Circles — now in Gioia
Find the bottle
you all agree on.
A Circle blends the palate of everyone at the table into one taste profile, then scores the bottles you have against it. No more guessing whose wine this is.

Your Pourtrait
It starts with your own palate.
Every bottle you rate teaches Gioia something. Body, tannins, acidity, sweetness, alcohol — your Pourtrait is the picture that comes out of it, and it keeps sharpening as you drink.
It's what makes a recommendation yours rather than an average. And it's the piece a Circle blends when you're deciding together.
Circles
One taste profile
for the whole table.
Everyone in a Circle keeps their own palate. Gioia reads all of them at once — body, tannins, acidity, sweetness, alcohol — and finds the overlap. Where you agree, where you don't, and which bottle sits in the middle.
The blended palate
Three people, one radar. Each member's preference sits as a dot on every axis, so you can see at a glance that you all lean full-bodied and nobody wants it sweet.
Picks everyone will love
Every bottle shared with the group gets a match score against the blended palate — and the plain truth underneath it: 3 of 3 will love it.
Start a Circle in seconds
A couple, a supper club, a whole tasting group. Own it or join it — the palate updates as people come in.
Plan the evening
Set an occasion, everyone brings a bottle, and Gioia pairs a wine to each course — sealed dishes still get a hint.
Share the bottles you want to
Your cellar stays yours. Add a wine to the Circle when you want the group to see it — pick it from your cellar or just search for it.
Occasions
A wine for every course, agreed before anyone arrives.
Date Night, Friday tasting, the annual blind. Gioia writes the pairing list from the bottles your Circle actually has — and any course or wine can be added as a surprise: it stays sealed for the others, who still get a hint of what is coming. Afterwards the evening lives in the group's history.
Your cellar
Everything you own, and when to drink it.
Scan a label, it's in
Vintage, producer, region and drinking window filled in for you. Filter by colour, sort by vintage, find any bottle in a second.
Insights that warn you early
Bottles past peak, value at risk, how fast you buy versus how fast you drink. The bad news arrives while you can still act on it.
Habits and gaps
Rosé is 3% of the cellar and 20% of what you drink. Gioia notices patterns like that and tells you before you run out.
Ask Gioia
The sommelier who has read your cellar.
Ask what to open tonight and you get three bottles you already own, each with its drinking window, why it suits your palate, and a straight recommendation at the end. Answers come from your cellar and your Circle's taste, not a generic list.
Questions
What is Gioia?
Gioia is a wine app for iPhone and Android. Scan a label to identify any wine, keep your whole wine collection in one place, and get recommendations built on your own taste.
Can I manage my wine cellar with it?
Yes. Gioia is a wine cellar app: it tracks every bottle you own with vintage, producer, region and drinking window, and warns you which bottles are past their peak before you lose them.
How does the wine taste profile work?
Rate the wines you drink and Gioia builds your Pourtrait — body, tannins, acidity, sweetness and alcohol — then uses it to score new wines and tell you what you will actually like.
What is a Circle?
A Circle is a shared group in the app. It blends the taste profiles of everyone in it into one group palate, so you can find a bottle of wine the whole table agrees on.
Does it work for wine tasting groups and dinner parties?
That is what Circles are built for. Set an occasion, everyone brings a bottle, and Gioia suggests a food and wine pairing for each course from the wines the group actually has.
What does Gioia cost?
Gioia is free on iOS and Android — scanning, your cellar and your taste profile cost nothing. A few advanced features — like detailed cellar insights — are part of an optional paid upgrade, so you only pay if you want them.
