TRAWNA -- (GOSH Wine News Services) -- The Wine Writers of Canada group is happy to announce that it has developed a new iPhone application for its members.
The app is free, but you must be a member of the group in order to download, install, and access it.
It's being seen by many as a major perk of membership.
The app, called Wino Function, has been developed with the co-operation of all of players in the Ontario, A Have-Not Province, wine industry.
Simply put: your iPhone will beep continuously starting at 20 minutes before the beginning of any wine function in the GTA. Or, if you live in the Canadian hinterland of Lake Erie, Winnipeg, Halifax, or Prince Rupert, the beeps will start 20 minutes before any wine function in your own area or region. The beeps are bilingual, but closely match the harmonics of "How Dry Am I?"
By picking up the phone, you will receive a text message itemizing details of the upcoming tasting. Depending on where you are at the time, you may never be late for another tasting again. The beeping stops as you arrive at the tasting.
This is considered a boon for those who attend several functions a day, because in addition to the announcement of the next upcoming tasting, there will always be a handy list of excuses for an early departure from a currently happening tasting.
