## What is Wine Radar?

Wine Radar is a buyers guide for Australian wine consumers, and it was originally developed as a hobby project by a wine enthusiast from the IT industry.

The Wine Radar app is the mobile version of the Wine Radar buyers guide, and has two main features: the Hit List and The Guru.
	
The Hit List is the mobile app equivalent of the famous Wine Radar Monthly Report, which scans wine retailers, compares prices, checks scores, and lists all the best deals.

The Guru scans thousands of wines in the Wine Radar database and produces personally curated wine recommendations. 
	
Are you standing in the bottle shop wondering what to buy? Just select the bottle shop, your price range, and wine preference, and The Guru will instantly search Wine Radar for all matching wines from highest to lowest score. Just pick the best match from the list and ask the attendant to get it for you. Out of stock?  Just pick the next best from the list! Now you can quickly and easily find the best bang for your wine buck in the bottle shop. The Guru is perfect for novice buyers, or for your unplanned or urgent wine purchases!
	
The Hit List and The Guru are available via in-app purchase of a yearly subscription for $35.99 (just $3/month). It is updated almost every day.

The subscription includes the first month for free. If you cancel within the first month, there is no charge. So you can try before you buy!
