(Vivino) - Our community of wine lovers has used the Vivino Rating System to rate millions of wines, giving us an immense amount of data to spot the good wines from the bad. You may be wondering how to best use the Vivino Rating System, and here is some context that may help:

• The average Vivino rated wine is 3.6 stars 
• A 4.0 Vivino rated wine is equivalent to a 90 point expert rating*
• A 4.0 Vivino rated wine is better than 85 percent of the wines on the planet
• A 4.5 Vivino rated wine is better than 99 percent of the wines on the planet 

With Vivino Ratings in hand, the next question we often hear is: how much should I be paying for a good bottle of wine? An average bottle of wine? And how about an extraordinary bottle of wine?

As the world’s largest online wine marketplace, we aggregate prices from tens of thousands of online wine merchants, and have collected millions of prices for millions of different wines. That means we know how to spot a good deal from a bad deal.
