How Cellar Tracker Rates
CellarTracker uses a 100-point scoring system to evaluate wines, a widely adopted method in the wine industry. The system allows users to rate wines based on their personal experiences, considering factors like complexity, balance, and overall enjoyment. Tasting notes are also provided, offering additional context and insight into the wines being reviewed.
