Popular wine tasting app Wine Spectator WineRatings+ has received a notable upgrade, adding updated content, a new design interface, and a version designed specifically for iPad.
While the mandatory iOS 7 design improves readability and ease of use, the real improvements include an updated Top 100 Wines list for 2013, containing editors’ latest list of the world’s “most exciting” wine.
There’s also a “Value Sparklers for Special Occasions” added to the Picks section — offering a selection of Champagnes and sparkling wines at reasonable prices.
The Picks section additionally receives an added “Extreme Values” selection — highlighting wallet-friendly bottles, priced at $12 or less — alongside a new video which details the best way to use the app.
Wine Spectator’s WineRatings+ app is available free in the App Store, although the app’s premium features require a $2.99 monthly subscription.
