IF YOU LOVE WINE, but you don't know much about all the obscure grape varieties, regions, vintages or other wine geek-speak, this app is for you.
RECOMMENDATIONS - This app will help you BEFORE you buy. It's made for the 99% of wine shoppers who need some help in the store or restaurant. Simply tell the app what you're eating, or provide some general taste preferences, and Hello Vino will recommend the perfect bottle for every occasion.
WINE LABEL SCANNER - Ever purchased a wine based on the label design? Now you actually have a good excuse! Snap a pic of the wine label and Hello Vino will tell your about the wine (tasting notes, ratings, food pairings, etc.) and you can even order more of that delicious vino through the app.
REMEMBER EVERY WINE - Now you'll never forget another wine with Hello Vino's photographic memory. Simply snap a pic and take a quick note to remember all of your wine purchases. You can also rate and share your favorite bottles via Facebook, Twitter & email.
INSIDER WINE DEALS - Our wine experts have hand-picked the best wine deals available online. We also have promo codes for 1-cent shipping and even wine gift cards & vouchers (while they last)!
WINE REVIEWS FOR "NORMAL" PEOPLE - Wine podcast celebrity (and Certified Sommelier) Elizabeth Schneider's audio wine reviews include wines you can actually find in your local store (instead of obscure wines only the wine geeks drink). Take a listen to her reviews that cut out the snobbery and explain wine in a "normal" way.
FOOD & WINE PAIRINGS - Whether it's pepperoni pizza, filet mignon, or even mac & cheese, Hello Vino has the largest food and wine pairing database in all the App Store. Simply choose your dish, then the app will tell you the best wine for the meal.
WINE 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 (date night, holidays, dinner with the boss, etc.).

What's New
This "vintage 3.7" release has a beautiful design upgrade for iOS 7, along with these MAJOR improvements and additions to the Hello Vino app:
BRAND NEW WINE LABEL SCANNER - We've completely replaced the image recognition technology, and added REAL-TIME wine label identification by our team. That's correct - if the label scanner doesn't return a response right away, we'll personally identify the wine label in a matter of seconds.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The wine label image recognition in earlier versions of the app will no longer work - please update to version 3.7 today.
YOUR WINE PHOTOS NOW IN "THE CLOUD" - We want to make sure you never lose your wine photos when you upgrade your device, so we're now backing up all beautiful pics up in "the cloud" so you can access them on both your iPhone and iPad (and even our web site).
OVER 10,000 NEW WINES available through our revolutionary wine recommendation engine. The app will suggest the perfect wines according to your personal taste preferences, meals and special occasions, while also directing you to nearby stores for purchase (or you can simply order through the app).
EXPERT REVIEWS FOR THE NEW YEAR - Our wine expert has new reviews to help you with wines that are sure to impress (while also helping you avoid some disasters).
THOUSANDS OF DELICIOUS FOOD & WINE PAIRINGS - If the beautiful photos aren't enough to get you hungry and thirsty, we've added even more dishes to our incredibly comprehensive food & wine pairing section.
-- NOTES FOR 3.7.1 --
