highlighting consensus favourites, plus a personalised taster profile for each participant — what styles they gravitate toward, what to try next, and a practical pro tip for their next bottle purchase.

Can I download the results?

Yes. Every host can export results as a high-resolution PNG (great for sharing on Instagram) or as JSON if you want the raw data for your own analysis.

Can I cancel my Pro subscription?

Yes — cancel anytime. You keep Pro access until the end of your billing period, then revert to the free tier automatically.

Is my data private?

Yes. Sessions are gated by a 4-digit PIN and only authenticated users can access them. Your tasting data is never shared with third parties.

What devices does Wine Night work on?

Any modern phone, tablet, or laptop with a browser — iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows. There's no app to install. Just open winenight.fun.
