Won't help you find wines that match your criteria.

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.

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.

useful but needs improvement.

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).

Awesome

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

Well detailed

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

Wonderful for exploring and cataloging—and a suggestion

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!

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.

The best ever

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

Very useful and recommended.

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 !

Perfect for any wine lover!

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.

App pretty clean just need

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.

Very helpful

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.

Easily searchable

Great app. At first I hated having to enter in all the information, but the search feature makes up for it. Finally, a wine app that you can actually find the wine you are looking for.

Auto fill capabilities

I really thought this app was great until someone introduced me to the Vivino. You take a pic of a label in Vivino and it auto populates the wine details. I paid for the Pocket Wine App and it still doesn’t auto populate. It would also be nice to be able to plug-in of wine and have the wine details pop up to help me and my selection.

Excellent App

This is the best app I’ve seen for keeping track of my wine, understanding the grapes, and knowing how to pair foods with my specific wines. Great flexibility to set up cellar locations and vintages. Love it!

Held my database hostage until I payed up

“Upgrade” options included loose everything or pay up.

Easy to use

I’m just learning about wines and how to compliment/pair food. This app has been my go to.

Handy, but needs more variety of foods.

Needs more

I work at a winery.

People are often asking me what foods go with what or the history of a varietal. Pocket wine is my go to.

A great app.

I really like the concise description of the different grapes. It helps to understand what you’re drinking. I wonder if there could be a section added for adding tasting notes for when you’re out to eat or at a tasting and aren’t adding to your cellar? That would be great.

Top for looking for varietals

Go to for descriptions and tastes of various grapes

Excellent

Excellent app. Have used it for many years to catalog my wines, search by grape variety, style, my cellar, or favorites. Easy to add wines, pictures, and notes.
