Is it just me, or does the price point of this software push this app out of the "Novice Wine Person" range into the Connoisseur range?

$20 for an app the Average Joe might only get to use once or twice a year???

Now, if I did have that cellar chilled and properly humidified, this would be a steal...

I would say that someone who only needs it once or twice a year isn't Novice, but rather Beginner. I use the software probably once every couple of weeks, have around 3 dozen bottles of wine in my cellar, and I consider myself to be a complete Novice.

Realistically, the Connoisseur probably wouldn't have as much use for the software as the Novice does, because he would totally know what he's doing without the software.....

A quick Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=handango+coupon+code+axim) will turn up a 15% off discount code you can use.

I don't drink but a handful of bottles every year but I think I will probably still invest in this application, as I like to get wine as gifts for friends and family, and frankly never know what is good and what's crap. :D

FYI, if you download the trial from Handango, their current version is circa 2003, build 82.
If you go directly to Landware.com and download the trial here (http://www.landware.com/download/wineguideppc/index.html), you will get their most current version, circa 2004, build 85. They both look identical in the UI, so I would guess the 2004 ver has more up-to-date info.

The application looks excellent. Very Nicely Done Landware! :way to go:

As a subscriber to PPCThoughts you also get 15% off but do not know (well, doubt it, actually) if you can combine them.
