What to expect

Community-first

Circles and winery spaces designed around how wine lovers actually share bottles, tastings and recommendations.

Systematic Tasting Analysis

Structured analysis of wine appearance, nose, and palate using a WSET SAT-aligned 6-axis radar chart and 3-tier aroma wheel.

A crafted experience

The same obsession with design and polish that shapes Arc, focused entirely on wine culture.

Reviews & ratings

Share tasting notes and wine ratings, and discover new bottles through a community that actually knows wine.

Your cellar

Keep track of the wines you own — vintages, drinking windows and the notes that matter to you.

Disappearing messages

Conversations can fade on a schedule you choose (IGF), so your chats stay light and low-footprint.

Tasting notes, the systematic way

Read every glass through a structured framework — appearance, nose, palate — and turn each impression into a clean, comparable note you can keep and revisit. An independent methodology, not affiliated with or endorsed by any certification body.

Tonight we opened the Château Margaux 2018. The balance between cedar, violet, and graphite is sublime. 🍇

Curated Wine Database

Academic terroir strata, transect geology, and sommelier reviews curated by the community.

AI-verified tasting assessments

Every wine in Maison Apéro is assessed by AI — and independently re-assessed by a second AI. When they disagree, a senior model arbitrates. The more the community scans, the more accurate the database becomes.

01

First scan — the assessment is born

The first time a wine is scanned anywhere, an advanced AI model composes its full structured assessment from scratch — appearance, nose, palate, quality, drinking window. That craftsmanship takes a moment.

02

Second scan — the cross-check

The second scan is assessed fresh as well — this time by a different AI model. Behind the scenes the two assessments are compared field by field, and if they disagree on anything significant, a senior model arbitrates before the entry is locked in.

03

Every scan after — instant

From then on, everyone gets the verified assessment instantly, straight from the shared database — no wait, no re-generation.

Baza win rozwijana ze sztuczną inteligencją

Maison Apéro tworzy bazę win, w której użytkownicy będą mogli stopniowo gromadzić zapiski, wiedzę i preferencje dotyczące wina poprzez rozmowy ze sztuczną inteligencją. Po uporządkowaniu informacji, które mogą zostać upublicznione, planujemy udostępnić część bazy do przeglądania także użytkownikom bezpłatnym.

How your data is protected

Maison Apéro protects your data with layered, industry-standard safeguards.

  • In transit: all communication with our servers is encrypted with TLS.
  • At rest: data stored on our servers is encrypted with AES-256 (Google-managed keys).
  • Access control: strict server-side security rules limit who can reach your data, and App Check helps ensure requests come from the genuine app.
  • Less data, less risk: with disappearing messages (IGF), message data is permanently deleted after its retention period.

This is not end-to-end encryption. We (and our cloud provider, Google) are technically able to access your content, so please don't use Maison Apéro for anything you need to keep secret from the operator. For private, end-to-end-encrypted messaging, see our separate app Arc.
