Overview of Vivino

Vivino is a Denmark-based brand established in 2010 by Heini Zachariassen and Theis Søndergaard. Believe it or not, the brand’s founders were not wine connoisseurs when they came up with the idea for this business.

They had little knowledge about wine and wanted to help people, like them, learn about which wine pairs well with what and how to choose great-tasting, premium wine regardless of their budget. In 2011, the Vivino app was launched.

Today, Vivino offers wine delivery to people all over the world. Using crowd-sourced data, the brand’s app delivers personal recommendations to help people make thoughtful and informed choices when choosing their wine. Their philosophy is straightforward: “Vivino empowers people to enjoy wine to the fullest.”

Vivino Wine Review

Onto the fun part! Now, my Vivino review will check out a few of the brand’s most popular wines on the market. Vivino wine includes a ton of different bottles ranging in taste, color, and age. If you’re new to the world of wine, then I’d suggest sticking around to see what’s popping.

Vivino Meiomi Pinot Noir Review

The Meiomi Pinot Noir is a dark and mysterious vintage wine from California. Writing this Vivino review, I can see anyone who loves to read Edgar Allan Poe poems sipping this beverage on a cool fall evening.

In terms of taste, this wine is dry, smooth, and bold. If you prefer sweet cocktails and fruity drinks, then this wine might not be for you. That being said, this wine pairs well with red meats such as beef and veal.

You can purchase the Meiomi Pinot Noir for $16.

Vivino Piccini Memoro Rosso Review

Not to brag or anything but the Piccini Memoro Rosso is one of the top 5% of all wines in the entire world. For a world-class experience, why not give this one a go?

This red wine comes from Tuscany, Italy, and contains 14% alcohol. It pairs well with dishes such as beef, lamb, veal, and cured meats. If you’re planning a charcuterie board picnic, this wine is the perfect bottle to take with you.

The price for a bottle of Piccini Memoro Rosso is not listed.

Vivino Vigna Solata Rosso Review

Last but not least, we have another Italian wine, this one from Southern Italy. The Vigna Solata Rosso is a red vintage wine that comes from Sicily, Italy.

You’ll taste notes of blueberry jam, cherry, and cranberry, as well as grapefruit. It pairs well with many traditional Italian meals including a classic favorite: pasta.

This wine is also very affordable. Users on the app report that you can buy Vigna Solata Rosso for just $2.

Who Is Vivino For?

Vivino is for anyone of legal drinking age who has a taste for wine. The brand’s app will help you discover the best wine for your preferences as well as provide insightful information about specific wines that you’ll find on the market.

Another 5-star rater said: “Always great service & product selection. I purchased two different Sauvignon Blancs that I haven’t been able to find locally & with the free shipping, it was a win-win.”

Finally, I scrolled through Vivino reviews on Facebook to find a mixed bag of positive and negative experiences with the brand. Let’s start with the good stuff.

One user spoke highly of the brand’s customer service: “I bought some wine from Vivino in February last year. Yesterday I opened the last bottle, which unfortunately was corked. I sent them an email this morning and have already got my money back plus a 10% discount on my next order. Brilliant service!”

Unfortunately, I also stumbled across a few concerns from customers that I have to include in this Vivino review. Some reviewers said their shipment was delayed or didn’t arrive at all. While others reported receiving poor service from the brand’s customer care team. However, there were also a lot of reviews that reported the opposite.
