Modesto, CA    Nov 18, 2009 in iPhone

[prMac.com] Modesto, California - The latest version of the Hello Vino iPhone app contains new features, including the ability to share pairings and wine brand recommendations to users' social networks through Twitter and Facebook. In addition, the inclusion of new wine pairings for the holiday season, occasions, and popular dishes offers consumers several options for enjoying food and discovering new wines.

A relationship with Wine online helps to provide an intuitive search function and thorough brand recommendations containing the winery, region, price, vintage, notes, reviews, with industry ratings and scores. Lastly, Hello Vino now offers popular food pairings if the consumer has already selected a bottle of wine.

Hello Vino ranks #1 on the "5 Must-Have iPhone Apps for Wine Lovers" on Mashable and #1 on the "Top 50 Wine iPhone Apps" report by Vintank. Over 300 varietals and styles of wine are currently available to consumers searching for food and wine pairings, gifts, by taste preference, or region.

"The Hello Vino iPhone app has provided some valuable insight into the mind of the beginner wine consumer," said Hello Vino CEO Rick Breslin. "We are experiencing a significant increase in app usage for the upcoming holiday season. Recent trends are pointing towards turkey and holiday pairing suggestions as being the most popular."

Wineries may enter their inventory into Hello Vino for free. Designed to support wineries of all sizes, the specifications to enter individual SKUs are available to brand managers on the Hello Vino website.

With a growing number of iPhones being sold (7MM in Q4 2009, 33MM to date, according to Apple), Hello Vino offers mobile advice for selecting wine and exposure to brands with an intuitive, user-friendly design. Available on iTunes, the Hello Vino iPhone / iPod touch app is free to consumers
