How we differ
getwine and Vivino: different questions about the same bottle
Vivino answers how people liked a wine. getwine answers who is behind the label and how we know. Use both.
In short: which one when
Vivino is handier when
- you want taste impressions from many people;
- the wine is from any of many countries;
- you want to keep your own wine diary;
- you need to recognise from a photo the label of a wine from any of many countries.
getwine is more useful when
- it matters who made the wine: the producer, its category and owning group;
- the label shows a medal and you wonder what it is worth;
- you want a summary of prices across all the local shops we track: median, range, date;
- you wonder what the year was like in that zone.
