How do Corkscore's Top Drops get picked?
Just in case you are wondering: "Hey, I rated a bottle of Chateau Mifavourite 2005 at 98pts, why haven't they made that a Corkscore Top Drop"?
It's not quite that easy.
Our mission is to uncover unique artisan wines available at great value for money. To find the Top Drops we sieve through the Corkscore user reviews and create a first shortlist of highly rated wines. Then the Corkscore Wine Panel vets the list to filter out the most unique wines and eliminate any duds.
Finally, we discuss the shortlist with our merchant partners to find out which of the wines are actually available for sale. After all, it's pointless to recommend a wine, when only seven cases were ever made. We then negotiate with the merchant partner to give Corkscore members a good deal.
Our current merchant partner, the Ultimo Wine Centre, have a fabulous selection of fine wines available and can rustle up almost anything you guys have reviewed!
