Today, the Raisin app turns 10.
Ten years of natural wine, ten years of community, and above all, ten years of support from all of you.
It’s impossible to say this enough: thank you. To every person who downloaded the app, left a review, shared a bottle, added a place, recommended a wine, or simply believed in what we’re doing, you’ve shaped Raisin into what it is today.
From the very beginning, Raisin has been carried by a collective energy. The winemakers are farming differently, the bars, restaurants, and shops championing these wines, and the curious drinkers seeking something more alive, more honest. This project has never been ours alone; it belongs to all of you.
Looking back, there are some beautiful milestones. The launch on the App Store in 2016, the Android version shortly after, the early support that helped us raise our first funds, and the evolution into Raisin Pro in 2020. The launch of our website, and more recently, opening the platform further to winemakers in 2024, felt like another important step forward, bringing the people behind the wines even closer to the community.
And today, we’re humbled by what it’s become:
- 1️⃣ million users over the last 12 months
- 🥳 +500,000 downloads
- 🏬 8,268 recommended venues
- 🍷 54,949 natural wines indexed
- 👨🏼🌾 👩🏻🌾 3,316 natural winemakers
- 📸 266,004 wines posted by users
- 🏪 75,500 wines added by venue owners
But honestly, the numbers will never be the most important.
What matters is every glass poured, every discovery made, every connection created through this shared love of natural wine.
So whether you’ve been here since day one or just joined yesterday, thank you for being part of this story. Thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and growing with us.
We’re incredibly grateful. And we still feel like we’re just getting started.
The Raisin Team 🍷 ❤️
