As the title says, this iOS app is normally $14.99 and has been dropped in the past to $12.99.
Now it's half price ($7.49)…just in time for some Christmas boozing!

I've been watching this app for a while waiting for a significant drop and here it is!

    Dear Mr. Halliday - please stop rating every wine you taste over 94 points

  • I've purchased this. Its quite a nice app. Way more wines than his books.

    The only thing I don't like is that the in-App update mechanism (presumably to update the DB is really slow!)

  • It gives the impression that you have to buy it again each year rather than a one-off purchase like most apps are.

    • In fairness, Mr Halliday's business is selling content not apps so I would I understand if an annual app purchase was required.

      A half price $7.50 app each Christmas would suit me fine.
