Today we are doing something special. I know that many of you are fans of the App Vivino. I am rarely using it, but I thought it might be interesting for you if I taste and rate some of the highest-rated wines on Vivino under 20 US$. So first of all: I have nothing to do with Vivino and they are certainly not paying me to make this video. I bought all of the wines myself and I am will give my honest opinion on them. I decided to do this tasting because Vivino is today used all around the world has according to their website more than 52 million users and more than 74 million reviews. I was, therefore, able to look for wines that are widely available in the wine world and you should be able to get most of the wines in your market if you like to. Vivino is an app that allows you to rate wines based on a five-star score and you can also write a tasting note to go with the rating. I want to find out how useful these scores are and will rate the wines myself according to the 100 point scale.

Yeeeeeessss. You need to do more of these :) This was great. As a novice wine drinker and frequent vivino buyer I have discovered I have some real issues with their cheaper/mid range wines. I used to order wines almost only based on grades, but I've realized the scores tend to be too high for overly sweet, oaky, simple drinking wines. I think this is because a big bulk of the grades comes from the large, uneducated easy drinkers group. Certainly something I used to be guilty of as well, but as you learn and 'evolve', your taste changes and you get bored of drinking grape juice and start to appreciate complexity. Grading a wine is understandably hard when your frame of reference is a 5/5 for a 20-30 dollar wine. So thank you and keep them coming

I find that Vivino scores sort of work like IMDB scores for movies. It depends a lot on the category. Primitivos and Zinfandels are often scored much higher compared to nebbiolos or wines from burgundy. This is not unlike how new superhero movies on IMDB are scored much more generously than, for example short-films or art-house movies. Each category have different audiences with different expectations

This is an insightful comment! Subconsciously I take certain IMDB rating more seriously than others depending on the genre I now realise. Extrapolating the nature of ratings per genre from IMDB to Vivino is a great comparison.
@johnr797
@johnr797 2 года назад
I find this to be especially true for horror movies since it's such a subjective genre. I feel like any horror film rated over 6.5 has a decent chance of being quite good.

I enjoy Vivino, just for the tracking of my own tastings and purchases. Often, I’ll try a wine and hate it, stare at the label so I’ll remember it, then 6 months later - hey, I recognize that, let’s get that! Vivino helps me from repeating mistakes.

Addition to the Marques de Riscal: they are able to produce more than 4Mio bottles of the Reserva, vast majority is exported - amazing. The reason for the net around the bottle: it's an homage to the first bottles of the Marqués de Riscal Reserva produced in the first half of the 20th century. It was then put on the bottles with a wax seal to protect the label against cheap copies that were produced outside the rioja and exported to France (mainly). To my knowledge they were the first ones to use it, you can find these days many bottles and many producers in and outside Rioja with these nets, but in most cases it's actually an indicator not to buy the wine...

A master of wine: "3.9, 4.0, what's the difference really?" My customer, with a case of meiomi in their cart: "I'm a bit of a snob, I don't drink anything less than 4.0 on vivino."

Meoimi ??? - for me, both Meoimi and Caymus remind me of Durian fruit. That is, they provoke a gag reflex. I don't understand this, because I enjoy big, fruit forward, overly extracted wines in general - but not these two, for sure.

Vivino has a great feature where they give a percentage that basically suggests my likelihood of enjoying the wine based on my previous ratings of other wines. It's great! But I mostly use it to keep track of my wine purchases and preferences. Great video though!
@Birdylockso

Vivino represents the palate of most average drinkers, and since I drink my wine often with average drinkers, Vivino serves a purpose. That said, special wines will also get good and accurate ratings on Vivino, because the people who bother to drink it and post the comments are usually serious drinkers who appreciate that wine. So, overall, I think it works on both ends.

As a fellow Master of Wine, I don’t use Vivino (or any scores for that matter) and rely upon my own experience with vintage, region and producer. That said, I have, occasionally, looked at Vivino scores and comments to better understand their consumers and product. Keep up the great work.

Vivino has definitely helped me dive further into the wine world because of how easy it is to navigate and find wines. It's a fairly intuitive platform to use compared to many other wine platforms. Like others have said, the ratings can be hit or miss, especially when there are fewer ratings. Anything less than a few hundred ratings I've found to not be reliable, and even then sometimes you'll get duds. Reading a few ratings can help get a sense though! Thanks for the great video, would love more like this!

Hi Konstantin, love your videos. I appreciate your analysis of mid range and value wines as these are the only ones I'm likely to buy and it's great to have someone with an experienced refined pallette helping us breakdown these wines and scoring them. Many thanks. I love vivino because I can keep a record of the wines tasted. I do agree that a 100 point scale would be far more revealing, but that's probably why they stick to 5.

Great video Konstantin, enjoying your videos lately! I use Vivino a lot and I've found it a very useful tool for storing my tasting notes & tracking my cellar. In regards to the wire mesh on your Marques de Riscal, it was originally invented to prevent counterfeiting of their high-quality Rioja. It covered the bottle, thereby preventing counterfeiters from either being able to slyly remove the cork, draining out the good wine and replacing it with something else, or simply refill and re-cork a used bottle, since it was impossible to remove the netting without breaking it, and once off, the netting could not be put back on the bottle. If there was something wrong with the wire netting surrounding the bottle, chances were, that bottle was a fake. I guess they keep doing it as a nod to tradition. Cheers!

I like Vivino and use it quite often. Not so much for the score (ok, ok, a little) , but for details like grape variety, region, price and some of the descriptions. When I find myself at a store, popping a label at the Vivino app helps me figure out whether I'll drink it before dinner, with piece of meat or a vegetarian dish. It's not perfect, but it helps.

Entertaining video Konstantin! You make a good point about subjective tastes, I also tend to enjoy reds with more finesse and subtlety whereas a lot of people like bombastic and concentrated reds (and tend to rate them highly). Now do another tasting video, but with critic scores (and maybe some more high end wines)!

I use Vivino to get a feel for wines or wineries I've never heard of. I love it and hate it at the same time. You have to bear in mind that these are scores from your average Joe so you would expect that a crowd pleaser (like Primitivo) scores higher than a more complex wine (like Pinot Noir). I drank 4.2 wines that were awful and 3.6 wines that were great. For small wineries and new vintages it's almost useless cause there is little data. However, Vivino is quite good when it comes to purchasing wines since they sometimes have some awesome offers for famous wines like Lageder's Loewengang Chardonnay and so on.

I think the 100 point system does make sense but I believe it is more for people who truly delve into wine and its nuances. The Vivino scale is great for casual drinkers but it only allows you to rate based on .5 increments so 3.0, 3.5, 4.0….etc. Another very interesting and entertaining video, cheers 🍷

As a tool for searching up wines and getting an idea for regions, grapes, and keep inventory, Vivino is a pretty great tool for the job. The ratings I find can be pretty ridiculous though and are often regional/varietal specific. I.E Meiomi Pinot Noir and Robert Mondavi Bourbon Barrell Cab Sauvignon are both 4.1 stars and yet most St. Emilion and Barolo you look up can often not top 3.9 or 4.0. Are you really telling me Meiomi oak juice is better than François Mikulski Bourgogne Côte d’Or Pinot Noir (3.8 on Vivino)? I'd wager not, it's entirely dependent on the drinking audience and it shows. I still enjoy using it though for my own reviews and inventory.

@es2651
@es2651 2 года назад
I think Vivino's average rating on cheap and/or affordable wine would be really skewed toward your average wine drinkers' preference ie. big bold sweet fruity super oaky wine that is easy to drink, whereas the average rating on the more expensive wine (ie. grand cru classe bordeaux) would probably reflect toward the more serious wine drinkers preference since your average wine drinker probably wouldn't spend $100 or more for a bottle of wine, although sometimes you'll see a 1 star rating on a grand cru classe bordeaux with comments like "expensive, dry, tart, not sweet, not fruity enough, etc" from those average wine drinkers crowd 😅

Люди, должны понимать, что алкогольные напитки - это яд, какими бы красивыми именами они не назывались. Под влиянием алкоголя биоэнергия организма приобретают болезнетворные свойства (внешне это проявляется в виде сероватой окраски излучаемых потоков). ! Человека можно сравнить с трансформатором энергий. Многие болезни вызывают загрязнения неких энергетических потоков (на востоке их называют мередианами), невидимых обычным зрением (происхождение того же рака от - загрязнения чакр и мередианов). Ум всегда придумает аргументы научнообоснованные, что есть мясо, пить спиртное или курить - это полезно, хотя это яд и разрушает душу в любых дозах. Возможно разово он кого-то и выручал, но не тогда, когда это становится нормой. Наше российское общество побеждают без войны. По данным, алкогольно-зависимой является уже примерно половина населения страны. От алкоголиков рождаются умственно и физически дефектные дети - у них уже нарушены хромосомы. И от них (и их детей) уже не может получиться полноценное потомство. 17% детей в стране уже рождалось врождённо слабоумными. И оставалось добрать ещё только один процент - чтобы процесс генетического вырождения нации стал необратимым. Такая нация уже никогда не сможет воспроизводить полноценное потомство, она превратится в страну слабоумных уродов - и затем вымрет. И это - ещё не всё. 80% учащейся молодежи уже пробовали наркотики помимо алкоголя и никотина, а 20% - уже прочно “сидят на игле” “крутых” наркотиков. И число наркоманов растёт из года в год. Срок жизни таких - всего около 4-х лет... Придёт время - и некому будет служить в армии, пополнять ряды учёных, врачей, инженеров. Россия превратится в страну умственно отсталых калек и пенсионеров, не получающих пенсий… Сейчас мы должны доказать Богу, что ещё на что-то способны в Эволюционной перспективе. Он ведь намеревался получать от наций хороший “урожай” Совершенных Душ. Нация должна быть в этом отношении перспективной! Большинству людей свойственно перенимать поведение и пороки, наблюдая за другими. Тогда сразу становится понятно, что случаи слабоумия - это вовсе не болезнь, а просто эффект подражания. Наша человеческая задача состоит в том, чтобы стать лучше, это достигается преодолением себя через усилия. Бог отслеживает, что выбирает человект - совершенствование или деградацию. Рассматривайте это как наше тестирование нашим Высшим Учителем (Творцом). Нужен выход из дурных компаний. Медитация. Визуализируем солнышко у себя в груди, с лучами-ручками.

Dear Konstantin, I am following your videos since a couple of years and I learned a lot from them. Now it is my time to pay you back. The gold plated wire around the Marques de Riscal Reserva was introduced years ago by the owners to prevent copying of their wines, simple as that. Concerning Vivino, I am a member there but I also double check their rates with other sources and experts like you. Good example in this case is the Marques de Riscal Reserva 2017 of wich I bought a case after seeing your video.

I've been using Vivino scoring system quite successfully, about 80-90% of wines I got using it were actually enjoyable, much higher success rate than just picking blindly or by label prettiness. That said I was surprised how different it can be to a MW rating. I was watching a video with Peter Koff, and looked up a "bourbon barrel aged" wine he hated and basically called shit, and it had 4.2 rating. Then on another video he was very impressed by some $20 Pinot Noir, saying it's an amazing value wine, and that wine had 3.6 on Vivino. So yeah, crowdsourcing ratings has its flaws.

Then again just because a wine professional dislikes a wine it does not mean public agrees with the assessment. E.g. compare movie critics vs google rating. The latter is more reliable. While I think wines are not entirely comparable with movies the same applies here to some extent.

Love your videos, vivino is very flawed due to a massive ammount of incorrect information about wines like grape types and percentages, origins and production methods. I have been checking all the wines that I have tasted and sending them messages about incorrect information that they happily changed, however vivino's greatest strength is also is its greatest weakness. The fact that anyone can write or edit wine information without actually being educated about it. Thank you for your reviews on wines they make me smile. On that note I am off to prepare a wine tasting of my own in the Grand Ambassador Seoul in association with Pullman. Cheers and have a lovely day.

Some of the breakdown of the stats are also interesting such as the type of wines you drink regularly, grape varieties etc. The points scale is pretty useless as you always have someone rating against their preference, "This Sauternes is too sweet, I don't like it" etc. But when you follow people you respect their ratings it can be useful. If I see a particular person I know and respect their judgement has rated a wine well I am much more likely to purchase.

If you folks are ever in California, head further inland and give the Gold Rush country a shot. There's a lot of wineries there going in a different direction from Napa/Sonoma over by the coast. Lots of temperanillo, barbera, viogner. A lot more laid back and affordable than the Napa region as well.

I did some research myself and the results are more interesting than expected. The Vivino score is subjective score and that's how it needs to be interpreted - it's ultimately skewd towards the taste of fans of particular wine. Great video!

I pretty much like the VIVINO app. Many, if not majority of it’s users are regular people who simply rated the wines based on their taste. That could very well be the honest scores/ratings made by hundreds, if not thousands of people, who actually tasted the wines. The app also gives us added information of the kind of grape, the vineyard/bodegas where the wine came from, etc. But of course, comments by sommeliers, are always very welcome, if only for us to have a better understanding why we enjoy (or didn’t enjoy) the wine that we drink. Big thanks to you, Konstantin!

First time viewer of your channel. I like the length of this video and the subject. I sometimes use vivino for buying wines. Ratings wise, I use a threshold like only >=4.0 and then if the story of the wine (the pitch) is interesting I drill down on individual reviews to get a feeling if this is one for me. For instance medicinal notes, or menthol, eucalyptus oxidised, metal-y, rubber, petrol like notes is not everyone's cup of tea, but for me it is something that I enjoy a lot (hello Vin Jaune, Chateau Musar white, or 20+ years old Riesling Auslese). So if it is a 4.0+ wine, where the negative reviews are that they didn't like it because of "weird" notes and if the price is nice, then I buy it even without knowing the region, or rarely grape varieties. In short, vivino is only 1 of the tools that I use in wine discovery.

Thank you for another interesting tasting. I restarted tasting wines after a long period and I'm now using Vivino. I think the Vivino score gives you an indication but you cannot trust fully on that score. The more scores a wine has, the more the score is balanced and trustworthy. But always be carefull with the reviews because I see a lot of comments that are assigned to the wrong wine (e.g. a comment on a rosé in the comments list of a red wine of the same winery). I use Vivino to keep track of the wines that I tasted with my personal scores and notes.

Another excellent video! I had never even heard of Vivino until now. I have downloaded the app and will give it a try. Mr. Baum, I would be very grateful if you could devote a future episode to “tannins”. When I first became interested in wine decades ago I learned that tannin is a component of wine that comes from seeds and stems. Nowadays wine writers always refer to “tannins” (plural), and their often florid descriptions of a wine’s tannins make me think that they can’t be talking about the same thing.

I use Vivino a lot for taking notes of the wines i've tasted, but i don't really trust its 1-5 star rating because it feels quite limited and price-biased a lot of times. For example I just tried the other day a fumeé sauvignon blanc from France with a 3.7 rating that was so much better than most of the 3.9-4.0 white whites i've tasted. The 100 point score is way more precise. Great video, greetings from Argentina!

I really enjoy Vivino not only for the notes I can take on wines I've tried, but the system that takes those personalized ratings and then determines if I will like a wine I've never tried. Usually spot on. Also when faced with a wine menu and no familiar wines, it helps to sort out what would be enjoyable at a restaurant. Trick is not to rate everything high. 3.0 is decent, but I wouldn't buy. 3.5 is I would buy again and then goes up from there.

Vivino app- I’d give it 3⭐️… meh… It’s most valuable attribute for me is the “My Wines” where I can keep notes. 🍷🍷WHO WANTS TO COLAB ON A GREAT WINE TRACKING APP?!?!🍷🍷 Sorry for that, Konstantin. I just really want a great app for tracking my own wines and tasting notes. Also, I believe the wire cage on Riojas is a carryover from many years ago when unscrupulous tavern owners would buy quality Rioja wine and then refill the bottle with inferior wine and resell it as what was on the label. The producers added the cages to protect their reputations. Also a huge fan myself of Rioja in general. I think it offers tremendous value. I just loved the moment you opened the Marques de Riscal and smiled. Your remark about seeing an old friend really warmed my heart and endeared me even further to the channel. 🥂 Cheers!!

My first video of yours I've watched, but I'll be back for more. Thanks! Just for your knowledge the original reason wire nets were added to some Riojas is that Spain used to have major problem with bottle tampering (back at the turn of the last century I think (but don't quote me on that one)) so Riscal started added nets so no one could produce counterfeit labels for non Riscal wine or tamper with Riscal's bottles. Therefore the public, in theory, would know that if their wine had the wire net it was a genuine bottle. Nowadays I think it has just become a bit of a "mark" of Rioja - but there are no rules or regulations as to which wines are allowed to have nets and which are not.

The stars has to be taken with a grain of salt, as it is targeting a very broad user base, perhaps favoring sweeter and more extracted wines.

Vivino is a very strange place. As is the wine world. I like that it translates that craziness. And that you don't need any login to get the info. Case in point: the crazy price some wines go by. Example 1 Chateau Pétrus vs Chateau La Fleur-Pétrus vs Chateau LaFleur-Gazin This wineries sit less than 200m from each other and the vines themselves are a criss-cross pattern around a 20ha square yet the final products cost respectively (for the last vintage the 3 are available in Vivino, 2013) 3k, 384 and 80 euros. I've been moving the content of each of this bottles from one to the other and making blind tastings a couple of times per year with some friends that are highly respected somms in NYC and they keep rating the LaFleur-Gazin as the best of the three!!! And they get so happy when they realized they've chosen the Petrus bottle. For them its just "ooooooh, I knew it! This is unmistakable." Every year I promise myself I'm going to tell them about this charade but I just can't bring myself to tell them: its like telling a child there's no Santa. But this is going for 8 years now. Example 2 Porto Vintage Quinta do Noval Nacional vs Porto Vintage Quinta do Noval Silval vs Porto Vintage Quinta do Silval (Magalhães) Again. The first goes for over 1k, the second 100 and the third can be had at 50 euros, the first two are from the same winery, the third from one just 500m away from Quinta do Noval In facy: vines from Quinta do Noval go around Quinta do Silval. In Vivino Quinta do Noval Silval and Magalhães have around the same ratings than the more expensive Noval Nacional. And again, I've been mixing this 3 brands vintages for 8 years at the same gathering in NYC and every single time the Magalhães Port wins (inside a bottle of Noval Nacional, ofcourse). That's how deranged the wine market it: people will give so much value to something just because it sits on someone famous/rich and by trying to emulate that suddenly there's no connection between the intrinsic value and the market value.

@spirestocksnotification6710
You are a genius, yes wine is highly suggestive, so always recommend blind tastings when possible, but soon you are going to have to reveal or better yet, get non-somms to participate in same approach/method that don't know what to expect from a particular bottle/name. Since 1976, Stags Leap has never had to worry about selling wine. Reputation and notoriety and marketing, unfortunately go along way especially in the subjective wine industry. Doesn't have to be that way, but soooo sooo many somms say that is the way we always did it. Somm 3 documentary gave all the necessary insight into why the whole linear integer rating systems is flawed; a subjective score on top of head using integer will result in a tie every time as did here with the 90s scores

Great video. I use vivino and i like it. The scores on vivino is only a guide line, sweet vines ofte get high scores, so you have to look out for this. But there are many vines around the score from 3.5 to 4.0, But if you compare to many wine tasters, wich uses the 100 scale, you often see the score around 90 points. So even if you use the 100 scale, you only use the numbers from 80 to 99.
@spirestocksnotification6710
I would contend you won't find many, if any, 95-100 wines in a grocery store and how many bottles have you seen that had points on the label under 88pts? For mass produced wines, the points on the label are usually 88-91. One does see a 92, 93 or 94 every now and then, but usually they are rated too high. I have a correlation of score to price point that I use and also answers the question what would I pay for a wine. As the quality increases, the scale becomes non-linear, which is why one can not use a linear integer scoring system. A 90 score should mean the wine is worth $25.00; 89 would be $19 and the scale precision goes to the hundredths place, above 90 is when the scale changes from linear to non-linear.

On another video I have commented that the Chocolate Block was the only wine that you have tasted on this channel that I also had, by sheer coincidence I had the Marques Riscal Rioja today. I also thought it was a great wine, as a wine beginner I would have scored it 90 points, it has great fruit and while the oak can sometimes be very strong on a Rioja I think this one is beautifully balanced. A real bargain at 15 gbp, I had wines for twice that price that were not as good.

Good job testing vivino, now we can choose from your validation. I used vivino to see what people opinion is before I buy, majority of the time is overrated to my test. Also in my case I make my own wine, so had chance to try a lot of wine produced by other enthusiasts, so the wine i was buying before is not quite taste as good as before.
