Have you ever been dragged to a wine and cheese social and had a goblet-sized glass thrust under your nose and your overeager host demands to know what you think of the wine? Well, with iWineSnob, never be at a loss for words again!
Sniff the wine, taste the wine, swirl it around in your mouth, then consult iWineSnob. Click on Wine Reviews, select the type of wine (Red, White or Rose), and select the type of review based on how you felt about the wine (Loved It, Not Bad, So-So, Not Good, Hated It) and then click Review. iWineSnob will select a random Review template for that level of satisfaction, randomly fill in appropriate wine terms for aromas, flavors, acidity, etc, throw in a few adjectives and possibly a simile and voila! Youve got an instant wine review. Quickly memorize it and recite it back to your host and sound like an instant wine genius!
"Surprisingly austere; not something one welcomes in a Banyuls from Bandol. The hint of toast and the overbearing scent of pecans collide, and the taste of mint lingers too long in the back of your throat. Better to smile and wave as you pass this one by."
iWineSnob contains over sixty actual wine terms and dozens of wine description templates, but why stop there? Tobacco, cat pee and dirty socks are aroma terms already included but feel free to add your own! Have hours of fun writing your own wine description templates where you mix prose with placeholders for the wine terms such as aroma, flavor, aftertaste, adjective or simile for example. You havent had this much mad fun since those childhood word games!
Save your favorite wine reviews and share them through either e-mail or Facebook (sorry Twitter, 140 characters is just not enough for a full review!).
Are you already an experienced Wine Maker? This App is perfect for you too! I often read the wine descriptions while tasting at the local vineyard and I have to wonder who they have to pay to write all those crazy descriptions. Well, let iWineSnob write them for you! You can tweak the descriptions slightly to insert the proper grape, aroma or flavor for your wine, but 99% of the work has already been done for you!
If nothing else, this App will be great fun at parties. See how many outrageous wine terms and descriptions you can invent! Then, send them to your friends so they can join in on the fun!
