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.

Response from developer

Thank you for posting your review and interesting suggestion. We are happy to consider all suggestions and will include them in the app if possible. If you would like to provide some additional information on your suggestion (through Support on the app), it would be much appreciated. Cheers.

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!!!!

Response from developer

We are delighted you are enjoying the app and find it helpful. Good food and wine pairings can greatly increase your enjoyment of both the food and the wine. Thank you for taking the time to post your review and may you enjoy many more great pairings.

Used to be great

…now most time spent trying to get me to subscribe to premium. Practically worthless now

Response from developer

The app structure has not changed. The free version gives you limited access to all areas of the app. This to allow users to determine if the app is right for them and meets their needs. If they decide it is, they can then subscribe on a monthly or annual basis, or purchase the app outright. If you tap on a restricted element in the free app the subscribe / purchase option will appear. The appearance of this screen is determined by the users actions. Hopefully, you will find a free wine app that meets you needs.

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.
