22 December 2009 - 17:56Wine.com Releases An iPhone App

Wine.com has recently released a free iPhone app for wine enthusiasts on the go, allowing users to access listings, varietals and recommendations from everywhere in the world! Okay, maybe not everywhere, but wherever there’s service at least.

The new app lets you research and buy from Wine.com’s vast database of 45,000+ wines, with the ability to save wines in your “Cellar,” keep track of your favorite bottles, and even create wish lists. The app also serves sort of as a mobile encyclopedia of wine providing ratings and reviews on the go. This is a great step forward for the website, especially with the growing number of wine enthusiasts out there. I see this as a very practical app especially when you’re out trying to order wine, noting a great wine you want to buy later, or trying to figure out the best wine to buy under a budget. While the functions are fairly limited at this stage, Wine.com is expected to include more features in the coming year such as food and wine pairings and integration of your Wine.com profile. While Snooth and Corkd have their own iPhone apps, Wine.com’s app stands out from the rest with its ability to buy bottles on the go from its extensive list of wines.
