What reviewers say
“At under $6 a bottle at the co-op, you can ask for nothing more from this Portuguese Vinho Verde. Crisp, tart, citrus and grapefruit with a hint of stone fruit and some bubbles at 9.5% alcohol. Made to order for viewing the mountains across the valley at twilight on a warm summer day. As an aperitif with an incredible local sheep cheese in olive oil with herbs from Vermont Shepherd, life is very good at this moment.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

- In-cohort percentile

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 428.
