Hello Vino

After you complete a quick survey, your “virtual wine assistant” creates personalized picks you can search through using factors like variety, style, occasion or food pairing.

Tipple

Learn to taste wine like the pros. Submit a photo of what you’re drinking, and the app will guide you through an analysis of what’s in your glass, complete with a final tasting note you can share on social media or save for yourself later.

Wine Events

Discover the best vinous happenings at home and on the go. You can search events worldwide and add things to your calendar. Bonus: There’s exclusive access to  wine getaways and special discounts.

Winery Passport

Earn and record winery visits with virtual “stamps.” It can also offer insight on your local wine scene, book tastings and enroll you in or purchase from wine clubs.

Wine Picker

Wine list woes, no more. Snap a photo of a wine list (or search the app’s catalogue), and you’ll be given the five best wine options based on criteria like meal pairing, budget or preferred style.

CorkageFee

If you’re a fan of BYOB, this is the app for you. Find restaurants that allow you to carry in wine, with information on what the potential corkage will cost or filter by spots with no corkage fee at all.
