Vivino: Buy the Right Wine 17+

You need Vivino!!

I tell everyone I know about this app. I tell my friends, my family, my boyfriend’s friends and family, and cashiers at liquor stores. I wanted to get more into accurately describing the wines I drank, and also to have a better predictor for what i will like rather than going by the liquor store’s listed wine ratings(which are just promotional anyway). I tried going by basic principles of what regions usually make good specific types of wine, and that was an epic fail. I tried one expensive bottle in an attempt to ~culture~ myself that ended up tasting like someone drank half of it and filled it back up with water so no one would know. So not very appealing.

Moral of the story: i live by this app now. I try to rate most of the wines i drink to boost my ranking on it, but also to understand better what i do and don’t like in a wine. And I’m HOOKED on the new feature that gives you a percentage prediction for how much you’ll like a wine based on past input. And it even tells you when you need to decant a wine or let it breathe for a while before drinking it! There’s also cool little “classes” that give you information on new types of wine, and wine challenges to broaden how many Californian Cabernets or whatever you’ve tried.

This app will change your drinking life. And it will make you feel fancy. I can’t believe it’s free.

Takes the guess work out of wine buying.

Update to below original rating: I used to love this app but now the functionality of this app is completely useless and does not work at all. The app has been declining over the last year with pop ups and slow load times. As of the last month or two Scanning a label is now impossible!!! Sometimes I’m lucky and it just takes a solid 3 minutes to load however 98% of the time the scanned picture does not load at all. I believe they are not accommodating the free app anymore and trying to get folks to upgrade. I’ve contacted the app directly but no one has been able to help or give a solution to the problem after much back and forth.
************** I use the Vivino flavor/character scale to decide on all wines I buy. Now I know if hits on the scale the characteristics that I’m looking for then 99% of the time I will enjoy the wine without fail. I love reading about the wine and the regions too. This app has come a long way since I first downloaded it years ago... I was reintroduced to it last year and can’t live without it now.
