What is Uncorked - My Wine Journal?
Remember every wine, favorite the ones you love, and save the moments that made them unforgettable. Don’t log your wines like a spreadsheet—Uncorked helps you capture the story behind the bottle, with smart collections, saved wines, photos, and no ads.
Problem
Wine enthusiasts currently use spreadsheets or basic apps to log their wines, focusing on data (e.g., region, vintage) without capturing the stories, memories, or visual context. This approach lacks emotional connection and personalized organization, leading to impersonal records and difficulty recalling meaningful details.
Solution
A digital wine journal (mobile app) where users capture the story behind the bottle with smart collections, photos, and ad-free organization. For example, they can save tasting notes, attach photos of wine labels or memorable moments, and categorize wines by themes like "Summer 2023 Trips" or "Favorite Reds."
Customers
Wine enthusiasts, collectors, and sommeliers who value storytelling and want to document their wine experiences beyond technical details. Demographics: adults aged 25-55, higher income, frequent travelers, and social sharers.
Unique Features
Story-first logging (vs. data-first), photo integration, ad-free experience, and AI-powered smart collections that auto-organize wines based on user-added tags or themes.
User Comments
Finally a wine journal that feels personal! Love adding photos of dinners where I drank the wine. I stopped using spreadsheets after this. Collections make it easy to find favorites. No ads is a relief. Wish it had a community feature.
