Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Wines at 5.0 against Wine Wizzard's 3.8. Wines also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Wine Wizzard's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 60%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wine Wizzard sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Wines sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wines holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 5 respectively.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wine Wizzard ships an update every 6 weeks, Wines every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
