For the novice

Hello Vino - Wine Guide
Say hello to your pocket wine assistant. The free-of-cost app, developed in San Francisco, helps you with reccos on wine varieties based on meals, occasions, taste preferences, seasons, and barbeque cookouts too. From a wine that would go well with different types of meats, seafood, pizzas and pastas to ethnic cuisines - including Indian (read: Sauvignon Blanc with samosas and Pinot Noir with Tandoori Chicken) - the exhaustive guide works well for wine novices and party hosts.
Available on android and iOS

Vivino Wine Scanner
Use the app's camera scan feature to take a photo of a wine label and rate it on your profile. You can also check out reviews of over 5 lakh wines from a community of over 10 million users. The app also helps you compare wine prices.

Ditch those Excel sheets for a digital inventory that keeps tab on the wines in your cellar, new purchases, pending deliveries and your wine wishlist. It also includes a label recognition feature where you can take a photo of a wine that you may have tried at a friend's place and can use for later reference.
