The Wine Writer provides written reviews on wines submitted by the maker or importer or tasted at wine industry events.
These are not paid reviews.
All wines are tasted by Angie Atkinson DipWSET unless otherwise stated. All wines submitted are tasted in the Jancis Robinson ‘One Glass for Every Wine’ glass and are scored using a star rating system.
A 5 Star wine at $20.00 and a 5 Star wine at $70.00 are clearly not the same. Therefore, all scores given are based on the merits of the wine, its typicity, price point and quality will be taken into consideration.
Wines will be divided into two classes for rating, below $25.00 retail, and above $25.00 retail. Wines are not compared or tasted in a line up, every wine is tasted individually.
If a wine receives a score lower than 3 Stars, a review will not be provided. Stickers are available to purchase for scores of 4 Stars and above.
