So many possibilities for this app! – WineQuest Review

I’ve had this app for years and was excited to see the developers have put some recent work into it because I thought it had been abandoned. People like me NEED this app. Unfortunately, I developed a taste for wine right around the time wine became “popular”. So I have well-meaning friends recommending me wine all the time! Like... “Yellow Tail makes good wines!” “I had this wine by Barefoot last week...” “Darling, you simply MUST try a good rosé!” “Meiomi Pinot Noir is like...universally loved.” No. No, it’s not. In fact, I have poured not one, but two bottles down my kitchen sink after deciding to give it a second chance since EVERYONE loved it. I don’t. It’s highly undrinkable to my palate. No offense. So maybe I’m a 2nd class wine snob, but going with what everyone else likes - which seems to be alcoholic sugar water - just wasn’t doing the trick. The thing Wine Quest gets right is that wines are HIGHLY based on personal taste so requests from friends are best taken based on the types, varieties, price points, etc. that friends with SIMILAR tastes drink...If you are lucky enough to have friends with similar tastes. Wine Quest has the potential to be AMAZING - It just needs more people using it and more recommendations. It may also help to provide more of an education, as well, to help people determine WHY they like certain wines over others (I am still figuring this out!). This involves a lot of research, though, finding out what distinct flavors are in different wines (blackberry, cherry, leather, tobacco, cola, oak, earth, chocolate, etc.) and then creating a database classifying each wine in accordance. And algorithms to figure out what flavors (and flavors combined) make you double pour, what makes you sip with a wrinkled nose and what has you binning the whole bottle. I’m rating this proactively because they built the platform...and now the people just need to come! Especially drinkers of dry reds who can help me from spending an hour walking around staring at labels indecisively. I need you people in my life. And this app. Raising a glass to future development and many more happy ratings! Thanks for creating and continued work on this app! I’ll start using it again. ?
