Last night, I went to Pulpo with a good friend from college, and we shared a delicious Paco Y Lola albariño. (Review to come!) No sooner than I lamented about how I wished there was an app to track which wines I've tasted did my friend tell me about Delectable Wine.
In a nutshell, Delectable is a social network for wine. You take a photo of the label and, through
If you don't have a photo of the label, wines can also be identified by simply writing down the relevant information and submitting the photo. Once your wine has been identified, you can add a rating (a very sad face to a very happy face) and notes about the bottle.
The app also allows users to connect with friends, share wines, and repurchase wines on your list.
The good: If you've used Instagram or a similar photo sharing app, this will be very easy to use. I'm very impressed with the accuracy of the wine identification (so far), and I do like the idea of see wines that my friends liked. The repurchase feature allows you to see the going price for a particular bottle for your area. I'm never overpaying for a bottle again!
The meh: This is a minor gripe, but I can't figure out a way to make my feed private to friends. I'm just reviewing wine, of course, but I always like to have control over what I share on the interwebs and with whom.
The bad: I'll see what happens when I have to update the app, but, so far, I'm very pleased with the app and excited to use it.
