Sensium

The Sensium loop

How it works

One reasoning loop, four focused workflows, and Premium coaching layers that close the wrong-answer feedback gap.

Sensium is a blind-tasting coach for serious wine students. Daily Train drills sharpen the confusion pairs that actually trip serious tasters; a 1,534-grape Atlas keeps the catalog scan-first; Compare returns a single decision rule per pair; Blind takes your evidence and returns a ranked, defendable shortlist. Premium adds SAT Rebuild, timed Exam Mode, and Coach Memory cross-device sync — built for sommelier-track and WSET candidates, while the Atlas is just as useful with a glass in hand when you simply want to understand what you're drinking.

The loop

Four workflows that compound

Each step strengthens the next, so practice time turns into call quality.

  1. Train

    Daily 5-minute drills built around the confusion pairs serious tasters actually miss. Every miss is captured by Mistake Replay — tomorrow's session re-asks the same kind of question on the same grape until the bug becomes the curriculum.

    • Active recall with adaptive review
    • Mistake Replay closes the wrong-answer loop
    • Coach quizzes on aromas, processes, and regions
    Open Train

  2. Grapes

    A scan-first atlas of 1,534 grape varieties. Every dossier leads with the blind tell — color, signature aromas, structural fingerprint — not the encyclopedia. Filter to your Top 5, 10, 25, or 50 to drill against the catalog scale you can actually hold.

    • 1,534 editorially-sourced grape dossiers
    • Blind-tell-first layout (color, aroma, structure)
    • Catalog scope: Top 5 / 10 / 25 / 50 / All
    Open Grapes

  3. Compare

    Pick any two grapes and get a Fast Call — one decision rule that resolves most calls in under five seconds. Structure pillars and signature aromas sit side by side; common confusions and the false-positive trap are named explicitly.

    • Fast Call: one decision rule per pair
    • Structure + aroma side-by-side
    • Named false-positive traps
    Open Compare

  4. Blind

    Log structure and aroma evidence — color, acidity, tannin, body, alcohol, signature aromas. Sensium returns a ranked, defendable shortlist with confidence reasoning. You can defend the call on an exam, not just guess at it.

    • Evidence-driven ranked candidates
    • Confidence-aware reasoning per call
    • Second-opinion + deduction history
    Open Blind

Premium coaching layers

What unlocks with Premium

Four mode-shifting upgrades on top of the free daily loop. Built for the candidate who actually has an exam date.

SAT RebuildReconstruct a grape's full structural profile from memory at Foundation / Classic / Master difficulty. The structured-recall warmup that closes the gap between recognition and reproduction.
Exam ModeTimed Foundation / Classic / Master sittings with a deduction grid and a scored conclusion. Tracks personal bests per tier and feeds the weekly leaderboard.
Coach MemoryCross-device blind history across iOS, Android, and the web. Pick up where you left off on any device, and let the coach personalize tomorrow's drills based on yesterday's misses.
Mistake ReplayAuto-targeted practice on the exact grapes and confusion patterns you got wrong. The mistake becomes the next session, until it doesn't.

Session blueprint

A high-signal blind session in three beats

Designed to keep momentum without sacrificing reasoning quality.

ObserveCapture structure and aroma evidence before jumping to varietal assumptions.
SeparateUse Compare's Fast Call to eliminate likely confusions in seconds.
CommitEnter your blind call with confidence framing, alternatives, and rationale in one pass.
Tip: Use the Compare module mid-session whenever your top two candidates land within one or two points of each other. A single separator check usually resolves the call.
