The purpose of a wine rating is to
quantify a wine’s quality separate from those
factors that influence price. Rating systems vary.
Some rating systems are based on a 50 to 100-point
scale, others on a 5-point scale, etc. Keep in mind
when looking at ratings, that the evaluation of wine
is subjective. Factors like bottle variability, tasting
conditions, and the judges’ likes and dislikes
will influence a rating. While we hope you enjoy our
recommendations, You are the best judge of wine when
it comes to what you enjoy drinking. |
