How is the value number determined?
The value is determined by taking the average retail price of a wine with a given score and dividing it by the average retail price for all wines with that score. If the average value = 100%, then anything below that represents a better value. Anything above, not so good. |
How do you use WineBlueBook?
Each issue lists the wines scored by the wine critics the previous month. The average wine score, street price and value score are provided for each wine.
A note about wine scores
Do scores matter? Yes. But no more than personal taste. So why care about scores? Because scores drive prices. And in the absence of personal experience, you must weigh quality (scores) against price to make purchase decisions. WineBlueBook give you an objective tool for doing just that. |
