Wine is so much fun. It is my passion, but like everyone, my life is busy. I have work, family; it’ s hard to find time to devote to hobbies. What I like about CornerVine is that if I have a couple of minutes here or there, I can pop on and read about wine. I am not on Facebook because I don’ t feel it has the privacy level I am comfortable with, but I am comfortable on CornerVine because it focuses on such a specific interest.
The feature I find myself using often is My Wines. Because it is a history of the wines I have purchased, I can track the dates of wines I am cellaring, and I can also scroll through wines I have purchased in the past, to remind me of old favourites.
