Initial Thoughts
Fast & convenient to use with good info. I also like the characterization of wine types. I would like to be able to tailor or add information about wines and pairing.
Fantastic and detailed recommendations
I wanted to know which wine to serve with 3 different types of pizza which had very different flavor profiles. Pocket Wines delivered. I love this app!!!!
Used to be great
…now most time spent trying to get me to subscribe to premium. Practically worthless now
Go to app for wine education
This app comes in so handy when we go on wine tasting tours. Either I use it during the tasting to learn about the varieties being served or I use it afterwards to look up the various terms that are used by the winery hosts. I am very much looking forward to having this app available when we go to Europe this fall, so many new varieties to sample.
Fall 2023
I may be biased but there is scant information about the Canadian wine industry. The Okanagan Valley of British Columbia and the Niagara Peninsula of Ontario have matured into notable wine regions. Hence down to 4 stars on the app.

This app is great and full of information right at your fingertips on wine style, pairing etc

Sneaky upcharges
Limits what you can pair with unless you subscribe for a fee.
Food Choices
When i first came across this App many years ago i was impressed with the refreshing ease of use and variety of dishes. However nothing as changed. This could have grown to have been a fantastic reference for matching food and wine. Adding a few new matches each week. This is a real opportunity missed by the Apps creators.

Wine Nerds will love this.
I love being able to pick a wine to match food (or vice versa) straight from the app. I can scroll through my cellar from in the couch.
One of the few paid apps I’m glad I purchased.
The team behind this love Wine and are really responsive. Looking forward to the new features.

Hard to use
I find the user experience is a bit lacking and hard to use. So much of the content is locked that it’s hard to get a good feel for the value of the app and I just don’t think it would be worth paying for a membership
I work at a winery
People are constantly asking me what wine would go with what food. My winery works with a lot of different varietals. I am always looking up the varietal its characteristics and its history.
A must for wine lovers
This is a fantastic resource for anyone who enjoys wine or simply wants to know more about it. The developer is helpful and responsive to requests such as adding lesser known grapes to his database. The more I use this app, the more I enjoy and appreciate different wines and food pairings. Highly recommended!

A bountiful resource with great interface!
This iteration of pocket wine pairing has been such a bountiful resource for me, my partners and friends. It allows us to dive deeper into what we’re drinking, learning and discovering all kinds of fun facts about geography, food pairing, and wine culture around the world. I love the universal searching function (search countries, wines, grapes, notes, etc...) and that you can search for wine choice by food dish or food dish by wine choice. Love and highly recommend this to everyone who is curious and enjoys wine!

Dinner Party Success Partner
This is an essential tool when deciding my dinner party menus and getting the best food and wine pairing. I have learned so much of how to decide what to look out for and don’t even think about buying a wine without using this now. It’s flexibility is fantastic. If any tiny improvement I would love to have more help with dessert wines and pairings and how best to serve, room temp or chilled etc.

In restaurant or at home
Excellent app to have while dining out or at home to decide on the perfect wine. Syncs seamlessly between phone and pad to log your cellar contents.
Disappointing customer service
I downloaded this app to help me with wine(obviously), because I’m in the business I wanted something I could use as a reference for work. I tried to purchase the app for $3.99, so I could have access to everything. Unfortunately it doesn’t prompt me for purchase, initially I assumed it was a problem on my end ie credit card expired, wrong info, or my settings were off for in app purchases. It wasn’t any of those things. So I contacted Apple thinking something was wrong on their end, after trouble shooting we discovered it wasn’t them either. So I sent an email, over a week ago, to this company to see if something was going on on their end. Crickets. No one has reached out to me about getting this app, and I’m seriously disappointed. Which is unfortunate, as the other reviews have said, it’s a useful tool. But it isn’t all that useful unless you buy it, so I’ll be getting something else.

Lots of Uses
For such a cheap cost, this app offers everything I need - and more. My basic need was a good overview of the major grapes, but the fact it included food pairing made it even more useful. The wine cellar facility also means I don't need to use another app for that. A well thought out idea.
Terrific App!
This is perfect pocket wine guide. Food pairings alone will make you a fan immediately. Highly recommended
Great wine app
I recommend this app to all my servers and bartenders. If you are in the restaurant biz, or just love wine, you will love this app.
Really Good Wine App
This is a really well written, detailed app with suggestions for pairings of wine and food. It is a bit North American in tone but otherwise close to flawless at what it sets out to do. Well worth the space on your phone.
Excellent Wine App
Love the ease of this app. Food pairing is a bonus.
