## What is Pocket Wine?

“The Ultimate App for Wine Enthusiasts” – iPhoneLife Magazine

Take your wine knowledge and enjoyment to the next level with our comprehensive app. It is one of the most popular wine apps in the USA, UK and Canada and is probably the best investment you can make in wine.

Simple and easy to use, the app provides you with insights that would otherwise take years to acquire. For example, understanding wine styles is a revelation and will enable you to approach wines with confidence, like a professional. After using the app for a short while, every wine store you walk into will become an Aladdin’s Cave of hidden treasures.

The unique cellar management function allows you to record and track your wines in a highly visual and meaningful way. Style icons are assigned to each wine and essential details can be seen at a glance. You can save as many photos as you like for each wine and add as much, or as little, information as you want, including notes and ratings. Editing is easy, and search and sort functions allow you to view your wines in multiple ways.
 
In addition, you can explore a range of dedicated sections in the app on wine styles, grape varieties, food pairing and a unique taste profiling tool to reveal the wines you love based on the foods you like, which is both fun and informative. 

Key benefits include:

•	Record all your wines by adding them to the app (add as many wines as you like, there is no limit). View them in a highly visual and meaningful format and profile your cellar in multiple ways. 

•	Sync your wines between iPhone and iPad – you can add the app to your other Apple devices free of charge.

•	Gain a revealing insight into wine styles through clear and easy to understand definitions.

•	Unlimited access to over 100 grape varieties and blends, showing key attributes, detailed descriptions, regional information and food pairing advice for each.

•	Dedicated Food Pairing section with expert advice and pairing recommendations for hundreds of meal types.

•	Discover your personal taste profile, and those of your friends and family, in the unique My Taste guide.

•	Access an extensive Glossary of wine terms, specifically written for the app.

•	Frequently Asked Questions section answers all the important questions you may have.

Please note that Pocket Wine does NOT try to sell you wines or review individual wines. The app is dedicated to maximizing your enjoyment and understanding of wine, while providing a professional platform to record your wine experiences and manage your cellar.

### 1/5 — Won't help you find wines that match your criteria.

*2025-05-27*

Another wine app that can't help you find wines by basic properties like sweetness, alcohol %, or age. Let's say you want a Very Dry Merlot. The app can't help you with that. It can help you order one of their Merlot's but you can't filter for sweetness or anything else.
It SHOULD provide a list of wines from everywhere, based on what you're searching for, and you could then find who sells those wines. But nope. It only shows what they're selling. We want an app that's a "Consumer Reports" for wine, but I haven't found one yet.

**Developer response:** This review is for a different app, as we do not sell wines and never have. Neither do we recommend individual wines for users to buy. Given that you have posted this review in error, please remove it as soon as possible, as it is damaging and affects our overall rating on the App Store. Thank you.

### 3/5 — useful but needs improvement.

*2024-12-29, version 5.3.4*

I found the description of wines, their regions, and personalized taste profiles very useful. 
The food pairing portion is also very handy.
I write the app at three stars for the inventory portion.
there are other apps out there that will identify wines from a photo of the label. I would be more than willing to pay for the extra convenience (and not requiring a second app just to inventory the wine).

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-09-01, version 5.3.4*

Just starting my wine journey and this app is awesome to differentiate between styles and brands.

### 5/5 — Well detailed

*2024-05-28, version 5.3.4*

Well detailed and easy to understand wealth of information. I have it since 2015-6. It is truly a wine bible.

### 5/5 — Wonderful for exploring and cataloging—and a suggestion

*2023-11-03*

I’ve been greatly enjoying learning more about through this app! It’s also got powerful features for storing details about your wines. 
One feature that would make it even better would be a quick filter button to show only My Wines currently listed with at least one bottle in stock. While it is possible to search by location, since I have a handful of very small storage places, it makes it cumbersome so see at a glance what I have on hand. This would also make it easier for My Wines to serve as a “have tasted” collection because the wines not currently in stock would not be cluttering up the viewing space. Right now the only way to not see wines that have already been consumed is to delete them, but I’d rather keep them archived. 
Thanks for your app!

**Developer response:** We are delighted you are enjoying the app and thank you for your review. The feature you request is actually in the app already. When you go to the “My Wines” tab there is a Sort button on the top left of the screen (a down arrow symbol). When you tap on this Sort button you will see options to display you wines by all of the following: Date Added, Styles, Cellar, Vintage, Rating, Favorites and Wishlist. When you select Cellar from this list all of your wines with at least one bottle in stock will be displayed – these wines will be displayed in descending order based on the stock available with the highest displayed first. Tip: if you want to see, for example, what Bordeaux wines you have in stock just select Cellar from the Sort button and then type “Bordeaux” into the Search bar at the top of the screen. All of the Bordeaux wines you have in stock will then be displayed. Hope this helps.

If you have any further questions or comments just contact us through the “Pocket Wine Support” button in the More tab in the app and we will be happy to respond.

### 5/5 — The best ever

*2023-09-01, version 5.3.3*

This app is astonishing-all brakes places associations -it is the best book of its type I have tesd

### 5/5 — Very useful and recommended.

*2023-05-01, version 5.3.1*

A seriously useful app, if you have a passing interest in enjoying wines. From the start, you get asked some simple questions, to work out what wjote/red wines you will like. This is called 'My Taste' which builds a profile of your wine taste. It has an indepth guide of the variety of grapes all around the world, which tells you how it tastes and also a detailed description of the grape. Highly recommend this app.

 Updated review after a couple of years in use - This is a great wine app, especially if you want to record the wines you have tried and give them a score. It’s a good bit of software to refine wines you like and also to explore new wines going forward. It's always interesting to read up on the history and grape variety as you drink your wine at the same time... :) Recommended !

### 5/5 — Perfect for any wine lover!

*2022-12-07, version 5.3.1*

Absolutely perfect to rate, sort and learn about wines. Has become an indispensable part of my wine drinking routine and the best way to understand all about the different types as well as refining and understanding my own tastes.

### 4/5 — App pretty clean just need

*2022-07-27, version 5.3*

The app is pretty clean, straightforward and intuitive. I liked the explanations and recommendations. Just need a Dark mode and with that feature would be a 5 start for me. I’m planning on purchasing completely forever but until it’s get the Dark mode feature.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2022-05-07, version 5.2.1*

Pocket Wine is an informative and ideal app for anyone wishing to learn about wine. As a beginner, I learned a great deal in a short amount of time. This app contains a wealth of very interesting information, and its content holds my interest. I would highly recommend this app to anyone wishing to learn about the need to know information (and then some) about wine.
