Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Viniou at 99% against My Wine Cellar's 59%. Viniou also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). My Wine Cellar's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (197 vs 16). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
