Apple's popular iPad device is already being used in many wine bars and restaurants as a high-tech wine list. Now you can have the wine experience on your iPad at home.
Wine.com has debuted a free app for the iPad which allows users to browse the site's inventory in much the same way you can browse album covers in the music world. Swipe your fingers across the screen and the wine labels go flying by. When you want a closer look, just click on the label and the app shows a page with all the information you could possibly want about the wine, the winery, the grape or the wine-growing region from which the wine comes. You can even take a virtual tour or explore a wine region by way of Google Earth.
You can save your search in your personal Wine Cave, or buy the wine and have it shipped to you right from the app, depending on whether or not you live in a state where wine can be shipped to you.
All the items in your Wine Cave sync to your Wine.com account, so they'll be available wherever you happen to log in.
Wine.com also has an app for the iPhone, it's just not as showy.
