App takes guessing out of wine buying
By David Goldman, CNNMoney
For most of us, wine remains a big mystery.
Making a selection at a wine store is a daunting task that usually comes down to just two decisions: red or white and what price you’re willing to pay. Then you just choose the wine with the prettiest label.
A new app called Next Glass aims to make buying wine much easier — and a whole lot more scientific.
Next Glass works like this: When you first download the app, you are asked to rate a few wines that you like. Then, at a wine store, you scan a wine bottle’s label. You’ll instantly get a score out of 100. The higher the score, the more likely you’ll enjoy that wine.
And if wine’s not your thing, don’t fret: Next Glass also rates beer.
