# Taking the wine taste quiz

Five questions that build your personal taste profile and unlock personalized wine recommendations.

The quiz runs once after you set up your profile. It takes about 2 minutes and produces an 8-dimension taste profile that Pablo uses to rank every wine it recommends to you — no wine knowledge required.

## How it works

The quiz is a short conversation with Pablo. Each question appears as a chat message, and your answer options slide up in a panel at the bottom of the screen. A progress bar at the top shows where you are.

## Your taste profile

After the fifth answer, Pablo builds your taste profile across 8 dimensions:

**Sweetness · Body · Tannins · Acidity · Fruitiness · Floral · Earthy · Spicy & Herbal**

The result is displayed as a radar chart on the completion screen. This chart is also visible on your Profile tab and overlaid on every wine card Pablo recommends, so you can see at a glance how well a wine matches you.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your profile isn't static. Every time you like a wine and tell Pablo what you enjoyed about it, your taste profile evolves with your palate. The quiz is just the starting point.
{% endhint %}

## Skipping the quiz

Tap **Skip** in the top-right corner at any point to go straight to the app. Pablo will still work, but recommendations won't be personalised until you complete the quiz or rate a few wines.

You can take the quiz later from **Profile → Settings → Reset Taste Profile**, which replaces your current profile with a new one.
