Recent, celebra publicatie Wine Spectator a dat publicitatii topul lor anual ce cuprinde cele mai remarcabile vinuri degustate de specialistii redactiei in decursul anului in curs.
Daca e sa ma intrebati pe mine, topul e unul destul de americanit, dar ce e interesant e faptul ca, asa cum veti vedea mai jos (pentru ca pe langa numele vinurilor lista contine atat punctajul obtinut in urma evaluarii, dar si pretul), nu de putine ori veti gasi vinuri la preturi mai decente surclasand pe altele mult mai pretentioase si mai putin prietenoase cu buzunarul iubitorilor de vinuri. Nimic nou imi veti zice, pentru ca observam acest lucru in fiecare zi pe rafturile magazinelor, nu?
Se mai poate remarca deasemenea numarul relativ mic de vinuri din lumea veche, ceea ce confirma inca o data faptul ca acestea pierd constant teren in fata celor din lumea noua (cel putin in topul preferintelor specialistilor de peste ocean).
