How to create and run a tasting.

Initial setup

When creating a tasting, define the name, number of wines, display mode and evaluation method. This setup controls what each taster sees on the phone.

• Blind: you choose the theme. The labels stay for the end.
• Blind with known labels: the labels appear in a list, but you do not know which wine is in each glass.
• Double-blind: labels and theme are hidden. Wines appear only by number, with no context about the tasting set.
• Visible-label: wine identities are visible to tasters from the start.
• Score mode: each wine receives a score on the selected scale.
• Ranking mode: each taster orders the wines by preference.

Wines and labels

Each wine is the physical number on the table. The label is the real identity, with name, producer, vintage, region and other details that preserve the record.

AI scan helps fill label data from the camera. The identification can be reviewed and corrected before saving, especially when the image is dark, tilted or partly covered.

This feature requires the organizer to be logged in.

Tasting PIN

After creation, BlindRank generates a PIN and a QR code to share with the table. The taster joins on their own phone, without installing an app and without creating an account before entry.

The PIN sends each person to the right tasting. In blind tastings, wines remain identified only by number.

Progress tracking

The organizer tracks who has sent an evaluation and who is still missing. This avoids checking paper sheets and helps decide when to close the evaluation step.

The goal is to keep the table moving. Each taster evaluates independently and BlindRank consolidates the responses.

Result and reveal

When evaluation ends, BlindRank forms the group result based on the chosen method. The organizer decides when to reveal the labels.

The tasting stays saved for later, preserving wines, evaluations and the group ranking.
