*2026-04-17*

Invaluable tool for sommeliers and wine professionals

### 5/5 — 10/10 amazing!!!

*2026-04-16*

As a lover of wine, and slowly wanting to buy more vintages to save for some special occasions, this app has been amazing! I use it almost everytime I buy wine now, and I’ve never been disappointed. Highly recommend this brilliant app 🫶🥇

### 5/5 — Waitrose Wino

*2026-04-16*

Been using this for the weekly wine haul… no longer am I vacantly trawling the aisles for bargain basement booze. With  Cru Wine I’ve become a premium picker, snooping out the top-shelf tipples with ease, would recommend for ordering online as well which can be a minefield these days 😭 know what you’re quaffing, download this app!

### 5/5 — The cheat code

*2026-04-16*

As someone who loves dining out and considers herself an enthusiastic amateur when it comes to wine, Cru has genuinely changed how I approach a wine list. No more quietly Googling vintages under the table. This app gave me everything I need across hundreds of appellations. The depth is staggering (80 years of data!), but it never feels overwhelming because of the user-friendly interface. It’s become my go-to before any business lunch, restaurant booking or cellar (read: cupboard) purchase. If you care about wine, this is essential.
