New iPhone App tailored to Australian & NZ wine lovers
Lack of data on Australian and NZ wines is a key problem of mobile wine apps. Local start-up Corkscore has launched an Australia/NZ edition of its new iPhone app tailored specifically to Australian and NZ wine lovers. It taps into the largest wine database for Australia & NZ, with over 28,000 AUS/NZ wines, 17,000 cellar door prices and over 6,500 local user reviews.
Users can search and browse the database using Corkscore’s Magic Search on the iPhone and the web. Five letters are enough to find most wines, wineries and regions. There are also over 120,000 wines from Europe and the US.
“The wine apps offered by overseas players are simply incomplete and messy when it comes to Australian and NZ wines”, says Lars Herold, CEO of Corkscore. “This makes it really confusing for local iPhone users to search for Australian and NZ wines and write tasting notes.”
To solve this problem Corkscore.com worked with local wine researchers and editors to build the cleanest and largest Australian & NZ wine database entirely from scratch.
“We would like to grow this wine and review base and are inviting all wine lovers to contribute their tasting notes and add wines from their mobile as they drink, or via our website”, says Herold. Wineries can send missing wines to Corkscore via email (wineries@corkscore.com).
Corkscore.com is a free web and mobile service where wine lovers can keep their tasting notes and check wine prices directly when they drink or buy, with mobile, iPhone, SMS, Email and web access.
