Pocket Wine vs Platter's Wine Guide

“The Ultimate App for Wine Enthusiasts” – iPhoneLife Magazine Take your wine knowledge and enjoyment to the next level with our comprehensive app. It is one of the most popular wine apps in the USA, UK and Canada and is probably the best investment you can make in wine. Simple and easy to use, the app provides you with insights that would otherwise take years to acquire. For example, understanding wine styles is a revelation and will enable you to approach wines with confidence, like a professional. After using the app for a short while, every wine store you walk into will become an Aladdin’s Cave of hidden treasures. The unique cellar management function allows you to record and track your wines in a highly visual and meaningful way. Style icons are assigned to each wine and essential details can be seen at a glance. You can save as many photos as you like for each wine and add as much, or as little, information as you want, including notes and ratings. Editing is easy, and search and sort functions allow you to view your wines in multiple ways. In addition, you can explore a range of dedicated sections in the app on wine styles, grape varieties, food pairing and a unique taste profiling tool to reveal the wines you love based on the foods you like, which is both fun and informative. Key benefits include: • Record all your wines by adding them to the app (add as many wines as you like, there is no limit). View them in a highly visual and meaningful format and profile your cellar in multiple ways. • Sync your wines between iPhone and iPad – you can add the app to your other Apple devices free of charge. • Gain a revealing insight into wine styles through clear and easy to understand definitions. • Unlimited access to over 100 grape varieties and blends, showing key attributes, detailed descriptions, regional information and food pairing advice for each. • Dedicated Food Pairing section with expert advice and pairing recommendations for hundreds of meal types. • Discover your personal taste profile, and those of your friends and family, in the unique My Taste guide. • Access an extensive Glossary of wine terms, specifically written for the app. • Frequently Asked Questions section answers all the important questions you may have. Please note that Pocket Wine does NOT try to sell you wines or review individual wines. The app is dedicated to maximizing your enjoyment and understanding of wine, while providing a professional platform to record your wine experiences and manage your cellar.
