ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wines holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of gotBottle's written reviews are positive against 60% of Wines's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

gotBottle ships an update every 2 weeks, Wines every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
