Virgin Wines UK plc, one of the UK's leading direct-to-consumer online wine retailers, is pleased to announce the launch of its first-ever mobile app, which is now available on iOS and Android.
Providing a simpler, more intuitive way to browse, discover and buy wines from Virgin Wines' exclusive range, the app was designed as a natural extension of the website experience and makes finding wines customers will love faster and easier than ever. App users will receive additional offers, including exclusive and limited-time deals delivered via notifications, alongside the ability to earn Virgin Points on purchases.
The app also includes new functionality and enhances personalisation, including the new "wine cellar", enabling customers to build a personalised record of their wine journey. Users can rate bottles, save tasting notes, revisit past purchases, save wines for later and quickly re-order their favourites, all in one place, while also receiving personalised recommendations which improve over time based on their preferences and tastes.
The launch of the app represents an important strategic milestone within Virgin Wines' medium-term growth strategy, with investments in enhancing its use of technology being a key pillar within this. The app will continue to strengthen Virgin Wines' customer engagement, enabling use of push notifications, while also evolving its approach and driving user experience.
