Just saw this old blog post. I am currently building an app (android) that pretty much does exactly this. The code is open source https://github.com/eweise/WineTastingLog if you feel like running your own. I plan to complete it around march 2012. Feel free to leave a message at my github account if you have ideas around it.

Confession – I’m the developer of WineSnap (and BeerSnap) and this post has been tremendously inspirational. The 30 second rule is what we’re going to use for version 2.0 of both apps. Free promo codes when they’re complete.

Hi Mike, I designed Cellar with quick data entry in mind and our 2.0 update includes a plethera of other new stuff including more quick auto-completion options when entering bottles. If you’d like to try it out let me know and I’ll give you a promo code.

meks: Damn! That looks pretty good! Unfortunately it requires iPhone software 3.1, which I’ve been avoiding because it disables tethering. Might have to finally buck up and upgrade though. Hrrumph.

Bruno and James: Likewise. Damn… tethering might be coming to an end for me since a lot of these new apps aren’t going to be available to me until I upgrade.

[...] it is enough to prevent the task from getting done. The latest example, a couple of weeks ago, was wine journaling. Sure it only takes a few minutes to pull out a laptop, log into your wine-dot-whatever account and [...]

You might be interested in Tesco’s wine app: photograph the label, and it lets you rate the wine (and share it with others). Oh, and let’s you order some more.

Tesco is, kind of, the Walmart of the UK, in case you’re unfamiliar; and I guess it only works on wine available from Tesco’s wine service; which makes it close to what you wanted, but not quite right.

There some links to wine-related iPhone/touch apps and associated reviews on my site. Hope this helps http://winefeeds.wordpress.com/

Some of the ones mentioned above appear but none that seem to do what you’re looking for.

Why not take a look at http://www.adegga.com? They have a mobile site and a great code system like ISBN for wine.

Alex: Recognition based on barcode or label graphic would really put the “killer” in “killer app”, but honestly, I could probably even just live with a collection of label photos that were attached to the rudimentary rating system.

Mike, would you require the app to recongnise the wine by barcode or picture and add the details itself? Or would you think that the picture is enough to recognise the wine yourself without having name and year?

The big deal is the missing database for all the barcode labels, I guess.

Wow, Mike, my husband and I had this discussion (almost the exact words of your post) about a week ago. Would buy this app right away!
