“The Ultimate App for Wine Enthusiasts” – iPhoneLife Magazine

Take your wine knowledge and enjoyment to the next level with our comprehensive app. It is one of the most popular wine apps in the USA, UK and Canada and is probably the best investment you can make in wine.

Simple and easy to use, the app provides you with insights that would otherwise take years to acquire. For example, understanding wine styles is a revelation and will enable you to approach wines with confidence, like a professional. After using the app for a short while, every wine store you walk into will become an Aladdin’s Cave of hidden treasures.

The unique cellar management function allows you to record and track your wines in a highly visual and meaningful way. Style icons are assigned to each wine and essential details can be seen at a glance. You can save as many photos as you like for each wine and add as much, or as little, information as you want, including notes and ratings. Editing is easy, and search and sort functions allow you to view your wines in multiple ways.

In addition, you can explore a range of dedicated sections in the app on wine styles, grape varieties, food pairing and a unique taste profiling tool to reveal the wines you love based on the foods you like, which is both fun and informative.

Key benefits include:

• Record all your wines by adding them to the app (add as many wines as you like, there is no limit). View them in a highly visual and meaningful format and profile your cellar in multiple ways.

• Sync your wines between iPhone and iPad – you can add the app to your other Apple devices free of charge.

• Gain a revealing insight into wine styles through clear and easy to understand definitions.

• Unlimited access to over 100 grape varieties and blends, showing key attributes, detailed descriptions, regional information and food pairing advice for each.

• Dedicated Food Pairing section with expert advice and pairing recommendations for hundreds of meal types.

• Discover your personal taste profile, and those of your friends and family, in the unique My Taste guide.

• Access an extensive Glossary of wine terms, specifically written for the app.

• Frequently Asked Questions section answers all the important questions you may have.

Please note that Pocket Wine does NOT try to sell you wines or review individual wines. The app is dedicated to maximizing your enjoyment and understanding of wine, while providing a professional platform to record your wine experiences and manage your cellar.

Pros and cons of Pocket Wine: Guide & Cellar app for iPhone and iPad

Pocket Wine: Guide & Cellar app good for

This app is amazing!!! So much info! Describes the flavour to be expected from each type of wine and includes food pairing suggestions! Search by wine style or grapes, make notes, and look up wine-related terms, all with beautiful retina display! Provides a quick and easy-to-use guide for wine lovers and people who are new to the wonderful world of wine!!! :)
This app is fantastic for all people, from the wine connoisseur to the beginner. Descriptions are easy to understand yet omit no important details. Love the mini-quiz to tell you what wine suits your taste. Large variety means that you can find the common varieties as well as the more obscure grapes. Only improvement to be made would to include more on blending wines. Other than that, a great app! Well done and worth the $!
Great app, perfect for newbies looking for a good introduction to wines without the snootiness of admitting to a connoisseur that you arent as knowledgeable as them.
for those who would want to foster their interest in wines. Just enough info to get you started, and not too much to make you confused!
This app is exactly what I needed given that I knew what "flavours" of wine I tended to like but not how to locate those same flavours when trying to select wine at a store or restaurant. The app works great (just watch the video at the devs website) and the info is written very clearly and accessibly. I even sent a question for the dev and they wrote back very soon with considered, clear, polite responses. Im impressed.
This is my favorite app and one of the best apps I know. This app works like a dictionary for so many kinds & types if wine I can find!! I have been learning a lot from this app with different types of grapes and regions, taste, style, and pronunciation of grapes etc etc. The description is nicely written, too. Also, the other helpful thing about this app is that every type of wine has suggestion of dishes / food. It helped me a lot when I was making dinner for my guests the other day. Thank you for the great app! :-)

Some bad moments

Id like more than a summary of the wikipedia page on wine. How about a camera function in order to categorize and classify previously tasted wines via pictures, a search function? Plain vague basics are not an application. This is not a tool in any way, its an intro book -read apps content once, youll know the stuff, and you can delete it
Im super disappointed :( I paid $3.99 for this App. It crashes EVERY TIME I click on anything other then my tastes. I was hoping to learn a thing or two about wine. Instead it seems I learned just because I pay for it does not mean its going to work. Jan. 4 2013. Still waiting on a response to my email. App still crashes. Do not pay for this. You will regret it.
... Unless you are willing to lose all your notes when they do an upgrade! Thats what happened to me when they upgraded my ap to this current version.
Lost all my wine notes with this new update! Although there may be lots of "enhancements" with the update, Id sure love to have all my notes back!!!
