  3. Price history. Wines sitting below their own 90-day average move up.
  4. Variety. No more than two wines from one producer.

How do you rank these wines?

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.

Are these prices per bottle?

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.
