By value, not by who pays us. Each wine is scored on its discount from the regular price, how its per-bottle price compares with similar wines, how it compares with its own 90-day average, and critic scores where we have them. We then limit each producer to two places so the list stays varied.

Yes. Six-packs and dozens are divided down to a per-bottle price (per 750ml) so everything compares fairly. Delivery is shown on each wine’s page once you add your postcode.
