Hello Vino Wine App Gets iPhone 5 Support, Enhanced Image Recognition, More

The Hello Vino wine recommendations app has been updated with iPhone 5 support, enhanced image recognition, new food & drink recommendations, and a wine database update.

Rated best app for wine shoppers by NY Times, NPR, Mashable - Hello Vino will help you in the wine aisle - the free app gives you wine recommendations for meals, occasions, holidays, and by taste preference. NO SNOBS ALLOWED!

★ RECOMMENDATIONS ★ You don't need to know anything about wine to use Hello Vino. All you have to do is tell the app what you're eating, or provide your taste preferences, and Hello Vino will help you pick the perfect bottle off the shelf.


★ WINE LABEL IMAGE RECOGNITION ★ Ever purchased a wine based on the design of its label? Now you actually have a good excuse! Snap a pic of the wine label and Hello Vino will give you all the goods (tasting notes, ratings, food pairings and more!).

★ NEVER FORGET ANOTHER WINE ★ Just in case you're having trouble remembering that delicious wine you tasted last night, Hello Vino will help you easily save and track all the wines you love (and hate).

★ FOOD PAIRINGS ★ Whether it's pepperoni pizza, filet mignon, or even mac & cheese, Hello Vino will give you recommendations for the best wines to pair with your meal.

★ GIFT IDEAS ★ Need to bring a killer bottle of wine to your next festivus? Hello Vino has you covered with wine recommendations for every occasion and holiday (Thanksgiving is right around the corner!!).


★ LARGEST WINE DATABASE ★ We tied down a dozen sommeliers and plugged their brains into our supermegacomputer in order to bring you the world's most detailed wine database.

★ WINE REVIEWS ★ We get by with a little help from our friends. Your new friend and Certified Sommelier Elizabeth Schneider has provided "quick wine reviews" that break down widely available wines that you can find in your local store. Take a listen to the 2-minute audio reviews that talk about the wine in a "normal" way (not wine "geek speak").

What's New In This Version:
★ ENHANCED Image Recognition ★ After a year's worth of photos from the Hello Vino community, we've made an incredibly HUGE improvement to the image recognition features in the app.

★ NEW Food & Drink Recommendations ★ Whether you need the perfect wine pairings for holiday meals or suggestions for a killer bottle to bring to your friends and family gatherings, we have you covered.

★ Wine Database Update ★ We've hooked up with wine retailers across the land to make sure you'll find the details on wines that are available in your local stores.

★ Updated for iPhone 5 ★ More screen space = More vino. Need we say more?

-- This 2.2.3 update also includes the ability to restore unlimited image recognition scans and a fix for a bug that did not display wine photos added by some users. --

You can download Hello Vino from the App Store for free.
