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. We hope you enjoy the VinoMobile apps and learn a lot from them. We look forward to your feedback in the App Store or via www.avinis.com.
