WineBase runs on Windows 98/XP/Vista/7/8 and 10.
It also runs very nicely on Apple Macs that are running any of these versions of Windows.
With the data from Australian Wine Vintages by Rob Geddes MW built into the program it is the definitive reference source for Australian wines. Also included are glossaries of viticultural, tasting and winemaking terms, winery address information, vintage charts, a basic French primer and other points of interest.
It has more data fields (most are optional) than you'll ever need and more ways of organizing, searching and displaying them than you'd think possible. Listing everything the program does would take far too much room but simply stated if another program does it then WineBase probably does as well, but does it better and more likely than not did it first.
