The WinePlease app allows you to request more wine. When you shake your phone the glass of wine on the screen will start to pour and the bell will jingle to audibly inform your mate more wine is requested. This can be a fun method in a group to make your request. When you shake the phone a second time the pour and jingle will stop, or just press the Shake button. The apps wine search ability allow you to search for wine stores base on your current location. You can also find wine in any city and state in the USA. The table view allows you to directly call a wine source or quickly lookup the store on a Google maps. You have a choice of red wine or white wine animations to be displayed. Also since some people have problems shaking their phone a "Shake" button has been provided to start the video and audio action. Like the actual shake you can stop the action with another shake once you wine arrives. The WinePlease app is a fun app to show of in your group of friends. Enjoy the app and the wine it brings. The WinePlease settings within the Apple Settings app or a separate settings dialog found on the Red Wine page allows you to start the app with "Red" or "White" wine shown and to optionally start ringing automatically at the start.
