Nevertheless, we think this app is great for when you’re in the supermarket or a wine shop and need help deciding on a bottle or knowing more about a specific wine. However, it doesn’t give you recommendations on when you should drink the bottles by which some of the other apps do. It allows you to add more bottles or remove bottles when you’ve drunk them so it makes it easy to keep track of what you actually have on hand. There is also a Cellar feature on the app where you can add wines that are in your current collection. In other words, just because someone has plenty of followers or a bottle of wine has high reviews, doesn’t always mean you’ll like it. A word of warning though: we suggest only following people you know have the same palate as yourself. Likewise, you can follow specific people on the app to keep updated with their latest reviews. You can easily find friends on the app through your Facebook, Twitter, or Gmail and like and reply to the reviews of others.
