American Association of Wine Economists (AAWE)

«Dear wine friends,
the latest issue of the Journal of Wine Economics (Vol. 3, No. 2) will be released tomorrow (see also www.wine-economics.org/journal).
The lead article is by Robert T. Hodgson, who analyzes the reliability of wine judges at a major California Wine Fair. “Each panel of four expert judges received a flight of 30 wines imbedded with triplicate samples poured from the same bottle. Between 65 and 70 judges were tested each year. About 10 percent of the judges were able to replicate their score within a single medal group…. ” That is, 90% of the judges were not able to replicate their wine assessment within one medal group. In fact, 80% of the judges scored the same wine ranging from Gold to no medal. The full article can be accessed free of charge at (Full Text (PDF).
