Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Wine at 17K against Wine Cellar's 1. Wine also leads on chart position (#24 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Wine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and Wine Cellar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Wine Cellar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wine has 17K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Wine ships an update every 9 days, Wine Cellar fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
