Wine App For Those Who are Not Connoisseurs

Vivino_iPhoneIf you are like most people, you enjoy a good glass of wine. But you are not an expert by any stretch to know all the details of a wine like those who live for the next great wine to be found. Most of us just look for a good bottle of wine when shopping and if we do not have any particular recommendation, we buy what looks like a good bottle based on the label. But there are apps which can assist you in that effort based on your own experience.

Like most of us, we do not remember the good bottle of wine that we have a year ago and struggle to try and remember what it was. If you had installed the Vivino app on your smart phone, you would be able to pull that information up and have it at your finger tips. Available for the iPhone and Android smart phones, the app makes it really simple to add information about a wine into it.

Vivino_AndroidIf is so simple, that all you have to do is take a picture of the bottle of wine and then you rate it on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. You obviously would not want to add in wines that you did not like, unless you wanted to make sure that you never purchased that one again.

You can keep it simple like this or you can add other notes to your wine addition. What makes this a powerful tool is that the Vivino app matches the picture you have taken against a database the company has built of wines. That process only takes a few seconds to be accomplished. While they cannot match all of them, they are working in that direction.

With the matched lookup, you can get a wealth of information about the wine. The Vivino WIne scanner is available in a free version and a paid Pro version on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
