Who is Wine Enthusiast?

Buying Guide tastings are blind (5-8 samples/flight). Reviewers know vintage/variety/appellation (context), but not producer/price. Flawed wines are retasted.

How do their ratings work?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
