You can also build a feed, where you can follow friends who use the app as well as wine enthusiasts and pros.

The wines you scan are saved to a My Wines list and will eventually build a taste profile, and the app will recommend other wines that fit your profile. You can read reviews from other Vivino users and add your own, but what I find fun and interesting are the winemaker's notes (as in, 'hints of toffee, cherry, fig, chocolate'), vintage comparison (how it stacks up to other years' wines), and food pairing suggestions (beef, lamb, spicy food). In addition to rating and price, Vivino provides notes about the type of grape used in the wine, info about the winery that made the wine and a variety of additional rankings for that wine within its winery, region, country and world. You can also scan the text of a wine list should you find yourself clueless in a restaurant.

It also has more users than any other app (the website says more than 61 million), so you're getting extremely valuable crowdsourced ratings and reviews, even on some pretty obscure bottles.Īfter you take a photo of a label, it gives you an average rating and price so you know if you are holding a good wine at a good price. There are a number of apps that let you scan a wine label to get information about the wine, but we found the Vivino app provides the most useful information. I will never walk into a wine store without this app, and you shouldn't either. Plus, it lets you order wine for delivery. Why we like it: The most crowdsourced reviews and ratings along with tons of information in a user-friendly app.
