BottleJockey recommends picking either red or white (or rose or sparkling), but don't mix and match. Choose a price and ensure the bottles you or your guest buy are of a similar range… the least expensive not being less than half of the most expensive. (For example bring a bottle between $10-$20 or for a different event between $25-$50). You can refine from there.
Offline Tasting Notes allow you the ability to keep all your tastings (even non-blinded) in one location with one format. Use the app while at a home, a restaurant or group event where you are enjoying wine outside of a BoJo party. You will still know which were part of a blind tasting event. Hopefully you'll identify wines you might want to share with friends during your next blind-taste challenge.
Yes… Provided bottles, funnels, and pour spout are properly cleaned internally within 24 hours after an event. Once sanitary, bottles need to be thoroughly dried by hanging upside down in a dishwasher or bottle drying rack (i.e. Fast Rack). Leave in Fast Rack or rebox, right-side up after fully dried. If unused for over two weeks, rinse sanitary bottles with very warm water and hang to dry several hours before event.
Collective (Popular) taste will always be the byproduct of individual taste. Popular taste can be a shortcut toward determining individual taste… but is not foolproof. Resources are limited so it can help with exploration by directing toward or away from options to scope in or out. (Cream rises: There is much more potential that any single individual will prefer the Godfather over Bad Grandpa or Ishtar. If you've never seen any of the three, wouldn't you try the fan favorite over two others that are routinely panned?)
There is more noise than ever in the world. Everyone has a voice and an opinion - including bodies of people like academies, panels and corporations. Don't let other voices, commercials, apps tell you what to love… - Discover your own Truth.
Yes. For an event up to 10 (Including the host) BottleJockey is free to use. Just print out silks and barcodes from your home computer.

the
uniform containers (clean: bottles, large cups, decanters, etc.) you

Bojo Silks are made from organic knit cotton. They are durable and machine washable. They will last for a long time. Because BottleJockey cannot ensure that every user will properly clean and sanitize BoJo bottles we do not advise they be re-used. Bottles are made from sustainable glass and can be recycled, Bottle and Silks make great party favors.
No. Kits are available as a ready to go option, but they do require shipping lead time. Silks and barcodes can be downloaded from the app for no charge. The downloadable option allows for parties to be created instantaneously. You just need wine, friends, uniform serving containers and a computer printer.

Which wine is the ___________?
Check your guest list a day after sending the invite. Note friends that are still "Awaiting Acceptance". Consider contacting them outside the BottleJockey invitation just in the event they overlooked the email or it was blocked. Ask friends to please download the app and complete the free to minute sign-up process ahead of the event. Ensure you have ordered a kit and it will arrive on time or have the kit printed out and ensure you have one clean/sanitized container of proper capacity for each bottle you plan to taste. Ensure the event will be played in an area with adequate wifi or cell service.

With a Premium Membership you can have up to 20, but a bottle of wine has approximately 25 ounces, so you are cutting it pretty close with 1 ounce pours max.
