How this list is made
Bottles come from Greenspoon, Chupa Chap, Wine254, The Wine Box and The Wine Shop Kenya. A bottle can make the list when it is in stock, a standard 750 ml bottle, not sweet, and matched to Vivino with confidence and rated there by at least 25 people. Bottles rated 3.8 or more by at least 100 people come first; our own picks, Tom Gilbey’s top grade and Decanter medals of 90+ points for the vintage on sale count from 3.6. Within that, they’re ordered by Vivino rating, with ratings from only a few people counted for less, then by price.
The yellow sticker is the bottle’s average rating on Vivino, across all vintages: Vivino’s number, not ours. Ratings are matched by name, so tell us if a bottle looks wrong. Shop prices are the shops’ own, shown for every shop that has the bottle in stock; a saving is shown when one shop is at least 10% cheaper and both name the same vintage (or none).
