USER SCENARIO N O 2
Meet Terri, 23 during college she started to drink
wine with her friends and has
kept many semesters worth of scribbled wine
notes and empty bottles around
to remind her of the various wines she enjoyed. She has landed her first career job and has a new apartment in the big city. Now, she has the time and money to get serious about her passion for drinking wine. She is always connected to social media; her life is extremely busy and depends on several apps to organize it.
Terri is particular about her outfits, where she shops and
especially what she eats and drinks. Her success is in learning and appreciating the finer things in life. She goes out to dinner most nights and on weekends. Often for the harder to get in restaurants, she makes reservations a month in advance but at times has been told her wine choice was sold out that day. By using the Wine App, she avoids this situation. In addition to the having access to the city restaurant reservation network, she downloads the Wine Book App because of the “Sommelier� section. The wine 101 novice section provides her with basic knowledge about major wine growing regions around the world. It not only provides highlights of major regions but also describes the different grape varieties and range of perceived flavors, aromas and general characteristics of a wine.
Terri also writes notes and reads them on her commute to work. Her trip to the local wine store is not
overwhelming as it used to be as she now is able to make her selection with confidence based on her preferences, tasting notes and guidance from The Wine App. Her starting salary does not give her the luxury of getting it wrong. The Sommelier section has been endorsed by The New York Wine School. Exclusive restaurants send her invitations to free wine tasting events and she often meets many who shares her emerging passion of the grape. The little wine book app has started her on a happy enjoyable journey! Cheers!
