Determined by our panel of judges, this describes the overall pricing of the wine list, taking into account both the general markup of wines offered and the number of wines at high and low price points.

Inexpensive lists offer many bottles for less than $50, while also employing a below-normal markup (generally considered to be 2 to 2.5 times the wholesale bottle price).

Moderate lists use the industry norm for markup, with a range of both less expensive and expensive offerings.

Expensive lists offer wines at a greater-than-normal markup, along with many selections for more than $100 a bottle.

Wine pricing is not a judging criterion, it is provided merely as a guide for the reader.
