General Information
Judging – July 24, 2022 / Winners Announcement – August 18, 2022
Judging Criteria
– Quality. All wines will be initially tasted blind to assess their quality and how drinkable they are for consumers in their target area.
– Value for money. Wines will then be assessed to see how much value for money they are offering their target wine drinkers at that price point.
– Packaging and design. As the majority of wine is bought with our eyes, the USA Wine Ratings will recognize wines that stand out on the shelf, or on a back bar, and will assess how well suited that design or packaging is to their target consumer group and at that price point.
Q (Quality Score) + Value Score (V) + Package Score (P) = USA Wine Ratings Score
