The Top12Wines application provides a vast catalogue of the best South African wines along with the results of weekly Top12Wines tastings, and current rankings in 30 categories. Wines are displayed per category such as varietals and blends and can be classified by their rank in the Top12Wines competition. Wine lovers who want to participate in the wine tastings and ranking series have access to purchase in-App tickets for the tasting events organised in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Paris. More cities will be available soon.
“We are proud to have been chosen by BlackBerry as one of the apps featured at the launch of the new BlackBerry® 10 platform,” said Frederic Dasse, founder of Top12Wines. “This application will broaden the Top12wines community and will allow everyone to look at the rankings, tasting results and book tastings at any time through their brand new BlackBerry® Z10 smartphone”.

About Top12wines
Top12wines has been organizing since 2010 open wine contests where anyone can participate to blind tastings to rate the wine they prefer. Virtually all the most awarded wines in every possible categories, make the line up of the Top12Wines tastings, and an ongoing ranking eliminates the ones which do not perform best, while others come to replace them and challenge the leaders. All the wine participating to the contest are therefore supposed to be the best in their respective categories, being the most awarded, and having to prove themselves thereafter on a continuous basis in front of the public. Participating to a Top12Wines tasting is obviously a unique opportunity for wine lovers to taste all these great wines at the same time, around a restaurant table, with old or new friends, in a friendly, relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere. For those who will never actually participate in a Top12Wines tasting, the tasting results are available to anyone. Wine lovers can also use Top12Wines rankings as a recommendation for their next purchase or can buy these very best wines from www.top12winesstore.co.za.
