Have been actively comparing wines for a few months promoted by Vivino, looking to try new wines. I had one shipment delivered relatively promptly, paid more for ice packs since we had hot weather.
Splurged on a large second order addl discount offered , but their claim of temperature controlled shipment is exaggerated.
They are holding my wine 2 weeks because it is too hot, but did not communicate with me about the delay. Enjoy the app, you might not get the wine for a while if weather stays over 80, even paying extra for ice packs. Amended to 2 stars - three days after complaining with Vivino rep via chat, the wine was delivered and ice packs did their job over 3 hot days.
Good app but too many mistakes with orders May 29, By Respadas. They offer good selections of wines and usually good prices and deals. However, it can get upsetting ordering through them. Vintage substitutions yes, you order and they send you or because supposedly you marked a non existing box allowing that through the checkout process , mismatches and mistakes. The last one was already too much for me.
When I picked up the package, what do I see? Good job guys, terrific. It took weeks to solve this, I had to print labels, return the package, and wait for a refund. It was very disappointing and such a waste of time. Communication has worsened a lot and now it takes them a week or more to answer emails. So if you actually have an issue with them just prepare to wait.
Sort of useful, but Mar 24, By Rudedad. Vivino has two problems. First, people have truly bizarre and wildly divergent tastes and the crowdsourcing focus of the app results in really ridiculous over and under ratings until there are hundreds of responses for a given wine. Only then do the ratings mean anything. Second, the app confuses different wines and mixes reviews for red wines with whites and roses.
What prompted me to do this review was recognizing that half or more of the reviews for a 4. You want to know which of the wines to try over the or more you may encounter on a wine tour. The Vivno app will help you choose. Community Go back to your phd and play some fortnite veryfun ;D. Community To become a certified sommelier, you have to be able to identify which of the 10, varietals come from which regions.
Here you have an encyclopedia of wines to reference. Community All you need to do is take a picture of the label of a wine and you'll get all the information you need, including which meals to pair it with.
Community I'm definitely not a wine expert, but any time I need to pair a wine with any kind of dinner, there's only 1 place that I go. Whether hosting a party or planning a romantic dinner, set the tone with the right glass of wine. Community The memory of an amazing wine tasted at an expensive Italian restaurant will only last for so long. Better get a bottle for yourself. Vivino is a good way to scan labels, get all the details, and know exactly where you can find your new favorite wine.
The database contains more than 3, different brands. Expert You can almost taste the flavor! My Go To Wine App!!! Jul 7, By RC I have been a big wine fan for many, many years. I use it to check prices at stores, wineries, etc. Also while checking pricing, you can read multiple reviews to zero in on a desired wine!!! I recommend it to all my friends and they use it all the time. This is one of my most used apps! Definitely 5 stars!!! Very good app, difficult wine delivery Jul 8, By Aa77D.
I enjoy the app, especially the different components of the wine identified as a graph. My wife and I determined our taste profiles by looking at the profiles of wine we preferred, and often use the profile in identifying new wines to try.
Purchasing has proven to be difficult. The deals on wines that I have purchased in the past are very good. The expected delivery times are so wide I have not ordered wine because I was not sure I would be available for pickup under worse case delivery window. My current order I have being delivered to an address I would be at during the site delivery window. I ordered on a Tuesday, with an expected delivery the following week Monday-Friday. Just received a notice delivery will be Thursday of this week.
Other sites do much better identifying expected ship date and delivery date. The almost perfect wine tracking tool! Sep 28, By TM Chicago. So many apps have one or more great features but are always lacking something or they have functional issues. A custom sort field would also be nice, but not as critical as the pictures. Frankfromthebank Oct 9, By frankfromdabank. As a wine enthusiast and not an expert this is exactly what I needed.
It has helped me organized my favorite wine and save my past options as well as help me keep and track what I have in the cellar. I quick know what I like and can make a better choice when I am in the shop.
The big advantage for a moviste is the quick consultant option, with a photo snap you have a quick price and wine profile, what an advantage and solid insight to what I am getting with out guessing or taken for a ride or to the cleaners in the wine shop. Great product and supper tool for the person who just likes wine!
By Matt. Vivino surpassed them all with ease of use, photo scanning and recognition, and the ability to shop directly in the app. I still prefer to support my local wine shops when I can, but the ability to select multiple vintages at the tap of a finger is amazing. This app is great for everyone. Loved app for ratings but do not buy Jan 10, By opinyn8d. Also, a friend bought a wine through them. It was really good and free shipping was appealing.
So, I decided to try them. But, customer service is severely lacking. When the wine was delayed it was hard to get a tracking number. Then the day I did, tracking revealed that is was damaged and discarded. I really wanted to get the same wine, but they said it was no longer available at the same price. No attempt was made to give me any other choices and the refund took several days to be done- after I disputed with credit card. Stay away - wish I could give zero stars!
Aug 18, By YoshMcGosh. Awful doing business with them, absolutely no customer support. I sent a gift of four bottles of the same white wine and they delivered four different bottles of Cabernet. It has been a miserable experience trying to get this resolved over a week later!
My emails go unanswered and when you customer service rep was supposed to call me back but never did. By Create a nickname person. The customer service is awful. People need to know they will do nothing to help you out. After waiting 4 days I cokntacting them snd they stated they would contact the merchant. Received a standard automated email stating they were sorry for the delay and would look into it.
Next day I contacted and emailed them… standard response they would get me an answer within in the day. Ten days after I ordered I was still getting the automated email. Called spoked to Tim who had no answers… told him to cancel my orders so was told they would need to speak to the merchant.. Ordered cancelled … ordered at Total Wines … received wines within 6 days!! Bait and switch Apr 13, By AA Plat. They post certain vintages, and you order them, and then they ship you different vintages.
Total rip off. If you know your wines, you recognize this as fraud in the highest order. To make it worse, they make it impossible to contact them and complain. I will notify my credit card company to refuse the charge. I was fortunate to have one wine merchant, on my first order, to notify me of the fraud, so I made an informed decision expecting to always be notified of the bait and switch issue thinking it was a one off problem , but it occurred again.
Turns out it happens all of the time and I got duped again. Fool me once.. I will post this on other social media apps if I do not receive proper consideration for my complaint. Disorganized and not customer friendly Dec 12, By Ts I have placed a total of six orders using the Vino.
They basically are advertising for wine distributors. If the wine you order is from a decent distributor, you will get good service. If not, you get horrible service.
I ordered a wine on December 3 that was supposed to be delivered around the seventh. I still have no idea where the wine is.
I got an email on December 7 that the order has shipped, but when I go to track my order, it says they are still preparing my order. Review Highlights. Top 3 vs Worst 3 Features. Similar to Vivino: Buy the Right Wine. Free Fresh. Great Experience! Oct 8, By Cabby Two. When you visit Total Wine you become lost in the rows and rows of wines available to try from all over the world. I find it very fascinating being someone who loves good wine. I also like how the employees have little notes of why they like a certain wine which is quite helpful.
The employees are also very helpful and more than willing to give you some advice if you have a question.
Their wine tastings are great and also interesting. You could spend a whole hour or more just browsing in this store as if you were browsing for a good book at your favorite bookstore. For the little guy Aug 25, By Jerome I have received many of their emails about specials. They were for quantities of wine that were more than I usually purchase, and for other specials.
I always use my phone number at the checkout. Today I received an email to download their app. Turns out that I have accumulated a number of points over the years. Super easy! Love this app! Aug 13, By Elicia I love the save coupons to app feature when I scan my barcode my discounts come melting off always saving me mega bucks.
Tipping online Aug 1, By Brig and Rich. I really enjoy such diversity you have online. The only thing I wish you had on your online ordering and delivery is a place to tip your driver.
Delivery is easy Jul 31, Plus you get the savings of total wine and no mark up- like some of the other places. Easy as Sunday Morning! Jul 31, By Childbrain. However they have a lot!
Some items are in store purchase only but, that is clearly stated in the app bottle by bottle. Home delivery is nice as well. Look for the free delivery special and save it to your account it is automatically applied. Your government id is required when you purchase as well as when your purchase arrives. All of the beverages have narratives which helps when deciding what to purchase. Overall easy, educational and you can shop at your leisure!
Right to the door, every time Jul 30, By Getug. Delivery rates and timing are the key factors that I care about for my choices in delivery or not. The rates for total wine are very good especially considering they are usually available to deliver within a few hours of order on the given day ordered. Whenever a problem occurs I have always had good communication with the drivers help redirect them.
The options total wine brings are quite a bit more than the stores local to me and being able to access this via delivery instead of driving across town is great more. Easy peasy Jul 27, By KPgirl LOVE the Total wine app! It makes it easy to shop, browse and access special offers and rewards. It is also simple to change locations without losing existing cart and to notify store when I arrive for curbside pickup. I do not miss the in-store crowds. I look forward to ability to redeem gift cards in-app please!
Wide variety and excellent membership benefits Jul 27, By LeftEarTinnitus. Total Wine stocks a much wider variety than any other wine shop within miles of my home.
The Total Wine pricing is consistent or slightly lower than their competitors, and member benefits make shopping at Total Wine a no-brainer. I particularly appreciate that their IT team has now integrated member rewards, offers and discounts into their online ordering system. Makes it tremendously easier for the customers and the check-out clerks. Nice job!
Do NOT order gifts through the app Dec 30, By briank I have used the app flawlessly for home delivery. Their inventory lookup speed seems to be slow at times and can be a bit frustrating when placing large orders. However, a lesson I learned the hard way, do not order gifts for others through this app. I ordered an expensive holiday bottle for a friend.
I checked the gift box in the app, put their name in there along with a note, updated the address and thought I was good to go Apparently the app, automatically put the senders name as who to deliver to, even though it is notated as a gift under their system and the recipients name is added. So, unless you want to receive a non-refundable delivery fee, do NOT order gifts through the app. Suggestions from an app design specialist Aug 24, By Sumovic.
As an app designer and customer research specialist I see a number of rough spots in your app. If you are interested in improving, I recommend starting with the constant refreshing that happens in the cart and favorites. The app also appears to get sluggish with repeated searches making me need to restart the app. As an iPad user with a keyboard it was annoying that the app is locked in portrait mode. And your buttons take up a lot of space covering real estate that could be used to show the products.
The Web offers a huge, sprawling collection of information about wine; the sharper your search skills, the more useful this channel is. With luck and a little practice, you may not only find the wine you want, but learn more about it and snag a discount deal. One of the most widely used online resources is wine-searcher. Besides showing price and whereabouts, many wine entries also display descriptions, tasting notes and so on.
One new kid on the wine-finding block is snooth. Links to merchants and direct-sale wineries can also be found at wineweb. Keep in mind that the Internet may make it easier to find a wine, but not necessarily easier to get it; interstate shipping laws trump the virtual world.
Happy hunting. Well worth the nominal cost to be a pro user. It gives every listing in their database. Kudos to wine searcher team. I think it is an Australian company. Thanks for the great review! So glad to hear you're enjoying using Wine-Searcher. The following data may be collected and linked to your identity:. The following data may be collected but it is not linked to your identity:.
