F.A.Q.
- Why isn't my favorite wine in your database?
- How does Winescorecard.com come up with these recommendations?
- Do you accept advertising?
- This is useless, I get my picks from a magazine!
- Where is the vintage information? (what happened to the years?)
- What do the different color corks mean?
- Hey, on second thought, I should have given that wine 2 corks, not 4!
- Do I really need to accept cookies for Winescorecard.com to work?
- What are the system requirements for Winescorecard.com?
- 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.

- 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.

- 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. See our
rate sheet here. Alternatively, we're open to wacky ideas too- so put
on those thinking caps. Just contact us!

- 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.

- Where is the vintage information? (what happened to the years?)
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.

- What do the different color corks mean?
Wines are assigned a score from 1 cork - not so good - to 5 corks -
absolutely fantastic. The color of the corks indicates how this
rating was determined. If the corks are green, the rating is your
personal rating for this wine. If the corks are white, 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!

- Hey, on second thought, I should have given that wine 2 corks, 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.

- 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.

- 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.
