Gwin Get the app

Terms of use

Last updated 14 November 2026

1. About these terms

These terms apply when you use the Gwin app or this website. By using Gwin you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use Gwin.

Gwin is operated by [Company name to be confirmed] (company number: [Registration number to be confirmed]). Registered address: [Registered address to be confirmed].

2. You must be 18 or over

Gwin is about alcohol. You may only use it if you are aged 18 or over. The app asks you to confirm this before you can do anything else.

3. What Gwin is

Gwin helps you see what is on a supermarket wine shelf. You photograph the shelf, Gwin recognises the bottles it knows, and you can filter them.

  • Gwin does not sell alcohol and is not a shop.
  • Gwin is independent. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any supermarket or producer. Retailer names are used only to say where a wine is sold.
  • Nothing in Gwin is medical or dietary advice.

4. How far you can rely on it

We work to keep our wine list accurate, but we cannot promise it is complete or current.

  • Recognition. Gwin may not recognise a bottle, and will say so. Always check the bottle in your hand is the one you want.
  • Prices. A price in Gwin is the one we last saw, with the date. Prices vary by store and may be different in Scotland and Wales, where minimum unit pricing applies. The price in the shop is the one that applies.
  • Availability. A wine in our list may not be in your shop.
  • Allergens and diet. Do not rely on Gwin for allergen information, or for whether a wine is vegan or organic. Always read the label.
  • Tasting notes and pairings are our opinion. You may disagree.

5. Your account

You can use Gwin as a guest or create an account. You are responsible for what is done with your account. You can delete it at any time from inside the app.

6. Your photographs

The photographs you take remain yours. You give us permission to store them and process them so that we can show you your scans, and to use them to improve our wine list, for example by looking at bottles we did not recognise. Our privacy policy explains how long we keep them.

Please follow the shop's own rules about taking photographs, and try not to include other people in your pictures.

7. Using Gwin fairly

You agree not to:

  • use Gwin if you are under 18;
  • copy or collect our wine list, tasting notes or other content in bulk;
  • use automated tools to access the app or its servers;
  • try to get round the limits on free use, or interfere with how Gwin works;
  • upload anything that is unlawful or that is not a photograph of a wine shelf.

8. Free use and Gwin Premium

You can scan 3 shelves a month without paying. We may change the free allowance.

Gwin Premium is a subscription bought through the App Store or Google Play. The price and the billing period are shown there before you buy. It renews until you cancel, which you do in your Apple or Google account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own terms. Nothing here affects your legal rights as a consumer.

9. Our content

The Gwin name, the app, the website, our tasting notes, our photographs and the way our wine list is put together belong to us or to those who license them to us. You may use them for your own personal shopping. You may not republish them.

10. Drinking responsibly

Please drink responsibly. For the facts about alcohol, visit drinkaware.co.uk.

11. Our responsibility to you

We provide Gwin with reasonable care and skill. We do not exclude or limit our liability where it would be unlawful to do so. That includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, and for fraud.

Gwin is for personal use. We are not responsible for losses that were not foreseeable, or for business losses. Because Gwin gives information to help you choose, and the choice and the purchase are yours, we are not responsible for a wine you buy and do not like.

12. Ending your use

You can stop using Gwin at any time and delete your account in the app. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.

13. Changes

We may update these terms. We will change the date at the top and, if the change is significant, tell you in the app.

14. Law

These terms are governed by the law of [Governing law to be confirmed]. If you live elsewhere in the United Kingdom you can also bring a claim in the courts where you live.
