Award Criteria
Different award bodies judge wine lists by different criteria — and iSommelier has its own transparent score on top. Explore how the awards work, check your list against them, and try our proprietary Wine Score.
iSommelier Wine Score · our own scoring
The iSommelier Wine Score is our OWN proprietary rating — separate from any award body. We publish exactly what it measures: six equally-weighted categories (region, varietal, cellar depth, by-the-glass, price spread and sustainability), scored out of 100. It runs instantly in your browser, free, with no sign-up — nothing is sent anywhere. Transparent by design.
