Why A Wine Grapes App?

Imagine you are on holiday. In a shop window you see an interesting bottle of wine. Entering the store, however, you realise that the person behind the counter does not speak English. The bottle’s label says “Schwartze Riesling” and you feel lost. Now, what is this? Riesling produces white wine and you know that “Schwarz” means “Black”. Is this a red Riesling? Or what?

With the 200+ Wine Grapes App in your smart phone, you will quickly find out that Schwarze Riesling is a synonym for a grape called Pinot Meunier. Continuing reading about the grape, you find that it is known also under another synonym – Müllerrebe. It is used to produce three different kinds of wine: dry, rosé, and sparkling.

The app will also tell that Pinot Meunier grapes have high acidity and flavours of red fruit. Wines are fairly light, and as food pairing a not too heavily seasoned lamb dish is suggested. Even more importantly, the Pinot Meunier dry varietal wines from the region in Germany where you are on holiday, are known to be particularly good. Great! You leave the shop with two bottles.

Look Inside!

Characteristics

For each wine grape, the app reports on its basic characteristics such as colour, acidity, sweetness, tannins, aromas and flavours. It will also inform you about the vine as a plant, e.g. if there are conditions that will help it in producing quality grapes, if it is sensitive to warm or cold climates, etc.

Wines

What kind of wines will be produced with a certain grape? Red, white, sweet, or sparkling? Will it become a dry varietal wine, or used for blending? Will it be turned into a sweet Passito, a delicious Port, or a bubbling Cremant? Maybe the variety will be used for making spirits? Find out by reading more in the app about the grape of your interest.

Food Pairing

An essential part of enjoying wine is to know how to pair it with food. In one sense, isn’t this what drinking wine comes down to in the end? Many wines are nice on their own, but, when you get to pair them with the right food, it takes the experience to a new level. Together with pairing suggestions, there are also recommendations for best serving temperatures.

Where is it grown?

”Do they produce wines from this grape where I’m going for holidays?” Based on the most recent world-wide statistics, each grape’s acreage is reported, country by country. In many cases the app will also provide you with information about in which regions you find the grape’s largest plantings.

History

Learning about wine grape varieties will eventually take you to their history. The 200+ Wine Grapes app gives a brief report on where a grape has originated, its age and its ”parents”, when this information about the variety is available.

About the 200+ Wine Grapes App

The 200+ Wine Grapes app is a dictionary of wine grape varieties, grown all over the world. The idea is for you to have an easy to use knowledge source about grape varieties in your smartphone or tablet when it is needed; for example when you want to know more about the grape in the wine in front of you, when wanting to find a nice food pairing, when wanting to check the facts of a variety. Or, simply because you are curious about grapes and the kind of wines made from them.

Downloading the app gives you access to information about more than 200 wine grapes and their more than 8.500 synonyms. It costs USD 1.99 (or the equivalent in your local currency), which is less than half the price for one issue of any wine magazine.

The app can used on two devices at the same time. Logging in on a third device will automatically log you out from the first device.

We are continuously updating the app’s material, as well as adding new grape descriptions and synonyms. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or on this website (e.g. the one you are visiting right now) for information about updates.

Enjoy!
