Which wine applications to have on your smartphone ?

Gone are the days when you spent half an hour in front of the supermarket wine section playing splash to choose a wine. Goodbye to the days when we rowed to find the name of the great wine we had tasted at a friend's house. From now on, you can count on your smartphone and its applications that you always have to hand !

But there are many mobile smartphone applications dedicated to the world of wine. : there are more than 1,600 ! Applications specializing in wine recognition are not to be outdone since there are no less than 20. There are also those specializing in scoring (180), food and wine pairings (80), cellar management (60) and many others.

With applications dedicated to recognition, you will be able to scan the label of a bottle of wine and have all the information you need to make no mistakes.

Free smartphone applications for wine recognition

Vivino

I couldn't do this ranking without talking about Vivino. This is only the free app used by 10 million people around the world. Just take a picture of the bottle label to get a very detailed sheet with community ratings, his price, its ranking and a lot of other information. This very complete application in free version has a premium version to unlock expert notes and the management of your cellar.

Winewoo

Cocorico ! Winewoo is developed by the French start-up Kasual Business and is aimed at wine aficionados in France. The strong point of this application, besides being in French, is his concept : the creators solicited the winegrowers themselves to ensure the accuracy of the information. So there is a lot of information about wine, his tasting, food / wine pairings, the history of the domain and the information needed to contact them.

On the wine sheet, you will find information such as the peak period of wine, pairings with dishes ranging from aperitif to dessert, serving temperature and many others. The application is not yet very user-friendly, but the evolution is impressive since its creation.
