Need Cheap Wine? There's An App For That

Cheap wine tends to be a staple for 20-somethings who like to get wine-wasted on the reg.

However, when it comes to buying bottles that lie on the lower end of the pricing spectrum, the quality of the wine can be seriously hit or miss.

Yep, you normally “get what you pay for” when it comes to buying wine.

However, there are some grapey gems hidden within the vast sea of shitty, inexpensive wines out there.

The only downside is that you have to know how to find these bad boys.

If you’re looking to find some fine wines on a Franzia budget, I have some good news for you. I stumbled upon a heroic iPhone app that will help you pick out the best cheap wines with ease.

That’s right. Antonio Galloni, the wine aficionado behind the website Vinous, just launched two new apps — Delectable and Banquet — that provide you with an extensive collection of helpful wine reviews right at your fingertips.

If you’re wondering how these handy apps work, they’re actually more simple to use than a corkscrew.

You can browse through Delectable’s huge database of over a million different types of wine, beer and spirits to discover glorious booze you never knew existed.


Or you can use your camera to scan the wine label in order learn more about a certain type of wine.


After snapping a photo, the app will match the label on the bottle with a wide range of reviews for the wine that include the opinions of professional sommeliers, as well as normal people.


Now once you figured out which wine best suits your personal taste, you’ll need to track that bad boy down.

This is where the other app, Banquet, comes into play.

Banquet tells you where you can find the bottles of wine that you want to buy and even lets you purchase your booze right through the app.

Seriously, thanks to these apps, finding good wines on a budget has never been easier.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
