A good wine app can do more than keep track of your bottles of Cabernet and Shiraz.
A wine app worth downloading can help you pair wine with food, compare wine suppliers and prices, read reviews written by other wine aficionados, and let you upload your thoughts and photos of your latest glass to share with your friends.
Here are some of our favorite wine apps on iOS and Android worth investing your time in.
CellarTracker is one of the most popular wine-tracking apps due to its barcode scanning functionality and listing of over 4 million wines.
This app may not look as visually impressive as other apps in the Apple or Google Play app store, but it scans and processes wines the fastest. It takes less than a second to read a barcode and render a result.

Vivino
What We Like
Social media integration.
Wine reviews are easy to read and create.
An impressive amount of data to dig into.
Vivino is a social media app for wine enthusiasts. You can post photos of your latest bottle of wine, write reviews, like photos and posts made by others, and comment on content for deeper conversations about which wine to try (or not try).
The app can connect to social media which makes populating your Vivino friends list incredibly easy and fast. It also recommends featured users who frequently post about new wines and have built up a significant following.
Vivino can help you when shopping for wine in a physical retail store, too. Simply by taking a photo of a bottle of wine, the app pulls up a collection of information and ratings made by other users, making the decision to buy much easier.

Delectable
What We Like
Fast, mostly consistent scanning feature.
Well-designed; easy navigation.
Delectable is one of the best smartphone apps for scanning wine bottles to get user reviews, ratings, and background information. Using your phone’s camera, Delectable takes only a few seconds to take a photo of a bottle and retrieve data on it.
Most popular wines register within the app correctly; however, some niche brands are missing, and you need to enter them manually.
Once a bottle is in the Delectable system, though, it appears next time a user scans it—and shouldn’t cause any problems after the initial registration.

Hello Vino
Hello Vino is one of many apps that let you rate your bottles or glasses of wine, but its most noteworthy feature is its tool for pairing wine with food.
The app conveniently breaks down food by ingredients or occasion. You can easily find a wine to have with your sausage pizza or to give as a gift at a dinner party serving Chinese food with Moo Shu pork.
