Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wine.com at none against Delectable's 2. Wine.com also leads on ratings volume (85K vs 26K). Delectable's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (72% vs 62%). On price, rating, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.
