Choose one question for next time
Look through your written exercises. Pick the question that interests you most, such as recognizing acidity, describing an aroma or comparing two grapes. A narrow question gives your next tasting a purpose.
You do not need to taste more often to use the course. Revisit an old note, compare fictional examples or notice aromas while cooking. When you do taste wine, use small pours and choose your own pace.
Keep your record somewhere useful
Your course exercises are stored in this browser when storage is available. Download the workbook to keep a separate copy. Clearing browser data removes the saved course work, and it does not automatically appear in the Corkly app.
A notebook or notes app can be enough. If you want guided tasting, a searchable wine history and help connecting your observations, you can explore Corkly's separate subscription. This free course includes no AI access and asks for no payment.
Ask the AI a specific question
If you subscribe, give the sommelier your actual observations and a focused question. For example: 'I noticed fresh cherry, mouth-watering acidity and little drying grip. What should I pay attention to when comparing a fuller red?'
AI cannot taste your glass. Treat its reply as a suggestion to check against your experience. Verify bottle availability and product details with the seller. Keep the observation you actually made even if a suggestion differs.
Put it into practice
Check your understanding
Choose one question, how you will explore it and where you will keep the note. If you want AI help, write a specific question using your observations.
