Real bottles, real tables, real scores
Your palate, drawn.
Every wine you rate lands on six axes: body, tannin, acidity, sweetness, oak and fruit. Bin12 lays the wines you loved over the ones you passed on, and the gap between them is your taste.
Never rated a bottle? A 60-second quiz sketches a starter profile. Every pour after that sharpens it, until it can tell you what to reach for next.

An example profile. Yours is built from your own scores.
One bottle. Everyone’s verdict.
Line up the bottles and put a QR code on the table. Friends who have never heard of Bin12 are rating in one scan. Blind, if you want a proper reveal.
Afterwards you see who loved what, where the table split, and the palate of the table itself. Next time you’re cooking for the same crowd, Bin12 picks the bottle all of them will like.

Plan the dinner. Not the spreadsheet.
Put a tasting on the calendar and invite your friends, or your whole tasting group, by email. Everyone answers in one tap and can add it to their calendar.
Lay out the menu course by course. Guests say which bottle they’re bringing, so you don’t end up with three Cabernets. Anyone can add the recipe for the dish they loved. When the food is set, Bin12 suggests what to pour from the bottles you already have.

One rack, shared.
A cellar in Bin12 is a group, not just a shelf: a household, a tasting club, or the friends you split cases with. Everyone adds bottles to the same rack, keeps count as they’re opened, and sees every score.
Friends join with a link or a QR code. The cellar builds a group palate of its own, so you can see where the club agrees and where it splits.

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.
Bring your table.
Bin12 gets better with every person who pulls up a chair. Start your rack today, invite the people you drink with, and never lose track of a great bottle, or a great table, again.
