A new app is out just in time for Christmas that helps you pick the right wine for your celebration this season.
Just Wine was launched on Monday and was created by Calgary based Mobility Quotient for wine enthusiasts of all levels.
The app teaches beginners how to swirl, sniff and swish wines and also how to identify flavours and aromas when tasting wine.
"What gets me excited about Just Wine is the ability to enjoy wine at a level that most people can't yet," explains Nikhil (Nick) Sonpal, CEO of Mobility Quotient. "There's this notion that you have to spend a lot of money and talk to an intimidating sommelier to be able to get the best wine for the food that you're about to consume. And that's just not the case. Wine is no longer for the elite, it is for the masses, and wine can be enjoyed at any price point."
The app allows users to track favourites and failures in their collection and keep notes and photos of wines they have tasted.
A section of the app shows users where local wine events and courses are being held and restaurants will also be able to add in their wine menus.
There is also a section to help users pair wines with food and it is regularly updated by Just Wine staff.
The Just Wine app can be downloaded at the Apple app store for 99¢.
