Wine Advice Via Text Message
Filed under: Wine
Is choosing a wine really this hard? The latest wine help comes in the form of a text message. The Telegraph reports that the Australian wine company Hardys has launched a text message service that lets you get wine help from your mobile phone. You text the name of a meal or food along with the year of your birth to 64007 and receive back the name of a suitable wine within minutes. There is a database of thousands of meal and each one has a suitable wine with advice from the wine expert Olly Smith. If it can't come up with an answer (apparently it was stumped by Heston Blumenthal's snail porridge) it defaults to a Chardonnay. The service is only available in the U.K. so far.
