Wine tools for your iPhone or iPod touch

by William Wilson on July 11, 2008

The Internet has been abuzz this week over Apple’s new version of the venerable iPhone. Owners of an iPod touch (basically an iPhone without the camera or phone features) are also benefitting from new firmware and applications.

There are a couple of applications in the iTunes Store that may be of interest to wine enthusiasts. One, Wine Log, allows you to keep track of bottles you’ve enjoyed. If you have an iPhone, you can take a photo of the label. The cost is $2.99.

Another, Wine Snob, appears to be a reference tool with pairing suggestions, tasting notes, facts and other information. It also costs $2.99.

I would expect we will see more wine applications for the iPhone and iPod touch in the near future. For now, enjoy these.

Wine Snob can now actually record your own reviews, pictures and tasting notes. Its probably the most beautiful app I have seen out there so far in terms of design. It has a few issues, but overall pretty slick. Looking forward to updates for it.

Thanks for the info. I’m probably going to end up getting each of them downloaded and give them a try. Fortunately they are all pretty inexpensive.

A few weeks ago my daughter launched an iphone app called drync. It’s a fabulous tool to log your wines and find out about wines. She came up with the idea while in Italy taking pictures of labels to save for future enjoyment! Check out http://www.drync.com you’ll love the application..
