I had the pleasure of catching up with Andy Hadfield of Real Time Wines (social wine discovery app) a few days ago where he told he about his application and provided me with some interesting statistics that he felt the folks who follow iMod would enjoy.
As a wine lover myself, I wanted to share these stats with you as it’s almost Christmas, the perfect time to buy a friend or loved one a nice bottle for them to enjoy.
The top 10 trending wines in South Africa at the moment are as follows:
- The Chocolate Block by Boekenhoutskloof (2011) R180
- Chardonnay Pinot Noir by Haute Cabriere (2011) R70
- Frontier by Guardian Peak (2007) R70
- MCC Blanc de Blanc by Secret Cellar (2007) R103
- Synergy by Beyerskloof (2009) R80
- Whole Berry by Springfield (2010, Cabernet Sauvignon) R103

Really interesting lists, I’m upset that I only recognise a handful of them and realise that I’m going to have to go shopping and stock up, because some of these sound incredibly delicious, or at least the reviews make them sound that way!
