According to PR Newswire, By the Grape is the first ever wine magazine built specially for the iPad. It can be downloaded for $3.99 from the iTunes store. This first, international issue is devoted to the leading lady of line, Jancis Robinson, one of the world’s best-known wine writers.
“As the presenter of the world’s first TV series on wine, and as someone recognized as a ‘media pioneer’ by professionals in the business for this website’s very existence (http://www.JancisRobinson.com), I am always keen to champion new ways of introducing people to the pleasures of wine. Last year I therefore accepted an invitation to be involved in another wine-related media innovation.”
By the Grape is published by Derrick Neleman, founder of http://www.bythegrape.com.
By the Grape has unique, iPad-only content, is completely ad-free, and contains a documentary on Jancis Robinson filmed in her beautiful second home in the Languedoc by film-maker Fred van Dijk. The magazine also offers articles, interviews and quotes froom famous wine lovers such as Hugh Johnson and Gary Vaynerchuk.
Jancis Robinson is a Master of Wine and an internationally acclaimed authority on the subject. She made and presented many TV-series on wine, has her own column in the Financial Times, wrote several books and is the editor of the Oxford Companion to Wine. She was the first internationally published wine writer to start a website.
