The Sensium loop

How it works

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

Sensium is a blind-tasting coach for curious enthusiasts, wine students, and sommeliers alike. Path walks the most-planted grapes in order (Catalog Focus defaults to Top 10). Train drills sharpen the confusion pairs that actually trip tasters; a blind-tell-first grape Atlas keeps the catalog scan-first; Compare returns a single Quick Call per pair; Coach leads with learning tools for aromas, regions, processes, and Mistake Replay — with optional Blind Lab when you have a wine in hand. Premium adds SAT Rebuild, timed Exam Mode, and Coach Memory cross-device sync — built for exam-track prep, while the Atlas is just as useful with a glass in hand when you simply want to understand what you're drinking.

The loop

Five workflows that compound

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

01
Path
Follow Continue through the most-planted grapes (Catalog Focus defaults to Top 10). Jump anywhere; nothing is locked. Path is the syllabus; Train stays the gym.
- Most-planted order, not an exam-body syllabus
- Continue, or jump — nothing is locked
- Free; SAT on Path uses the shared Premium meter
Open Path
02
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
03
Grapes
A scan-first grape atlas — drills default to Top 10; widen anytime. 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.
- Editorially-sourced grape dossiers (Top 10 drills by default)
- Blind-tell-first layout (color, aroma, structure)
- Catalog scope: Top 5 / 10 / 25 / 50 / All
Open Grapes
04
Compare
Pick any two grapes and get a Quick 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.
- Quick Call: one decision rule per pair
- Structure + aroma side-by-side
- Named false-positive traps
Open Compare
05
Coach
Pick a coach tool to learn aromas, regions, winemaking processes, and the mistakes you keep making. Mistake Replay drills your weak spots; Coach Memory syncs progress across devices. Blind Lab stays optional for live ranking when you have a wine in front of you.
- Coach tools for aromas, regions, and processes
- Mistake Replay for your weak spots
- Optional Blind Lab when you have a wine in hand

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 — Your progress shows where you struggle; Mistake Replay is where you drill it.

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 Quick 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.
