Wine rating system

Wine ratings are standardized scores given by critics or reviews to indicate quality. Most commonly, they use a 100-point scale, where higher scores (like 90-100) signify excellent wines, while lower scores (below 80) may suggest average or below-par wines. Tasting notes, balance, complexity, and overall impression influence the score. This system helps consumers gauge a wine’s quality and compare different options efficiently. However, personal preferences vary, so ratings are guides rather than absolute measures—enjoying wine ultimately depends on individual taste.
