Always find the best vintage – whether you're a beginner or a pro. Is a 5-star vintage always the best wine for you? That depends! With the Wine Vintages app by VinoMobile, you'll always make the better choice at the wine shelf or in a restaurant. Use our massive database for a quick check, or selectively expand the app with in-depth expert knowledge. INCLUDED IN THE BASIC VERSION: The perfect foundation for every wine lover. • 7,500 Vintage Ratings: Quick and reliable 1- to 5-star ratings for 175 wine regions worldwide. Includes all top nations: France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, USA, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. • Always Up-to-Date: Your purchase already includes ratings up to the 2025 vintage. • Easy to Use: Simply select your country and region to see at a glance which years were the best. OPTIONAL: YOUR EXPERT SETUP (In-App Purchases) Are you preparing for a WSET exam, or do you want to dive deeper as a sommelier? Build your toolkit and choose the modules you need for your wine journey: • Module 1: Expert Analysis & Drinking Windows. Understand the "Why" behind the stars. Over 3,400 short reports explain the background of the weather (heatwaves, late frost) and the harvest. Plus: Drinking windows tell you when to open top wines and when it's better to wait. • Module 2: Power Tools. For maximum efficiency. The smart search automatically links appellations (e.g., searching for "Barolo" instantly shows Piedmont). With the pro filters, you can quickly sort by "5-star years only"—and the Apple Watch support is your discreet cheat sheet at the restaurant. OUR FAIR PLAY PROMISE (NO SUBSCRIPTION!): We hate subscription traps. That's why there are no subscriptions at VinoMobile. You buy the app and your optional desired modules once and can use them forever in that scope. Our annual data updates (with the latest vintages and regions) cost just a few dollars. The best part: You decide if and when to update. You can skip as many years as you like and still continue using the app without any issues. No ads, no hidden costs. THE VINOMOBILE SERIES This app is part of the VinoMobile series. Discover our other apps for wine enthusiasts: • Wine Tasting: Find the right words for your tasting notes. • Wine Profiles: Decode the typical characteristics of regions and grape varieties. • Wine Trainer: Deepen your expert knowledge for exams. • Wine Temperatures: Calculate the perfect cooling time.

Also, now I dont have to have encyclopedic knowledge of every single year and weather lol **Developer response:** Thanks! Keeping wine knowledge accessible and subscription-free is exactly our mission. Great to have a wine merchant on board who appreciates the honest model and the shortcut through the vintage jungle. Cheers! ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-05-01* Log me out locked me out made me buy it again. Worst app I ever owned a piece of garbage. **Developer response:** Your comment is unclear to us. Once you have purchased the app, you cannot buy it again, and you keep the purchased content forever. You don't need to log in or out for this either. Perhaps you’re referring to the paid update, but there’s no obligation to purchase it. The description and screenshots in the Apple Store show exactly what you get for your money. Our helpline responds within 24 hours and can help with any issues you may have. ### 1/5 — Asked to pay twice *2026-03-22, version 14.0* Paid for the 2025 update a while ago and now it’s been released you don’t get it and they want you to pay again. So no update that’s been for. ### 5/5 — Great App to check vintages *2025-12-30* Great App to check vintages ### 5/5 — Super App *2025-11-26* Die App ist mein Begleiter im Restaurant oder beim Weinkauf. Die App ist schnell, unkompliziert und super leicht zu bedienen. Ich kann sie jedem Weinliebhaber nur wärmstens empfehlen!!! **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung! ### 5/5 — What you need *2025-11-21* Go to for quick reference **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 2/5 — А за что платить? *2025-07-20* То есть 200 рублей за приложение и 500 за премиум версию и я получаю информацию, был год в регионе хорошим или нет?😂 **Developer response:** Хочешь ли ты, чтобы тебе продали вино плохого урожая в магазине или ресторане, решать тебе. Это приложение защитит тебя от этого и даст быстрый обзор даже опытным ценителям вина. И все это за меньшую цену, чем бокал вина. Будем здоровы! 🍷 ### 5/5 — Very handy *2025-02-09, version 12.4* Very good value for free! I use this a lot. ### 5/5 — Guter und schneller Überblick *2025-01-03* Sicher nichts für Freaks, aber sehr gut zur schnellen Orientierung im Restaurant oder beim Weinkauf. Hilft enorm die schwachen Jahrgänge zu meiden, und das in allen Weinbauregionen! Die z.T. maßlose Kritik am App ist mir unverständlich. Im Printbereich gibt es jedenfalls nichts besseres. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für diese objektive Rezension! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-12-27, version 12.4* Really useful app. Really helps with deciding what to buy ## Frequently asked questions about Wine Vintages ### What is the base price of Wine Vintages?
