There’s nothing quite like getting home after a long work day, unclipping your bra and pouring yourself a big ol’ glass of wine. But while we’d *love* to be profesh sommeliers, most of our wine shopping involves looking for the cutest label for the cheapest price (box or bottle, it doesn’t matter). Now that we’re trying to take our adulting skills to the next level though, we thought we would up our wine game by checking out 10 wine apps that’ll help us expand our knowledge of all things vino.
1. Wine Spectator WineRatings+: From comprehensive vintage charts to educational articles and videos, this all-around wine app is a great option — whether you’re an experienced wino looking for the daily deets or a newbie who’s just trying to not look like a fool at dinner.
