Why “Bin12”?

bin/bɪn/noun

Short for Batch Identification Number — the numbered rack in a wine cellar where a batch of bottles rests until it’s ready. For centuries, merchants and restaurants filed every wine by its bin — which is why old wine lists still read “Bin 4 — Margaux, 1998.”

And twelve? That’s a full case — which is to say, more than one person can drink. A case is meant to be shared.


Bin12 is the numbered rack for your table: every bottle, every pour, everyone’s verdict — kept together.

How it works

Five bins, front to back

It starts with one bottle. It gets good when your people show up.

Rate what you pour

One slider and one question — would you buy it again? Your score lands next to your friends’ on every bottle you’ve shared.

Make it a tasting

Line up the bottles and hand the table a QR code — even friends who’ve never seen Bin12 are in with one scan. Everyone rates as they sip, blind if you like, and the reveal is half the fun.

Get your taste profile

A two-minute quiz gives you a starter profile before you’ve logged a single bottle — bold and jammy, bright and crisp, or somewhere in between. Every pour you rate sharpens it, and your table gets a group profile of its own.

Find the bottle everyone loves

Tell Bin12 what’s for dinner and who’s coming. It blends your taste profile with your friends’ and picks the bottle the whole table will love — from your rack, or as a shopping list for the store run.
