Best wine app for knowing your preferences
This is the best wine app, and I’m amazed at how accurate the predictions are on how much I will enjoy a specific bottle. All of the other apps consider others’ ratings, but this app remembers your specific lines and dislikes, and seems to understand your preferences more, the more bottles you rate over time. The only additional functionality I wish it had would be an ability to scan the bottle instead of typing in the name to search. It would also be nice to have more than 1 friend. But all that being said, I’m hooked on this & will continue to use.

Needs an update
I love this app and the fact that it tells me MY taste, not someone else’s. It’s pretty outdated and hasn’t had an update in years. I find that I’m adding 90% of the wines I want to rate and they aren’t already on the app. Don’t give up on the app, give it an update!!
Love App
I love this app but when I changed phones my ratings didn’t transfer
So many possibilities for this app!
I’ve had this app for years and was excited to see the developers have put some recent work into it because I thought it had been abandoned. People like me NEED this app. Unfortunately, I developed a taste for wine right around the time wine became “popular”. So I have well-meaning friends recommending me wine all the time! Like...
“Yellow Tail makes good wines!”
“I had this wine by Barefoot last week...”
“Darling, you simply MUST try a good rosé!”
“Meiomi Pinot Noir is like...universally loved.”
No. No, it’s not. In fact, I have poured not one, but two bottles down my kitchen sink after deciding to give it a second chance since EVERYONE loved it. I don’t. It’s highly undrinkable to my palate. No offense. So maybe I’m a 2nd class wine snob, but going with what everyone else likes - which seems to be alcoholic sugar water - just wasn’t doing the trick. The thing Wine Quest gets right is that wines are HIGHLY based on personal taste so requests from friends are best taken based on the types, varieties, price points, etc. that friends with SIMILAR tastes drink...If you are lucky enough to have friends with similar tastes.
Wine Quest has the potential to be AMAZING - It just needs more people using it and more recommendations. It may also help to provide more of an education, as well, to help people determine WHY they like certain wines over others (I am still figuring this out!). This involves a lot of research, though, finding out what distinct flavors are in different wines (blackberry, cherry, leather, tobacco, cola, oak, earth, chocolate, etc.) and then creating a database classifying each wine in accordance. And algorithms to figure out what flavors (and flavors combined) make you double pour, what makes you sip with a wrinkled nose and what has you binning the whole bottle.
I’m rating this proactively because they built the platform...and now the people just need to come! Especially drinkers of dry reds who can help me from spending an hour walking around staring at labels indecisively. I need you people in my life. And this app. Raising a glass to future development and many more happy ratings! Thanks for creating and continued work on this app! I’ll start using it again. 🙂

Excellent predictions
My wife and I have yet to find a wine, predicted by WineQuest, that we did not enjoy. This app is easy to use and our friends have had the same experience as us. You should try it.
