Cork keeps your wines and tastings in one place, shows you which are ready to open, and maps the vineyards they come from.
Remember every wine you taste. See the vineyard it came from.
Cork is a wine journal with a vineyard atlas built in. Scan a label, log a tasting, and Cork remembers the moment. Tap any wine in your cellar and zoom into its appellation on real satellite imagery, with Grand Cru, Premier Cru, and village classifications layered on top. From Gevrey-Chambertin to Barolo to the Mosel's slate slopes.
If you've tried a cellar app that looks like it's from 2004, or a scanner that can't read half your labels, or crowd ratings posted by people who barely drink wine, you already know why we built it.
WHAT CORK DOES DIFFERENTLY
Not a spreadsheet. Most wine apps feel like databases that make you do homework, or social feeds full of strangers giving everything four stars. Cork is neither. It's a private journal that remembers every wine you've tasted and the evening it belonged to.
Not a flat map. Every appellation in Cork is rendered on real satellite imagery, with classification overlays from Grand Cru down to village, and written context that reads like a knowledgeable friend, not a textbook.
Not crowd averages. Cork doesn't hand you a score from 50,000 anonymous drinkers. It learns your palate from the first tasting and sharpens every time you log a bottle. The recommendations are yours, not the internet's.
Not abandoned. Cork is built in Switzerland by a small team that actually drinks wine. New features ship every month. No ads. No data sales.
Not priced by the bottle. Cork Plus is one flat price. Collect a thousand wines and it still costs the same. No tier that punishes you for loving the hobby.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH CORK
Scan any label. Point your camera and Cork fills in the producer, vintage, and region in seconds. Works in cellar light, on aged labels, on auction tags.
Build a cellar that knows you. Track vintages, stock, and where each bottle actually lives. See drinking windows so you never open a wine too early or too late.
Log tastings you'll want to reread. Notes, ratings, the food, the company. Private by default. Shared with real friends when you want, never with followers.
Explore every region in depth. Interactive vineyard maps with real satellite imagery down to individual parcels. Grand Cru, Premier Cru, and village classifications you can toggle on and off. Zoom into Clos St-Jacques, compare the slopes of Rüdesheim, trace the Barolo communes one by one. Deep writeups on grapes and regions, written for curious humans, not for sommeliers lecturing.
Ask Cork anything. A companion that knows your cellar and your taste. "What should I open for duck tonight?" "What's ready to drink?" "What should I try next from the Mosel?" It answers with your own bottles and the world's wines together.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Cork now knows what a wine is like in the glass, not just where it comes from.
- Style shapes. More than 500 appellations now show their style as a shape you can read at a glance: body, freshness, tannin, oak and ripeness, with separate reds and whites. Tap a parcel on a region map to see it.
- Similar styles. Love Pommard? Cork points you to places elsewhere in the world that land in the same glass, and only names worth the trip.
- Ask Cork goes deeper. Ask for wines in the style of one you loved and get named producers and regions with the reasons why. Answers now link to every page Cork has.
- A card for every tasting. Saving a tasting gives you a card to share with the friends you were with, plus anything new it taught Cork about your palate. Several wines in one evening get a card each.
- Smarter after a scan. Add wines to your cellar and Cork tells you when to open them, who made them and what they are like, whether you added one wine or fifty.
- Cork's take. Every wine page now opens with a short read on the vintage and what to expect.
- More of the world. South Africa, New Zealand and Chile arrive with country pages and vineyard maps, alongside new Argentine regions and vintage ratings across Greece.
- Wine lists open in the app. Your PDF wine list now previews right inside Cork on iPhone, with sharing one tap away.
- Truer labels. A wine that says Garnacha stays Garnacha, and you can edit a wine's style yourself.
- Lighter and quicker. The app is about 90 MB smaller, maps load faster, and saving a batch of wines tells you what it is doing.
