TOP 100 LIST
ABOUT THE LIST
Each year, Wine Spectator editors survey the wines reviewed over the previous 12 months and
select our Top 100, based on quality, value, availability and excitement. This annual list honors
successful wineries, regions and vintages around the world.
On Nov. 17, we’ll reveal the full list of the Top 100 Wines of 2014. In the meantime, here you’ll
nd every Top 100 list from 2013 back to the debut year, 1988. Since then, new regions, grapes
and styles have appeared on the list, but the classics are still going strong. Enjoy browsing a
quarter-century of the world’s top wines!
For detailed pro les on the Top 100 Wines of 2014, and the 100 Best Values of 2014, check out
the complete Top 100 Wines package in the Dec. 31, 2014, issue of Wine Spectator, available on
newsstands starting Dec. 2.
(* In 1998, some wines share the same rank, as the list was divided into top reds, whites and
dessert wines.)
