Wine lovers know there’s nothing like the right pairing to complement a good meal, but not everyone knows whether the Chianti or the Merlot goes best with what’s for dinner. That’s where mobile devices come to the rescue. With quick access to a large resource of wine recommendations in seconds, even a vino novice can uncork the right vintage. Mobile wine apps promise to help you with picking a bottle for dinner, gift or special occasion.
Nat Decants recommends pairings around the wine you already have on hand or the dish you’re already serving.
The app lists a huge variety of dishes, flavours and spices in each food category and when you’ve found the perfect match, you can record the info in a virtual wine cellar. You have access to thousands of free reviews dating back to 2001.
Nat Decants also has a great feature in its Wineries search, which helps you find vineyards across the country.
Nat Decant’s list of features and options — backed by a professional wine expert — makes it the clear winner. It’s a great app and a must for anyone into wine.
