Are you a wine enthusiast? Have you always wanted to learn more about wines? With the help of your iPhone, you can connect to the largest virtual wine communities and learn all you have always wanted to know about the best wines available today.

The iPhone app store carries dozens of great wine apps that cover everything from reference to recommendations. Here are three of the top wine apps you must have on your iPhone:

Hello Vino

This app is designed for wine beginners. It tells you which wine you should consume with which kind of food, helps you choose the right wines for different occasions and also helps you pronounce difficult French names like Mourvèdre!

While most wine enthusiasts will likely have a good grasp of all these things, it is still a good application to have to brush up your wine skills. You can also recommend it to your friends and family to provide them with a simple introduction to wining. The app lets you share the wines you have picked with your friends on Twitter and Facebook. Best of all, this application is completely free.

Snooth Wine Pro

This is perhaps the most advanced wine app available on the iPhone today. It features an image recognition technology that lets you take photos of the label on a wine bottle and then displays information about the wine by finding it in its database. You will have access to large number of consumer reviews, so you can decide whether or not you should buy the wine without having to open the bottle! Also, it will display the lowest price of the bottle in question, so you can buy the wine from somewhere else if it’s cheaper. In addition to this very useful feature, you can conduct wine searches by price, region and type. It will also display a list of all the wine stores nearest to you. The Snooth Wine Pro costs $4.99.

Drync Wine Pro

Drync Wine Pro is an app any wine enthusiast will love to have. It features expert reviews and comments on hundreds and thousands of wines. It features a “Most Popular” wine section, a “Featured” section and “Top Wanted” section, based on user reviews, actions and ratings. As you can see, it lists the top wines you can find in the market today. It offers detailed descriptions as to the taste of the wine and reviews from expert sources like Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and Wine & Spirits.

You will also have access to your own virtual wine cellar. You can take notes of the wine you are drinking, rate it and even take a photo of the label before you place it in your “cellar”. You can build a collection of all the wines you have tasted, as well as the wines you want to try some day!

You will also have access to links to YouTube videos where experts review the wines they have tasted. You can also access their official website for user recommendations to the best wines out there.  The application is free to try (a 10 bottle limit in your cellar), while the full version costs $4.99.

Armed with these apps, you should have no trouble finding and enjoying the best wines, whether you are a wine newbie or a hardcore wine enthusiast.
