Keep wine’s most user-friendly and intuitive wine quality rating system at your fingertips. Explore wine from around the globe with confidence, regardless of expertise, using the Wine Vintage Card’s one-of-a-kind emoticon-based user interface available now from the Apple iTunes Store for $1.99.
Put a smile on your face and great wine in your glass every time you use it. Here’s a few examples of how:
• You’ve narrowed it down to bottles from France and California, but just can’t pull the trigger? Check the ratings. It only takes a second.
• Want to try wine from a particular region or vintage? The Wine Vintage Card will show you the best vintages and regions at a glance.
• Dubious about a recommendation? Easily verify recommendations and make informed choices like a pro.
Unlike any other wine application, the Wine Vintage Card is designed to be used quickly, easily and discreetly in any wine buying situation –- in busy restaurants, dimly-lit wine bars, high-pressure wine shops and bewildering supermarkets.
The application will be updated periodically with new vintage data, wine growing regions, and related features.

This app looks interesting...but we’ve taken it one step further. Our company has recently launched a wine app in the iphone store called Drync (http://www.drync.com). If you want to research a particular wine or are debating which wine to choose, our app can help. It searches the web of nearly 1 million wines in real time to identify your exact wine and immediately delivers professional reviews, ratings and pricing. You can upload your own photo, save it to your cellar, add your own ratings and reviews, and even purchase the wine all from your iphone. It would be a nice complement to the wine vintage card.

I got this the other day and I love it. I am a novice trying to be a wine snob--this gadget has helped me on several occassions, and it is indeed easy. The wonderful thing is I can just whip out my iPhone in the wine shop, grocery store or restaurant and get the information on whether to buy that 2006 red from Washington or the 2004 red from Napa Valley in a few seconds.
