- Conclusion
The 100-point scale actually starts at 50 points (and some raters never include wines below 80): 1. 50-59wines are flawed and undrinkable 2. 60-69wines are flawed and not recommended but drinkable 3. 70-79wines are flawed and taste average 4. 80-84wines are ‘above average’ to ‘good’ 5. 85-90wines are ‘good’ to ‘very good’ 6. 90-94wines are ‘superio...

Solution: Size up the source
If you’re going to buy based on ratings, you should look into the source. Some critics are known for typically giving lower ratings to wines than other critics do. It’s good to know this, because you might really like an 87-88 point wine that you wouldn’t have normally considered.

Wine ratings can be very useful when paired with your ability to be curious and seek more knowledge.
