It's only $.99
But a total waste of $.99!

Description
Wine Maps provides a handy visual reference, for the wine regions in nineteen countries around the world. Its a great tool for anyone looking to learn more about the world of wine, and even better for those looking for maps to study from. Its perfect for those teaching others about wine, and Wine Maps can even provide printouts of its maps using Air Print (which can be used in a commercial setting).
Wine Maps focuses exclusively on mapping the wine regions of the world. It offers one hundred and twelve static maps, defining the wine regions. It is NOT an encyclopaedia of wine, and does not give any textual definitions or comment. Wine Maps is a purely visual reference, which allows you to search for the location of a wine region. With the exception of the top wineries in Bordeaux, individual vineyards do not appear on the maps. There's just too many of them!
Each map is one or two taps away from the main screen. Simply choose from the main wine region list, and you instantly have a map of that region. You can search for regions by name, and Wine Maps will neatly zoom into its location. Each map has the wine regions clearly presented, along with rivers, cities, and major towns.
Wine Maps is also bundled with a companion app for your Apple TV. Allowing you to show of your wine knowledge, and TV simultaneously!
Feature Summary:
• Locate one of 1425+ wine regions in seconds
• 112 Maps covering 19 countries
• Accessible top down approach
• iPad, iPhone and Apple TV support

• Works offline
• Currently on its 21st update. Wine Maps is actively developed (now with a version for the Mac desktop).

Great way to start
This is a great way to find a location to visit and enjoy the great wines
2017-04-19
Wine Lover? Studying for CS, WSET or CSW? Get This App!
Great app with great detail on world wine regions. The level of detail is solid and up to date - even has the newest AVAs in the USA. Willcox, AZ Sept 2016? Yup, it's in there. If you want to understand where you wine is coming from, get the app! If you are studying, get the app! I have it open every time I am studying. Thanks Jon! Great work!

Waste of money
The maps are so basic that if you know anything about wine, you don't need this app.
2017-01-13
Perfect Detail
I am currently studying for several wine exams. This has been a great, quick and thorough reference tool. Thanks for creating it!
2017-01-13
Good reference
You may find these maps with some effort on line. But 99 cents are worth to spend to get rid of even this effort by organizing all wine regional maps at one place.
2016-11-21
Topography Anyone?
Honestly, you can find maps this basic online with precious little effort. The major issue is the lack of topographical information. Really wasn't worth 99 cents.
2016-08-22
Great app
Simple, quick. Great reference tool!
2016-05-21
Awesome Maps!
Most world section maps are very well shown and delineated. There are however some sections of the world which to meet some development. This map of wine areas in the Internet. Like anything it will only get better with time.
2016-04-25
Very good!
Great App Well done!
2016-04-24
Absolutely the best there is, however...
Now I am in to studying South America, a more detailed map of Argentina, Chile, and even Uruguay would be so helpful. For example Mendoza alone has 12 different sub areas turns out
2016-04-19
Just what I needed
Has been very helpful. Thorough. Thanks
2016-04-10
It's a good app but...
It's been a while since the app has been updated and some states/wine regions could use updates, one example is Willamette Valley in Oregon has new sub-appellations. Also, some explanations behind the color and text variations would be helpful, especially for people unfamiliar with the region/appellation/sub-appellation...
The maps are good, the app just needs to be updated and go a few steps further.
2015-10-19
Great app!
But, I would love the addition of rivers and mountain ranges, as they also are very important in viticulture.
2015-07-07
Needs More User Functionality
Nice to have all the world's wine regions mapped in one place, but in the absence of info / text about these regions, it would great to allow users to at least input their own notes. There doesn't seem to be any way to do this currently.
2015-07-03
Garbage
So high-level, it's unusable
2015-06-20
Great wine map app
Simple and effective app with no BS

Solid reference - hope the detail continues to improve

Best wine map app available.
In studying for the sommelier exams, maps can be crucial to understanding relationships between regions and having as detailed maps as this app provides is incredibly useful and invaluable. Ability to zoom in without losing picture quality is a huge plus. Organization allows for ease of use.
Happily gave 5 stars, but keep in mind some information is outdated (Italian maps so far I've noticed, and it's not really their fault since things change quite frequently, and it's really only obscure subregions) and lack of titling for some rivers or lakes is the only thing I wish was available. Sometimes difficult to discern borders between subregions. Otherwise, for .99 I'm incredibly grateful and happy to have purchased this app and will happily recommend it to most (and already have).

Wine Maps
Fabulous educational help for the casual wine enthusiast.
A convenient, handy, pocket tool for wine professionals...
All of the worlds wine regions in simple HD format in the palm of your hand !!!
2014-10-03
Excellent, useful
The best all around wine map app in the store. I use it almost daily and it's indispensable!
2014-09-17
Love it!
I love the idea. I support it. Keep up the good work. I will pass this along my people in the wine industry.
2014-07-04
Very well done
I work in the wine field and this is a wonderful app to have in your phone as a quick reminder of where a region is.
2014-06-29
Great maps
General maps are accurate and useful
2014-06-05
Finally a map I can use
Great Start! With a few more updates this looks promising. Great value for the money!
2014-05-14
Outstanding!
Great, cheap and simple. As a wine steward I use this as a quick reference at work all the time. The updates are great. I would highly recommend this app!
2014-04-28
Love it
Made a regional sale pitch & needed maps !!! Done !!!!!!
2014-03-06
Great wine maps
Please keep them coming.
2014-03-04
Outstanding
Great way to learn regions!
2014-01-08
Poor
Poor detail, poorly defined appellations, missing appellations... Poor
2013-08-21
Great wine app
Been using this app for the past couple months. Great app! Keep the updates coming.
2013-08-07
Great App!
I use this all the time to locate areas I'm not familiar with. There's maps of most of the world with updates including more detailed maps often.
2013-07-31
Great Job
Wanted to let you know I think you are doing a great job. I appreciate the updates. I sell wine in the states and have been telling all of my fellow salespeople about the app.
Keep up the great work!
2013-07-23
Awesomeness. Must have for CMS test prep
Used this to prep for my CMS level 1&2- invaluable!! Helped so much!!! Constantly updated. Would like to see more detail in Cali regions (and more than just napa/Sonoma details) as well as map key for distance in km/mi and more details on rivers, elevations, ect..... Greece and Austria would be wonderful additions to the app as well. Really helped me study for my CMS exams. Perhaps add layover support for soil types and/or major varietals?? Seriously get this app!!! SO AWESOME and well worth buying.

Wine Maps
Great tool on my I pad when I am working at the wine shop.
2013-05-25
Good but lacking detail.
The map is for a quick glance or beginners. But it would be nice to see more A.O.C. Regions (I.e. Alsace, Jura, Savoie). But it seems like this app is going in the right direction. I'm giving it 3 stars until they update these aforementioned regions and add similar details to at least Italy.
Adding to my last review;
This app keeps getting better. The updates are every few months, but the increase in detail is great to see. The creator responded to my last review via email and updated exactly what I was looking for. Now I'm hoping to see a little more detail in burgundy (Cote-d'Or) in the village/vineyard area. Also, the addition of Washington and Oregon would be well received. Keep up the good work!
2013-03-28
Good, and getting better. Keep it up and five stars you will have
I previously gave this app three stars but I'm moving it up to four because they listened and made the corrections and improvements I suggested. Thanks guys! I'm in the wine biz and this app's on the road to be the best wine map app on itunes and an invaluable tool for my business. My next request is elevation and soil types, and then I'll give five stars
2013-02-28
Great
Is there a way I could print these maps? It would be cool to turn it in to a test. Blank maps that you have to fill out yourself. I am studying for a big test and it would be cool. I do like this app though. Great for on the spot need for a vin map. Thanks!
2012-11-20
Great detail and design...just the beginning!
After scouring the AppStore to help my consulting company, I have finally come across an app that demonstrates great detail, aesthetics, and accessibility. Upon further conversation, and in response to the shallow review above, the sub-regions (DOCs and AOCs) and Ava's will be in the near future versions. Highly recommend this wine reference app to anyone interested in wine or maps!
2012-11-08
Very basic map for beginners
Would be nice to be able to zoom in to specific areas to see vineyards and more details. Also what's "Murrumbridge Irrigation Area" in NSW? Missing Granite Belt wine region in QLD...
The app is a good idea, but it needs a lot of work.
2012-11-04
Waste of 99 cents
Not close as to what is advertised. Where do I get a refund?
