The best wine app for Android is one that installs in one tap and never needs an update from a store. Saignée is a progressive web app: open it in Chrome on Android and you're prompted to install it to your home screen, where it runs full-screen like a native app — no Play Store listing, no OS version gate, no update lag. Scan a label and the bottle lands in your cellar with its drinking window already calculated. Android's Chrome has supported web push for years, so alerts about a bottle hitting peak land the same way a native app's notifications would. Check what's ready to drink in a glance, pull up your wishlist and shopping list at the store, and get an AI pairing for tonight's dish — all mobile-first, all in the browser you already have.
