Untappd for Wine: 7 Apps to Track Every Bottle

Updated July 21, 2026 · by the Crumble team

There is no official Untappd for wine — Untappd itself accepts wine check-ins but stays beer-first — so wine drinkers who want that check-in habit use Vivino, CellarTracker, Delectable, or Crumble, which add the bottle, cellar, and tasting-note features Untappd lacks.

The gap is real. Untappd's whole design — style badges, brewery pages, venue check-ins — was built around beer. Log a Burgundy there and you get a generic entry with no vintage, no producer structure, no tasting vocabulary that fits wine. A proper wine tracking app starts from the bottle: what it was, which year, how it tasted, whether to buy it again. This guide compares the seven apps that do that job in 2026, sorted by drinker type at the end — casual, collector, or social taster.

The picks at a glance

1. Crumble — best private wine journal to share with friends

Crumble is the closest thing on this list to Untappd's original appeal — log what you drank, where, with a rating your friends can see — pointed at wine and kept private. It's a friends-first food and drink tracker: strangers can't see your reviews, your spots, or that you exist.

• Half-star ratings, per glass or bottle. The same 0.5–5 scale Untappd users know, applied to each thing you drank rather than one blanket venue score.
• A free six-axis wine journal. The wine tasting journal scores each bottle on six flavor axes — structured notes without requiring wine-speak — and it's free, as are the matching coffee, tea, matcha, whisky, and beer journals. The optional Plus tier (from €1.99) adds an AI label scan that fills in producer, origin, and style from a photo.
• Your Vivino history comes with you. Crumble imports Vivino wine lists (and Untappd beer check-ins), so you don't start from an empty diary.
• Wine bars live on the same map as restaurants. Your wine spots, your friends' finds, and your dinner reservations share one map — see our restaurant tracking app comparison for that side of it.
• Free and installable anywhere. The core tracker — spots, ratings, wishlist, friends map — is free, and it runs as a Progressive Web App in any browser.

Where it's not for you: Crumble has no wine label scanner and no crowd database of bottle ratings — the map fills from what you and your friends actually log. If you want to point a camera at a label and get a global score, Vivino does that better. If you manage hundreds of bottles with drink windows, CellarTracker is the tool.

2. Vivino — best label scanner and crowd ratings

Vivino is the biggest name in wine apps and the default answer to "wine app like Untappd". Photograph a label and it identifies the wine, shows a community average from one of the largest wine user bases in the world, surfaces typical prices, and lets you buy through its marketplace. For standing in a shop aisle wondering if a bottle is any good, nothing comes close.

Trade-offs: Vivino is a public, crowd-driven platform with a store attached — ratings feed recommendations feed purchases. Your history lives in that ecosystem, and the journal side is thinner than the shopping side. If that's the part that bothers you, we wrote a full guide to Vivino alternatives.

3. CellarTracker — best for serious collectors

CellarTracker is the collector's database: two decades of community tasting notes attached to a proper cellar-management system. You track bottles in and out of your cellar, watch drink windows, value your collection, and read notes from people who cellared the same vintage. For anyone with more wine at home than they'll drink this year, it's the reference tool.

Trade-offs: CellarTracker assumes you have a cellar to track. If you drink wine at bars and restaurants rather than laying bottles down, its inventory-first model is overkill, and the experience is utilitarian rather than social. Casual drinkers tend to bounce off it; collectors never leave.

4. Delectable — best social tasting feed

Delectable pairs a fast label scanner with a feed of what winemakers, sommeliers, and critics are drinking — it's the follow-the-tastemakers wine app, with ties to the Vinous critic team. Scan a bottle, read expert and community notes, and build a scrollable history of everything you've tasted. A Premium subscription adds priority transcription for hard-to-match labels.

Trade-offs: the community is smaller than Vivino's and skews toward the wine trade, and the buying side is US-centric. It's a feed to follow more than a system to organize — great for taste-building, lighter as a cellar or memory tool.

5. InVintory — best for visualizing a physical cellar

InVintory is a cellar app for people who think of their collection spatially: it renders your actual cellar, fridge, or racks in 3D so you can see exactly where each bottle sits. The free tier tracks unlimited bottles with tasting notes; paid tiers add bottle-location tech, market valuations, cellar analytics, and an AI sommelier for pairings.

Trade-offs: like CellarTracker, it's built around owning bottles, not drinking out — and the flagship 3D features sit behind the paid tiers. Choose it over CellarTracker if the visual cellar is the hook; choose CellarTracker for the deeper community notes database.

6. Wine-Searcher — best for finding and price-checking bottles

Wine-Searcher is the odd one out: not a journal but a price engine. It indexes merchant listings worldwide, so you can search a bottle and see who sells it, for how much, alongside aggregated critic scores — handy when a restaurant list price needs a sanity check.

Trade-offs: it doesn't remember what you drank or what you thought of it — there's no diary to build. Treat it as a companion app, not the tracker itself.

7. Untappd — if your wine habit lives inside a beer habit

Untappd deserves an honest entry in its own comparison. You can check in wine there: log it, rate it out of five, attach a venue. If your friend group already lives on Untappd and wine is an occasional glass between beers, that inertia is worth something — your whole drinking history stays in one feed.

Trade-offs: everything wine-specific is missing. No vintage field, no producer or grape structure, no cellar, and a badge system that rewards beer styles — your hundredth Riesling earns you nothing. The moment wine becomes the main event rather than the exception, you'll want one of the six apps above. And if you're rethinking the beer side too, see our guide to the best Untappd alternative.

Which app for which kind of wine drinker?

• Casual drinker — you buy wine at the shop and want to remember which bottles were good. Vivino for the aisle decision; Crumble for the private "we loved this one" record you share with a partner or friends.
• Collector — you own more bottles than you'll open this year. CellarTracker for depth and community notes, InVintory if you want to see your cellar in 3D, Wine-Searcher on the side for valuations.
• Social taster — wine is something you do with people: wine bars, tastings, bottles split at dinner. Delectable if you want to follow the wine world's tastemakers in public; Crumble if you want the Untappd-style loop — check in, rate, see what friends are drinking — without a public feed.

Whichever you pick, log the bottle while it's open — a label photo and a half-star rating take thirty seconds. For the full method, from label capture to tasting axes, see how to track wine.

How we chose these apps

We build one of the apps on this list, which means two things: we know the category from the inside, and we have an obvious conflict of interest. To keep the list honest, every competitor description is drawn from the app's own published positioning — its website, App Store or Play Store listing — not from our opinion of it. We included an app when it (a) lets you record wines or wine venues you've personally tried, (b) attaches your own rating or note to each entry, and (c) offers a usable free tier — plus Wine-Searcher as the companion tool most wine drinkers pair with a tracker, and Untappd itself, because it's the app this page's readers are coming from. Where a competitor is the better pick — Vivino's label scanning, CellarTracker's cellar depth — we say so by name in its section.
