A site much used by me. Incredibly informative & seems v accurate. ### 1/5 — Latest update makes me want to cancel *2026-06-20, version 7.16.1* It’s rare that an update actually makes an app LESS useful. It’s even stranger when the developer goes out of their way to remove a feature instead of just leaving well enough alone. The latest update reduces the ability to set a search radius - used to be you could choose 5, 10, 20, whatever miles - and instead only allows two options, in state only or “near me” which sets a hard radius of 50 miles. 50 miles is useless to people who live in major metropolitan areas - say, NYC, a huge market for wine searcher - when the city is about 10 miles wide and the vast majority aren’t driving. Same for Chicago, San Fran, wherever. Anyway, it makes the app somewhat useless for me so I’ll be cancelling my subscription until the search radius is settable again. ### 5/5 — Go to wine app *2026-06-18, version 7.16.1* I have been using this app for years. Best for finding the wines I am interested in ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2026-05-26, version 7.15.1* Love, love, love this app. I have the upgraded version and use this app daily to research and purchase wines. However, I wish it had 2 additional features…I can’t write notes about the wines I’m researching and thinking of purchasing without writing a review. If I already tried it I wouldn’t need to document the research. I have to use another well known app to make my notes. The second is that the app does not summarize your favorite wines by wine shops. Everyone knows buying in cases optimizes the shipping costs/bottle. So I have to use another excel spreadsheet to track which shops are carrying my soon to be purchased wines so that when I make a case I can order. Other than these issues I love this app!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-14, version 7.15.1* I’ve been using this app for years. It’s really easy to use and has been very helpful end looking to buy, drink now etc and it’s free! ### 1/5 — Total scam *2026-03-06, version 7.12* I was hopeful, but ultimately astonished that they do not control any of the people that participate. I reached out to Wine-Searcher directly and asked for help when they failed to ship me a case of wine that I ordered. They said I need to take it up with the shop I ordered it from. Offered no support no help. I subsequently tried to pursue the individual purveyor to no avail. $700 down the drain. Do not use the people associated with this app under any circumstance. ### 1/5 — New version 6/3/26 *2026-03-06, version 7.12* Plenty of timeout issues and bad gateways… ### 5/5 — Excellent site *2026-02-15, version 7.11* This is probably the best site for finding the best price on your favorite spirit or wine, it has become our go to for the best prices ### 4/5 — Greta app *2026-02-14* Although wine classification is very subjective, the app brings good guidance on choosing. I like it. The only negative comment is about prick in Brazil. It does not shot the prices or the most common sellers and generally shows discount prices. ## Frequently asked questions about Wine ### What does the Wine-Searcher app do?
