Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WinePair at none against Sipstr's 3. WinePair also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). Sipstr's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
