Doesnβt Label-Search Well Anymore
Response from developer
Sorry you are not finding the wines you want from label scanning. New wines are being added every day (Producers are releasing new labels every day too) The underlying scanning tech is advancing, with decoding, processing, and speed are all areas we are looking to advance. An alternative to scanning is to type in the wine name using Apple's Voice Control.
Wine reference
Response from developer
Thanks for the 5 stars. Prices update daily, and are mapped into the price history charts to help you know 'when to buy', and 'when to sell'. Look for the Analytics tab on search results pages to see price trends.
Great tool to evaluate wine you dig up in your cellar
Very useful tool for most wines on the market (a bit less so for some small volume producers).

Response from developer
Thanks for the Stars. We reach out to producers around the world and will list their latest vintages, labels, and notes for free. If you have a favorite producer not yet on Wine-Searcher, let us know at feedback@wine-searcher.com and we'll reach out to them.
Bad value
Edit: just to follow up on the developers response, bizarrely, they are mistaken. Jancis Robinson and Tim Atkins scores are available on the pro version, but any notes or commentary on a given wine are still behind a paywall on both of critics individual websites.
You pay ~$120 a year and donβt get to read what 2 of the worlds best wine critics (and arguably the worlds leading critic in JR), have to say about a wine. For that kind of money, for an app, a person should not have to pay for any additional wine critic notes.
Response from developer
Tasting notes are behind the paywall of individual critics. It's the individual critic's choice to do this. That's the critic's business model. Wine-Searcher helps people find the wine at the lowest prices and publishes notes where we have permission to. do so.
I literally do not know how I would survive without this app
Response from developer
Thanks for the 5-Stars. Every day, we update with new prices for wines, whiskies, and other spirits. And news and knowledge too. We'd love to hear what we can do to improve, email feedback@wine-searcher.com
An excellent app!
Response from developer
We're all about the wine! And thanks for the 5-star rating. We hope you continue to find great wine at low prices.
Good overall
Response from developer
'Discover' on the home page of the app gives a filter-by-any-grape choice. Not quite the same as your ask, but it is a way to find your favorite grape variety at an affordable price.
