Voor wat top 'zoveel' lijstjes waard zijn, morgen maakt WineSpectator zijn Top 100 van 2009 bekend. Hier alvast een preview:
Belangrijk is om alles in perspectief te plaatsen en toch even de volgende criteria te lezen waarmee de lijst is samengesteld:
"In 2009, we reviewed more than 17,000 new releases from around the world in blind tastings. More than 3,800 of these wines earned outstanding ratings (90 points or higher on our 100-point scale). We narrowed the list down based on four criteria: quality (represented by score); value (reflected by release price); availability (measured by case produced or imported); and an X-factor we call excitement. But no equation determines the final selections: These choices reflect our editors' judgment and passion about the wines we tasted.
Since 2009 was a year of economic retrenchment, we focused even more on value as we made our choices; the average price per bottle is $40, down from the past two years. "
