Delectable not working? Here's a free app for your wine ratings

Its iPhone app was last updated in September 2021 and its Android app in April 2024. Both are still listed, and its website carries no notice about the app.

Of the eight reviews on the US App Store from May to September 2026, six said it had stopped working or lost saved wines. Adding a wine from its label stopped working for one person, and another's feed stopped updating. One user said more than 600 saved wines had dropped to about 25. Another said 349 reviews had gone.

Every wine you drink can go in, whether it came out of your own cellar or off a wine list. You give it a rating, when and where you had it, a note, and whether you'd buy it again. That last one is the answer you want in a bottle shop a year later.

The more you rate, the more it shows you what you keep going back to, by style, grape and country.

If two of you drink together, each person's rating stays theirs. When you both rate it highly, it says you both loved it. When you don't agree, it shows both scores, side by side.

The wine you own goes in the cellar, one photo per bottle: it reads the label and you check what it found. Each bottle whose grape and style it knows gets a drinking window, the years it's at its best.

Then it asks where you keep it. A shelf in a warm room ages wine faster than a wine fridge does, so the dates move to match. It's free to use. Here's what joining early gets you.

If you can still see your wines in Delectable, keep your own copy of the list while you can, even if it's screenshots. It's your record of what you've loved, whichever app you use next.

There's no Delectable import, so the wines go in by hand: producer, name and vintage, then your rating. Start with the ones you'd buy again.

Whatever you put into Barello, you can take out. In Settings, Download everything gives you your cellar, tasting history and ratings as spreadsheets you can open anywhere or take to another app.

It's free, there's no limit, and you don't have to ask anyone for it.

The spirits and cocktails sit on the same shelf as the wine, so tonight's answer can be a bottle that's ready or a cocktail you can make. More on keeping both in one place.

The whole house shares one cellar, so whoever opens the bottle, everyone knows it's gone.

And it doesn't sell you wine. I'm Pat, and I built Barello after a decade of scanning wine into Vivino. What came back was offers to buy more, not advice on what to open.

Pointing a phone at a label and finding out what the people who know wine thought of it. You could follow sommeliers, winemakers and friends, read their notes, and keep your own, with the people and places tagged.

No feed and no following: your ratings are for your house, not for an audience. No notes from sommeliers or other drinkers, no shop, no beer, and no Delectable import.
