About Stimanda

Stimanda is a wine tasting app. It guides you through a structured tasting, one question at a time, at the depth you choose, and keeps every tasting for you to read back.

Stefano Peduzzi: Weinakademiker and educationalist. The idea, concept and content of Stimanda.

Stefano Peduzzi is an expert in pedagogy and trains teachers at every school level. He is a Weinakademiker, with a thesis on «Modern Wine Education», and teaches for the Académie du Vin. Stimanda brings the two worlds together and relies on objective methods of tasting: a wine is not scored on gut feeling but receives an objective grade and description, based on the criteria professionals use to assess and describe wines. The app also guides, step by step, those who cannot yet tell an objective tasting from a subjective one, and it aims to be a point of reference for checking that a wine has been assessed correctly and objectively, not according to personal taste.

What it is for

learn the method of tastingEach question can explain itself, with drawings, until you no longer need the help.
judge a wine reliablyEvery level, even the shortest, rates quality by the same criteria, so the result means something.
respect for the wine, its producers, their place and their culture
drink less, but betterWine is not a healthy drink, and Stimanda is about tasting attentively, not about the amount.
