Vinica is an application that allows you to record the wine you drank by taking a label of the wine and evaluating the taste and aroma. First, "taste" is evaluated in five items: volume / tannin / sweetness / acidity / fruit. Next, select "fragrance" from 64 items such as raspberry / pepper / wooden barrel to complete the registration.

Recorded wines can be managed and viewed on "My Cellar" and shared with other users using Facebook / Twitter. Furthermore, if you follow a user you like, you can check the updated information of that user in real time.

In addition, you can check the highly rated brands to find new wines, or press the "LIKE" button for the wines you want to drink and make wine companions.
