- Why isn’t my favorite wine in your database? - Probably because you haven’t added it. This stuff just doesn’t get there by itself you know. Use our handy-dandy add-a-wine/rate-a-wine page to enter it into our database.
back to top - How does Winescorecard.com come up with these recommendations? - Our proprietary technology, PalatePrint™, uses state-of-the-art data mining techniques to relate what you have liked historically to what other people have liked. It uses those comparisons to suggest wines that you might like.
back to top - Do you accept advertising? - You bet! Our rates depend on what you want to do. We’re pretty much open to any ideas you can come up with. Note that we reserve the right to reject a particular ad if we find it objectionable. For more information, please go here. Alternatively, we’re open to wacky ideas too- so put on those thinking caps. Just contact us!
back to top - This is useless, I get my picks from a magazine! - Really? That’s great. But we want to find wines that suit us, not wines that suit some chap we’ve never met. With PalatePrint™, Winescorecard.com can recommend wines that are ideally suited to your individual palate. And what can be better than that? Oh, yeah, it’s free. That’s better.
back to top - Where is the vintage information? - Winescorecard.com operates on the theory that good wine should be consistent from year to year. Sure, some years might be better than others, but a great winemaker should make great wine year-in and year-out. Still, when you enter a wine into our add-a-wine page, we keep track of the vintage information. So it may make an appearance on the site eventually.
back to top - What do the different color stars mean? - Wines are assigned a score from 1 star - not so good - to 5 stars - absolutely fantastic. The color of the stars indicates how this rating was determined. If the stars are yellow, the rating is your personal rating for this wine. If the stars are red, the rating is PalatePrint™ score - a rating assigned by Winescorecard.com solely to match your personal taste preferences. Try the wine - we’re sure you’ll be impressed with how your opinion of the wine matches the PalatePrint™ score!
back to top - Hey, on second thought, I should have given that wine 2 stars, not 4! - Well, then go re-rate it. To change your earlier rating simply rate a wine again. You can do this using our Rate-a-Wine page, or find your previous rating on the “My Ratings” page. Either way, a quick click, and you’re back in business.
back to top - Do I really need to accept cookies for Winescorecard.com to work? - Yes, we need the cookies to keep track of what wines you have rated, your login information, etc. The site simply cannot function without them.
back to top - What are the system requirements for Winescorecard.com? - We are a light weight service. Winescorecard.com should work on any modern browser - it was tested specifically on Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer v5. Javascript and cookies must be turned on. You must have a valid email address. That’s it. Nada. Nothing else.
