I\u2019m a wine drinker with a bad memory.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t count the amount of times that I\u2019ve walked down the wine aisle and couldn\u2019t remember the wine I bought last week. Has that ever happened to you? Your standing in the wine aisle trying to remember that awful wine you bought last week on a whim, so you don\u2019t buy it again. Did the label have a picture? What country was it from? What year? So many details to remember in the vast sea of wines.<\/p>\n

For a while, I played with the idea of taking photos of the wine labels with my phone, but after further consideration I found several flaws with this plan. One problem is that it doesn\u2019t allow for any detailed cataloguing. Another problem was no ability to make notes. More importantly, my camera doesn\u2019t provide additional information about wine. So, instead I decided to try an app (because of course, there is an app for everything). In fact, there are more than a dozen wine apps, but they are not all the same.<\/p>\n

After reviewing the available apps in the Android store, I choose Delectable and Vivino. Next, I spent several months building a library on each. My review will include an explanation of the similarities between the two apps, the differences, and who I believe would benefit from each.<\/p>\n
