About Vinoo

Vinoo is a wine community where members share their opinions and experiences with wines. By helping you to orient your search, Vinoo can help you find your favourite wine. What are your friends drinking and who has the same taste in wine as you do? You find out on Vinoo!

How does Vinoo help you find your favourite wine? As a vinoo member, you review wines you found in shops, online wine shops or supermarkets and build your own virtual wine cellar, filled with your favourite wines. Vinoo will recognize your taste profile and match it accordingly with wine suggestions. You don't need to be a wine expert to enjoy Vinoo, just a wine lover.

10 reasons to become a Vinoo member

1. Knowledge + experience = wisdom. To derive the most possible pleasure from wine, you need to build up experience. You do this of course by tasting, smelling and judging many different wines, but also by talking about wines with others. A wine community helps you do this by providing a place where you can share your opinions on wines online, and meet other wine lovers who may inspire you with their own tips or suggestions.
2. Convenience. Instead of feeling lost among the varieties in the wine shop or supermarket, or staring glassy-eyed at the names on the restaurant wine menu, you can be helped by a wine community to make the right choices. This gives you more assurance that the wine is the right wine and for the right price. Furthermore, you know precisely which wine passes by the meal you will be eating. A good wine community is available wherever you are, for example on your iPhone.
3. Create your own wine collection. A wine community helps you to plan and visualize your own wine collection, and expand it. In this way you easily meet other wine lovers who have a collection similar to yours and stay up to date on the latest news and availability of your favourite wines.
4. Wine is social and is best when enjoyed with other people. Through a wine community you meet other wine lovers. You can easily create your own tasting club or decide to join one that already exists.
5. Receive the best offers from online wine shops. Not only for better wines for great prices, but also wines which match your own taste profile. In this way you can avoid buying wines which you personally do not enjoy.
6. Compare your wine reviews and experiences with those from others, whether they be wine lovers with the same taste profile as yours, or reviews from actual wine professionals.
7. Discover surprising new wines which you otherwise would never have encountered. The community collects and promotes new discoveries and informs you about the best retailers, also in your neighbourhood.
8. A wish list helps you remember a wine, but can also inspire you. What was the name of that wine again? Which wine did I want to try again? Or look into a friend's wish list to surprise them with a wine present.
9. A good wine community lets you know when someone else has tasted and judged your favourite wines. By comparing your own taste notations with those from others, you can test your knowledge. As you place more reviews, you meet other wine lovers who share your taste and you can become online wine friends.
10. Vinoo is educative, but more than anything it's fun! You meet other wine lovers like yourself, and you stay up to date on the latest trends and best wine addresses.
