Live-synced
The chart refreshes on launch, when you return to the app, and quietly every few minutes. A small LIVE pill tells you it's current.
The pocket sommelier
Every vintage, every region. In your pocket.
Vintage IQ is a live wine vintage chart for iPhone and Android. Forty-nine regions, every year back to 1893, each one rated and explained in a sentence: what the wine is like, and whether to cellar it, drink it, or walk past it.
Free on iPhone and Android. No account, no sign-up, no ads. Just the chart.

What's inside
A cellar master's chart, always up to date.
The chart is curated by hand and synced live to the app. When a new vintage is assessed or an older one is revised, your phone has it the next time you open the app. No update to install.
49 regions, 2,490 vintages
Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Piedmont, Napa, Barossa, Port, Tokaji and more, grouped by country. Some regions reach back to 1893.
Rated and explained
Each vintage carries a 0 to 5 star rating, a one-line style profile, and a cellar outlook: cellar it, drink it, choose carefully, or avoid.
Filter in a tap
Narrow any region by decade, by rating, or by outlook. Find the best years at a glance, or the ones to steer clear of on a restaurant list.
Compare head to head
Put two regions side by side for any year. The stronger vintage takes the trophy, and you can page through the years without leaving the screen.
Works offline
The last synced chart is saved on your phone, so it still opens in a cellar with no signal. Light and dark themes follow your phone's setting.
In the app
What you can do, screen by screen.
Vintage IQ is deliberately small. Three tabs, no settings to wrestle with, and the chart is never more than two taps away.
-
01
Browse regions by country
The home tab lists every region under its country heading, with a vintage count for each. A search box at the top jumps straight to Barolo, Napa or Port.
-
02
Open a region's vintage chart
Tap a region to see every year it covers, newest first. Each row shows the year, its star rating, a one-line style profile and a colour-coded cellar outlook.
-
03
Filter by decade, rating or outlook
Three dropdowns narrow the chart in a tap. Show only the five-star years, only the ones to avoid, or only the 1990s.
-
04
Read a vintage in full
Tap any year for the full-screen view: rating, style profile, cellar outlook and a rating timeline of the surrounding years. Swipe left or right to move through the years.

05
Dig into special releases
Where the chart has more to say, extra boxes appear on the vintage screen: Champagne tête de cuvée declarations, Port house declarations and single quintas, and per-year notes.
-
06
Compare two regions head to head
The compare tab places two regions side by side, year by year, and marks the stronger vintage. Tap a row to see both full profiles for that year and page through neighbouring years.
-
07
Choose your look, take it offline
The about tab shows when the chart last synced and lets you pin a light or dark theme. The last synced copy is kept on your phone for cellars with no signal.
Reading a vintage
Three things you want to know, in three seconds.
Every year in every region answers the same questions: how good was it, what is the wine like, and what should you do with a bottle today?
