Whois & Analysis for winemag.com

A wine rating is a score assigned by one or more to a wine tasted as a summary of that critic's evaluation of that wine.

A wine rating is therefore a subjective quality score, typically of a numerical nature, given to a specific bottle of wine.

In most cases, wine ratings are set by a single wine critic, but in some cases a rating is derived by input from several critics tasting the same wine at the same time.

A number of different scales for wine ratings are in use.

Also, the practices used to arrive at the rating can vary.

Over the last couple of decades, the 50–100 scale introduced by Robert M.

Parker, Jr. has become commonly used.

This or numerically similar scales are used by publications such as Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate.

Other publications or critics, such as Jancis Robinson and Michael Broadbent, may use a 0–20 scale, or a 0–5 scale (often in terms of numbers of stars) either with or without half-star steps.

Wine Enthusiast Companies is a multichannel marketer of a growing line of wine- and spirits-related products.

The company addresses the wholesale, retail and consumer-direct markets and is headquartered one hour outside Manhattan in Mount Kisco, New York.

A recipe is a set of instructions that describes how to prepare or make something, especially a culinary dish.

It is also used in medicine or in information technology (user acceptance).

A doctor will usually begin a prescription with recipe, Latin for take, usually abbreviated to Rx or an equivalent symbol.

Information is that which informs.

In other words, it is the answer to a question of some kind.

It is thus related to data and knowledge, as data represents values attributed to parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts.

As it regards data, the information's existence is not necessarily coupled to an observer (it exists beyond an event horizon, for example), while in the case of knowledge, the information requires a cognitive observer.
