1. 1

   Vivino

   A wine app and marketplace that identifies a bottle from a label photo and shows community ratings, reviews and prices.

   9.3overall

   A wine app and marketplace that identifies a bottle from a label photo and shows community ratings, reviews and prices.

   Best forEveryday wine drinkers who want free ratings for almost any bottle

   Adoption data

   70 millionVivino says more than 70 million wine lovers use its app, in its US App Store listing.

   Apple App Store, Vivino: Drink The Right Wine on the US App Store (2026): “Join over 70 million wine lovers who use Vivino to scan labels, track their tastes with ratings, and buy wines directly in the app.”

   Vivino ranks first because its free app answers the most common wine question, is this bottle any good, in one photo. Its US App Store listing says more than 70 million wine lovers use it, and it covers 16 million wines from 245,000 wineries. A label scan returns the community rating, reviews, tasting notes and food pairings, and a separate scanner reads a whole restaurant wine list. Every wine you rate goes into a personal journal, and a cellar section records bottles you own with drinking status. Vivino also sells wine from more than 500 merchants, so prices sit next to ratings. Premium, from $4.99 a month on the US App Store, adds unlimited use of the AI Sommelier chat and the wine list scanner. The limit is depth for collectors: there is no rack or bin map, valuation history or receipt import, so people with large cellars usually add CellarTracker or InVintory.

   Strengths

   • +Free to scan, rate and log wines
   • +Over 70 million users, the largest community in this list
   • +Buy wine in the app from more than 500 merchants

   Limitations

   • −Unlimited Sommelier chat requires Premium
   • −Cellar tools are lighter than CellarTracker or InVintory, with no bin-level map
   • −iPhone app only on iOS, not designed for iPad

   SummaryVivino is the best free wine database for most drinkers because over 70 million users have rated wines across its 16 million listings. Collectors who need bin locations and valuations should add a cellar app.

2. 2

   CellarTracker

   A free wine cellar tracker and community database of tasting notes, with a paid subscription priced by cellar size.

   9.0overall

   A free wine cellar tracker and community database of tasting notes, with a paid subscription priced by cellar size.

   Best forCollectors who want a free cellar inventory backed by millions of tasting notes

   Adoption data

   8.8 millionCellarTracker says it has over 8.8 million users worldwide, in its US App Store listing.

   Apple App Store, CellarTracker: #1 Wine Tracker on the US App Store (2026): “over 13.6 million wine ratings and reviews, and over 8.8 million users globally”

   CellarTracker ranks second because it is the deepest free cellar tool in this list. Its App Store listing says it has over 8.8 million users, more than 5 million unique wines and over 13 million ratings and reviews, of which 11 million are community tasting notes and 2 million are professional reviews. Inventory tracking, community notes and community ratings are free. Bottles go in by label scan, barcode or a photo of the receipt, and the app tracks storage locations, pending deliveries and several storage sites. A subscription, priced by cellar size from $40 a year for up to 100 bottles, adds market and auction prices, automatic cellar valuation, drinkability alerts, printable barcode labels and the CellarChat AI assistant. The support page says no one is locked out of their data if they stop paying. The cost scales with the cellar, reaching $500 a year above 2,500 bottles, and casual drinkers may find Vivino quicker for one-off scans.

   Strengths

   • +Inventory and community notes stay free for any cellar size
   • +Database of more than 5 million wines with over 1,000 added each day
   • +Data stays accessible if a subscription lapses

   Limitations

   • −Market prices, valuation and drink window alerts require a subscription
   • −Subscription price rises with cellar size, up to $500 a year for 2,500+ bottles
   • −The 14-day trial is only available through the iOS app

   SummaryCellarTracker is the best choice for collectors because inventory and more than 13 million reviews are free. Its paid tier is worth it mainly for valuation and drink window alerts.

3. 3

   Wine-Searcher

   A wine price comparison database that shows where to buy a bottle, what it costs and how critics scored it.

   8.5overall

   A wine price comparison database that shows where to buy a bottle, what it costs and how critics scored it.

   Best forBuyers who want to find a specific bottle and check a fair price

   Adoption data

   17KWine-Searcher's app has about 17,000 ratings on the US App Store, averaging 4.8 out of 5.

   Apple App Store, Wine-Searcher on the US App Store (2026): “17K Ratings 4.8”

   Wine-Searcher ranks third because it answers a question the others do not: where can I buy this bottle and what should it cost. Its App Store listing says the app searches 8 million wine offers from 55,000 merchants. You scan a label or type a name, and the result shows prices across vintages, critic scores, grape and region details and stores that stock it, including shops near you. You can rate and review wines and save ones to try. The encyclopedia covers producers, regions, appellations and grape varieties, and the same search works for Scotch, bourbon, Cognac, gin, rum, tequila and beer. The app is free to use, and Wine-Searcher PRO is sold as an in-app subscription listed at $10.99 and $98.99 on the US App Store. It is not a cellar manager, so it fits best beside Vivino or CellarTracker; CellarTracker already shows Wine-Searcher prices inside its own app.

   Strengths

   • +Free to search and compare prices
   • +Covers spirits and beer as well as wine
   • +Encyclopedia of producers, regions, appellations and grapes

   Limitations

   • −No cellar inventory or valuation tools
   • −PRO features cost $10.99 on the App Store
   • −Community ratings are smaller than Vivino's or CellarTracker's

   SummaryWine-Searcher is the best choice for buyers because it lists 8 million offers from 55,000 merchants. It does not track a cellar, so pair it with a cellar app.

4. 4

   InVintory

   A wine cellar manager with 3D cellar maps, an AI wine assistant and collection value tracking.

   8.3overall

   A wine cellar manager with 3D cellar maps, an AI wine assistant and collection value tracking.

   Best forSerious collectors who want a visual map of every bottle and valuation reports

   Adoption data

   5.2KInVintory's app has about 5,200 ratings on the US App Store, averaging 4.8 out of 5.

   Apple App Store, InVintory: Wine Cellar Manager on the US App Store (2026): “5.2K Ratings 4.8”

   InVintory is built for collectors who want to see their cellar, not just list it. The free plan already allows unlimited bottles, up to 10 cellars and fridges, imports from a spreadsheet or another platform, CSV export, private or public reviews, market prices on individual wines and drink windows on select wines from a database of more than 2 million. Premium, at $149.99 a year, adds 3D cellars and fridges where you can locate any bottle, an AI wine assistant, total collection value, collection analytics, purchase and delivery tracking, barcode labels, critic reviews from publications such as Wine Spectator and Decanter, receipt scanning and wine menu scanning. It can also connect to AI assistants through MCP. The app imports collections from CellarTracker and Vivino. The trade-off is cost: Premium is the priciest plan here, and its community data is thinner than the two leaders.

   Strengths

   • +Free plan has no bottle limit
   • +3D cellar view to locate any bottle
   • +Premium can connect to AI assistants through MCP

   Limitations

   • −Premium costs $149.99 a year, the most expensive plan in this list
   • −Collection value and critic reviews sit behind Premium
   • −Smaller community than Vivino or CellarTracker

   SummaryInVintory is the best choice for collectors who want a visual cellar because Premium maps every bottle in 3D. Its free plan already tracks unlimited bottles.

5. 5

   Oeni

   A freemium wine cellar manager with a label scanner, peak date tracking, monthly cellar valuation and food pairings.

   8.3overall

   A freemium wine cellar manager with a label scanner, peak date tracking, monthly cellar valuation and food pairings.

   Best forCollectors who want to know when each bottle peaks and what the cellar is worth

   Adoption data

   2,000,000Oeni says its app has 2,000,000 downloads on app stores, on its website.

   Oeni, Oeni: The #1 Wine Cellar Management App (2026): “2,000,000 Downloads on app stores”

   Oeni focuses on two questions collectors ask: when should I open this, and what is it worth. Its site says it has 2,000,000 downloads on app stores. A label photo matches the wine against more than 400,000 wines and 2,400 appellations, and for each vintage Oeni calculates a peak date and lists the bottles that are ready now. It looks up the market price of each bottle and updates the cellar's total value every month, comparing purchase price with current value and tracking spending by month and year. A pairing tool with more than 5,400 food and wine pairings ranks your own bottles for tonight's dish. Newer features include a 3D cellar and tracking of en primeur purchases until delivery. Oeni is freemium, with a 30-day free trial of Oeni Plus, but we could not confirm a single US price, so pricing is marked pending. Its database is much smaller than the two leaders.

   Strengths

   • +Freemium, with a 30-day free trial of Oeni Plus
   • +Tracks purchase price against current value bottle by bottle
   • +Available on the web as well as iPhone and iPad

   Limitations

   • −Database of 400,000+ wines is far smaller than Vivino's or CellarTracker's
   • −US price for Oeni Plus not shown clearly on the vendor's site
   • −Market value can be missing for less popular wines, the FAQ says

   SummaryOeni is the best choice for collectors focused on timing and value because it calculates a peak date per vintage and updates cellar value monthly. Its smaller database means more manual entries for rare wines.

   8.0overall

   A paid wine cellar manager with up to 50 fields per wine, visual racks and ratings from 70+ guides.

   Best forDetail-minded collectors who prefer a one-time purchase over a subscription

   Adoption data

   1.9KVinoCell has about 1,900 ratings on the US App Store, averaging 4.6 out of 5.

   Apple App Store, Vinocell: Wine cellar manager on the US App Store (2026): “1.9K Ratings 4.6”

   VinoCell is the choice for collectors who want detailed records without a subscription. It costs $9.99 once on the US App Store. Each wine can hold up to 50 fields, including country, region, appellation, varietals, vintage, color and alcohol, and search works across more than 40 of them. The visual cellar offers 50 rack and shelf layouts so you can place each bottle. Tasting notes use a 5-star, 20-point or 100-point scale, and the app stores ratings from more than 70 guides and competitions, including Parker and Wine Spectator. A database of more than 175,000 wines speeds up entry, or you add wines by hand. Statistics break the collection down by country, region, vintage, varietal and purchase, and data moves in and out through CSV, Excel and PDF, with sync across devices through a VinoCell account. There are no community ratings, no market valuation and no free tier to try first.

   Strengths

   • +One payment of $9.99 with no subscription
   • +Search across 40+ fields
   • +Tracks producers, merchants and contacts

   Limitations

   • −No free version
   • −Database of 175,000+ wines is the smallest of the cellar apps here
   • −No community ratings or market valuation

   SummaryVinoCell is the best choice for collectors who avoid subscriptions because it costs $9.99 once and stores up to 50 fields per wine. Drinkers who want community ratings should look at Vivino or CellarTracker.

7. 7

   WineRatings+ by Wine Spectator

   Wine Spectator's app of blind-tasted scores and tasting notes, with vintage charts and personal lists.

   7.8overall

   Wine Spectator's app of blind-tasted scores and tasting notes, with vintage charts and personal lists.

   Best forDrinkers who trust professional critic scores over community ratings

   Adoption data

   1KWineRatings+ has about 1,000 ratings on the US App Store, averaging 4.7 out of 5.

   Apple App Store, WineRatings+ by Wine Spectator on the US App Store (2026): “1K Ratings 4.7”

   WineRatings+ is Wine Spectator's database in an app, built for people who want a critic's score rather than a crowd average. The listing says it holds more than 400,000 expert ratings and tasting notes and adds over 1,000 wines a month, and that the magazine's tasters blind-taste every bottle. Vintage charts show whether a wine is ready, past its peak or worth holding. You can add your own ratings, notes and photos, save favorites and build gift lists to share. Full access costs $2.99 a month, or $29.99 a year, after a 30-day free trial, and it is a separate subscription from Wine Spectator magazine and WineSpectator.com. The app does not list a label scanner or cellar inventory, and its user base is small next to the community apps, with about 1,000 ratings on the US App Store.

   Strengths

   • +Scores come from blind tastings by Wine Spectator editors
   • +Low price at $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year
   • +30-day free trial

   Limitations

   • −Subscription required for full access; no permanent free plan
   • −No label scanner or cellar inventory in the listing
   • −Separate subscription from Wine Spectator magazine and WineSpectator.com

   SummaryWineRatings+ is the best choice for critic-score readers because $2.99 a month opens more than 400,000 Wine Spectator ratings. It does not manage a cellar.

8. 8

   Pocket Wine

   A wine guide and simple cellar log with grape profiles, food pairing and a taste profiling tool.

   7.5overall

   A wine guide and simple cellar log with grape profiles, food pairing and a taste profiling tool.

   Best forBeginners who want a wine guide and an unlimited cellar log for under $1 a month

   Adoption data

   657Pocket Wine has about 657 ratings on the US App Store, averaging 4.7 out of 5.

   Apple App Store, Pocket Wine: Guide & Cellar on the US App Store (2026): “657 Ratings 4.7”

   Pocket Wine is a learning guide with a cellar log attached, and the cheapest paid app in this list. Its subscription costs $0.99 a month on the US App Store, with a $5.99 annual plan and a $19.99 lifetime purchase. The cellar section has no limit on the number of wines, lets you add photos, notes and ratings, assigns a style icon to each wine and syncs between iPhone and iPad. The rest of the app teaches: profiles of more than 100 grape varieties and blends, a food pairing section for hundreds of meal types, a My Taste tool that suggests wine styles from foods you like, a glossary and an FAQ. The listing says plainly that Pocket Wine does not sell wine or review individual wines, so there is no label scanner, no wine database and no community scores. It suits beginners, not collectors who want valuations.

   Strengths

   • +Cheapest paid option at $0.99 a month or $19.99 lifetime
   • +Supports Family Sharing
   • +Does not sell wine or push purchases

   Limitations

   • −Does not review individual wines or show community ratings
   • −No label scanner or wine database to match bottles
   • −Apple devices only

   SummaryPocket Wine is the best budget pick for beginners because $0.99 a month buys an unlimited cellar log and a guide to 100+ grapes. It has no ratings database, so pair it with Vivino.
