“We released this mobile application to serve as an assistant to consumers while they are in grocery stores and restaurants,” said Kevin McCormick, president and founder of VinoForDinner.com, Phoenix, AZ.
“Our business is geared towards consumers looking for a good bottle of wine with dinner, that is inexpensive but still good,” he said.
VinoforDinner.com is a site dedicated to taking the guesswork out of buying a great bottle of wine for a great price, less than $30 a bottle.

This application requires iPhone 2.0 software update.
“This application is a good way to help average consumers who don’t want to spend a lot of money on a bottle of wine,” Mr. McCormick said.
“We want to help confused consumers standing in Costco of any other grocery store pick a good wine, for a good price,” he said. The app is also designed to pair the wine with what the consumer is planning for dinner that night.
We are ultimately bettering the in-store and at the restaurant experience.”
