How to cancel Wine-Searcher and get your money back
Wine-Searcher is a Food & Drink app by Wine-Searcher Limited. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.
Based on 50 of the most recent public App Store reviews, sampled September 2026.
Step 1 — Stop the next charge
- On iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions.
- Select Wine-Searcher → Cancel Subscription.
- Check that it now says Expires and not Renews. If it still says Renews, it is not canceled.
Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. This is the single most common reason people keep getting charged.
Step 2 — Ask Apple for the charge back

It’s rare that an update actually makes an app LESS useful. It’s even stranger when the developer goes out of their way to remove a feature instead of just leaving well enough alone. The latest update reduces the ability to set a search radius - used to be you could choose 5, 10, 20, whatever miles - and instead only allows two options, in state only or “near me” which sets a hard radius of 50 miles. 50 miles is usel…
I was hopeful, but ultimately astonished that they do not control any of the people that participate. I reached out to Wine-Searcher directly and asked for help when they failed to ship me a case of wine that I ordered. They said I need to take it up with the shop I ordered it from.

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled Wine-Searcher?
Yes. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge that already went through. You request that separately at reportaproblem.apple.com, and "I was charged after I canceled the subscription" is the reason to select.
How long do I have to ask for a refund?
Apple generally expects refund requests within 90 days of the charge. Ask as soon as you notice it — requests on recent charges are approved more often.
Apple declined my request. Is that the end?
No. A first decline is common and is often automated. You can submit the request again with more specific facts and ask for review by a senior advisor. If it is declined again, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer.
Will I lose access to Wine-Searcher if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
