Drync Wine App Offers Interactive Experience in Food and Wine Magazine's December 2013 Issue
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 02, 2013 -- In the spirit of the upcoming holiday season, Drync—the free iPhone app that allows users to find, track, share and purchase wine—is excited to announce it has teamed up with FOOD & WINE magazine to enable readers to instantly buy any wine featured in the 2013 Essential Holiday Party Planning Guide by simply taking a photo of it in the magazine with the Drync app. The issue is now available on newsstands.
FOOD & WINE’s annual party-planning guide features six pages recipes made especially for holiday entertaining with thoughtful wine pairings for each dish. In the issue, readers can scan any of the six suggested wines directly from the magazine and purchase them instantly through the Drync app.
This innovative approach to print advertising uses image-recognition technology to match the featured wines to Drync’s robust database of 2 million wines. Details on each wine are provided in seconds, including winemakers’ notes, collaborative ratings, and product pricing. Orders are securely placed through the app and wine is shipped directly to the consumers’ doorsteps. FOOD & WINE readers also receive a special promotion code for free shipping through the end of the year.
“We are thrilled to be using the Drync app to connect FOOD & WINE readers with featured content, in an interactive and actionable way,” said Brad Rosen, CEO of Drync. “We are bridging the gap between wanting to remember and buy a wine, and actually being able to do it quickly and easily.”
