Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wine.com at none against Wine's 2. Wine.com also leads on ratings volume (83K vs 17K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Wine's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
