StartU

Adegga, a social wine discovery by André Ribeirinho (chosen Person of The Year in Portugal’s wine scene), André Cid and Emídio Santos, just launched a new Design to turn their site friendlier to the user and to accommodate a bunch of new features.

The design was crafted by Corefactor (Hugo Baeta was involved), who share their office space in Lisbon with Adegga.

New features according to André:

• Wine Producers will be able to have Verified Accounts that allow them to post content, including video, on their producer page and their wines.
• An iPhone App is on it’s way due to popular demand (there’s already a mobile version at http://m.adegga.com/).
• An API is going to be released soon (Editor’s note: I guess the iPhone App will be built using it?).
• Adegga Selection will be a 15-day stock-limited special sale of selected wines, starting next week. Portugal only for now.
