Vinolingo: Wine Pronunciation
Speak wine like a sommelier
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Order the Gewürztraminer without hesitation. Vinolingo teaches you to pronounce 214 of the wine world's trickiest names, and to know what they mean.
HOW IT WORKS
• 214 wine terms: grapes, regions, winemaking and label terms in French, Italian, German, Spanish, English and Hungarian, including New World regions like Napa, Barossa and Marlborough
• A clear reference pronunciation for every term (AI-generated audio)
• Say it back: Apple speech recognition scores every attempt. If nothing was heard, you're asked to try again instead of getting 0%
• Know what to fix: after each attempt you see what we heard and a tip for the typical mistake, and you can play your attempt right after the reference
• A simple respelling for every term and the IPA for over 100 of them
• Essentials sets for French, Italian, Spanish, German and New World wines, and new terms start with the beginner classics
• Spaced repetition: sessions of 10 terms, due reviews first. A term counts as mastered once you recall it on 3 separate days
• Short definitions: grape, region, style, label term
• Daily streak and a Progress screen
• A free structured tasting journal: appearance, nose, palate and conclusions
WHO IT'S FOR
• Wine lovers who want to order with confidence
• Sommeliers and hospitality professionals
• Wine course and exam students
• Anyone planning a trip through Bordeaux, Barolo or the Mosel

Ratings & Reviews
What's new in 2.10.0:
• The mistake check now also covers Italian, German, Spanish and Hungarian terms: after an attempt, the app can name the typical mistake it heard, not only in French.
• Practice feels calmer: the microphone button stays where it is, and you can tap Listen again at any time.
• Tasting notes: save a draft and finish it later. Deleting a tasting asks first.
• Term pages: the play button now stops the audio, and speed is three clear choices (0.5x, 0.75x, 1x).
• Cancelling a purchase no longer shows an error.
• Buttons respond the moment you touch them, and small controls are easier to hit.
• Small fixes and improvements.
