Uncorked Wave, on your phone
The website is the app: the day's news, 27 topic pages, the bottles, the pairings, the calendar and the full archive, on any phone or desktop, with nothing to download and nothing to pay. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app from then on.
No app store, no account and no update to wait for. Alerts come through your browser, the newsletter comes on Fridays.

Good to know
Is there a Uncorked Wave app?
The website is the app. Uncorked Wave is built for the web, so there is nothing to download and nothing to update: open uncorkedwave.com on any phone and every story, topic page and recipe is there. Add it to your home screen and it opens full screen like an app from then on.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Every story is free, and there is no subscription or paywall waiting a few articles in. Advertisers support the publication.
Do I need an account?
No. Reading, searching, the topic pages and the events calendar all work without one. Signing in is optional, by a six-digit code sent to your email or phone, no password to invent, and it keeps your saved stories with you between devices.
Can I get alerts?
Yes, in your browser. Tap Follow on any topic or allow notifications when the site asks, and you get a handful of stories worth interrupting your day for, chosen by an editor, rather than a stream of pings. Turn them off any time in your browser settings. Reading never depends on it.
How do I put it on my home screen?
On an iPhone, open uncorkedwave.com in Safari, tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, open it in Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, then Add to Home screen or Install. The Uncorked Wave icon lands on your home screen and opens without the browser bars.
Does it work without a signal?
Stories you have already opened stay readable, and the installed site opens on its own even before the connection comes back. Fresh news naturally needs a signal.
Is Uncorked Wave in the Wave Locals app?
Yes. Uncorked Wave is listed in Wave Locals with the other Wave publications, and opens there as this website. There is no separate Uncorked Wave app to download.
