WinePool vs Rickey

WinePool is a wine diary and cellar on your phone. Save the wines you have tasted and the ones you keep, rate them, see your personal statistics, discover wineries and wine trips. WINE DIARY AND CELLAR Mark what you have tasted and keep track of the wine you store: how many bottles, when they were bought, how long they have been lying. Ratings in half stars, notes, the occasion and the company. Any entry is easy to edit or delete. STATISTICS FOR ANY PERIOD A week, a month, a year or all time — one choice for the whole cellar. How much was opened and bought and for how much, favourite grapes and countries, the Dynamics chart. The No wine counter with a record and a goal — for those who value a pause. ADD WINE YOUR WAY Scan a receipt, photograph the label, scan the barcode, find it in the catalogue or enter it by hand. Attach several photos to a wine — from the back label text the app suggests the vintage, grapes and region. If the wine is not in the catalogue yet, create a draft: after review it becomes available to everyone. RECEIPT SCANNER A receipt brings the wine, price, shop and even the vintage into your history. Receipts from Russia and other countries are supported, prices are shown in the currency of purchase. Shops from your receipts gather in My wine shops — with distance and directions. CATALOGUE AND WINE CARD Grapes, region, winery, line, separate vintages, taste on four scales, aromas and food pairings as hand-drawn icons. Prices entered by buyers — with the shop and a "by buyers" mark. The Wine Atlas covers terms from maceration to biodynamics. WINERIES About 300 wineries from Russia and the world: each has a card with all its wines and tours. Partner wineries have their own page with the estate's story, a gallery, events and answers to questions. WINE TRIPS Excursions, tastings and tours to wineries from partner organisers: the programme, a request and a chat with the organiser right in the app, booking an event for a specific date. After the trip you can rate the visit. NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT WHAT IS YOURS The organiser replied to your request, a wine or review passed moderation. You choose what to receive, and WinePool news arrives only if you turn it on. SHARE Send a link to a wine, winery, event or tour — a friend with WinePool opens it right in the app. MAP AND WINE FEED A map of the places from your receipts — your personal wine geography. The wine feed has posts from wine media and authors. WinePool does not sell alcohol, take orders or arrange delivery. It is an information and reference service, a personal wine diary and wine catalogue for adults. 18+

Rickey answers one question: what can I actually make right now? Tell it which bottles are on your shelf. It works out every cocktail you can pour tonight from what you already own — and shows you the drinks you are one bottle away from, so a single trip to the shop is worth making. WHAT IT DOES Tonight's menu. Not a search engine full of drinks you cannot make. A short list of what your shelf can actually pour, ranked, with the strength of each one so you know what you are handing somebody. One bottle away. The drinks you are missing exactly one ingredient for, and what that ingredient is. The Buy tab ranks bottles by how many new drinks each one unlocks, so you buy the bottle that pays off rather than the bottle you happened to remember. Pouring, one step at a time. A written method with the amount as the biggest thing on screen, a gauge showing how full the glass is as you build the drink, and timings where they matter. Made to be read at arm's length with wet hands. Your bar book. Every drink you poured, when, and what you thought of it. Rate it, write a note, and find it again next time. Host mode. A short list for a party, batched for the number of guests, so you are not doing arithmetic in front of people. Shopping list. Add what you run out of as you notice it. 529 recipes, seven of them written by hand — a real method, timings somebody actually took, and a note about the one thing that makes the difference. HOW IT WORKS It works offline. The whole catalogue ships inside the app and your bar book lives on your phone. There is no network call on any path you need — the unlocks are worked out on the device, in front of you. There is no login wall. You can use every part of Rickey without an account, forever. An account buys exactly one thing: the same bar book on a second phone. Sign in with Apple, with Google, or with an email address, whenever you feel like it — or never. Everything is free. Every feature, for everyone, permanently. Nothing to unlock, nothing to subscribe to, no trial that ends. There is no paid tier and there is not going to be one. Written in English and in Mexican Spanish — written, not machine translated. PRIVACY Signed out, nothing leaves your phone. Signed in, your bar book is mirrored so a second phone can have it, and that is all: no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, nothing sold to anybody. You can export the whole thing as a readable file, and you can delete your account from inside the app. Please drink responsibly.
