What is the Palate DNA quiz?
The Palate DNA quiz is 6 quick questions that reveal your drink personality across four axes — Intensity, Sweetness, Texture, and Adventure. It covers coffee, wine, whisky, and cocktails, takes about 30 seconds, and needs no account.
How many Palate DNA archetypes are there?
There are 8 Palate DNA archetypes: Bold & Smoky, Bright Acid Chaser, Sweet Romantic, Funky Explorer, Smooth Operator, Classic Purist, Zesty Maximalist, and Earthy Minimalist. Each archetype shows your spirit drinks, drinks to try next, and a radar chart of your four flavour axes.
Is the Palate DNA quiz free?
Yes. The quiz is completely free and requires no sign-up or account. Your result is shown instantly after answering 6 questions.
Does the quiz work for wine, coffee, and spirits?
Yes. The Palate DNA quiz is designed to work across all drink categories — coffee, wine, whisky, cocktails, and beer. The scoring axes (Intensity, Sweetness, Texture, Adventure) apply universally.
Can I share my Palate DNA result?
Yes. After completing the quiz you get a shareable link and a downloadable card image with your archetype, radar chart, and spirit drinks.
What do I do with my Palate DNA?
Three of the four axes — Intensity, Sweetness, and Adventure — are the same taste dials inside the Drinkist app. Set them there and Smart Pick uses them to recommend a drink from any menu you photograph, ranked against your own tasting history. You set the dials yourself; the quiz result does not transfer automatically.
