Or you may have asked yourself, “Should I open this now?” What if it’s an expensive bottle and you want to keep it for a special occasion, or it could be the perfect bottle to give as a new gift, when you go to someone else’s house?
While it’s generally considered rude to check the price of a gift someone has bought you, and that includes a bottle of wine brought to you by a guest, you want to satisfy your curiosity and check how much money someone paid for gave you a gift bottle of wine, here are five great apps that can help you with that.

APPLE’S NEW TACTICS TO BUY YOU MORE IN A DIFFICULT ECONOMY
Now you can check out how nice that bottle of wine is before the cork is unscrewed for any quantity, and while it’s generally accepted that the more spent on a bottle of wine, the higher the quality, there are still possibilities to find a good tasting bottle of wine at a lower price.
First, you want to check for sales and discounts, either on the apps we’ve mentioned, online, or in-store. Many wine retailers offer discounts on bulk purchases or on specific brands or types of wine. Also try lesser-known or off-brand wines that can offer excellent quality at a lower price. You may also wish to purchase older vintages which can often be found at a lower price than current vintages or vice versa. Another tip is to look for wines from less popular regions or countries, as they may be cheaper than wines from more well-known regions. Ignore the label. Whether you get the fancy design and intricate label or the plain Jane cap, the paper on the bottle doesn’t affect how your wine tastes. Remember that a good design does not indicate the taste or quality of the grapes.
