VinePair writes regarding the way they came up with their list, “To come up with this ranking, members of the VinePair team.. compiled a short list of their favorite wines tasted in 2018. After some energetic discussions, wines were brought in and tasted as a panel before we whittled down the list to our top 50, guided by the following criteria; All bottles had to be readily available in the U.S. The top 50 list focuses on wines that are drinkable, interesting, and, above all, offer great value for money… Finally, we tasted the ones we considered among the top 10 multiple times.”
