The personal, subjective taste and opinion of the end consumer is ultimate truth when it comes to wine. It is they who vote at the store, with their wallets.

Here are the top three wines tasted and rated on Quini by regular, frequent wine buyers during 2022. Ratings were done as part of Quini enterprise and winery client sensory data requirements, on the Quini wine tasting and rating platform, at guided tastings.

The list includes wines that were tasted blind and some non blind, in Dallas and New York, Houston, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and Boston and Vancouver.

For every wine included in this year’s top three, a minimum of 25-50 ratings were required, with many of the wines with 100-200 or more ratings.

We hope you find some surprises, new wines to try, and perhaps, if you are a winery, celebrate if your wine is among the top three. With consumers, it is quite the feat to hit such high marks on Quini.
