Professional Wine Ratings

Professional wine ratings are scored by the groups listed below. These ratings are based on a 100-point scale and are entered into the WineLog database by users like you.

The problem with professional wine rating systems is that the score of the wine depends on the person doing the rating. So, while you may use these professional ratings as some indication of the wine's quality, we urge you to place more weight on the WineLog five-star rating, if available, as it is an average measure of the general public's impression of that wine.



Wine Spectator

95-100, Classic; 90-94, Outstanding; 85-89, Very Good; 80-84, Good



Wine Enthusiast

98-100, Classic; 94-97, Superb; 90-93, Excellent; 87-89, Very Good; 83-86, Good; 80-82, Acceptable



The Wine Advocate

96-100, Extraordinary; 90-95, Outstanding; 80-89, Barely above average to very good



Wine & Spirits

We do not make any claims to the accuracy of these ratings and are in no way affiliated or associated with the interest groups and publishers listed above, including Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, The Wine Advocate and Wine & Spirits.
