ALYSSA RAPP - VIVINO FEATURED USER AND BOTTLENOTES FOUNDER - THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO PAIRING WINE WITH HALLOWEEN CANDY

Everyone has a favorite Halloween candy, but did you know you can kick your Halloween up a notch this year by pairing your favorite candies with a glass of wine? Vivino has a fun Infograph where you hover over a specific candy to see which wine is the perfect partner.

ABOUT THE VIVINO CANDY/WINE MATCH MAKER

• The idea for the match maker actually came about at the Vivino office.  We had a big bag of fun sized candies and we were giving "tasting notes" similar to what people say about wine, like describing chocolate as earthy or a sour candy having a strong bite. Rich candies had a smooth finish. When we stepped back and looked at what we had, we realized we had a fun candy pairing that we knew our users would love.
• We shared our thoughts with some of our featured users who are wine pros and sommeliers and they validated and built out the data.
• The infographic ended up being shared on Facebook around 50,000 times last year so we brought it back again this year.

ABOUT VIVINO
Vivino is the world's most downloaded wine app that lets wine drinkers learn everything there is to know about a wine simply by taking a photo of the wine label. Vivino collects ratings and tasting notes from nearly 12 million users to create the world's largest wine library, so if you're curious about a wine, chances are a Vivino user has already scanned it and we know exactly what it is.
