Excellent wines from Decanter

Decanter World Wine Awards is a premium British wine magazine that is eagerly awaited monthly by wine lovers and wine connoisseurs. It is dedicated to news from the wine industry with reports, wine descriptions and editorials all about wine. Decanter wine magazine is read in more than 90 countries and has established itself as the number one wine magazine over the years. Decanter's popularity continues to grow and has gained even greater reach through its online presence of the decanter.com website.

The magazine is owned by IPC media. Michael Broadbent, who has been involved in the development of Decanter magazine since its inception in 1975, developed Decanter's rating scale, which for many years was based on a five-star system. However, this traditional system was replaced in July 2012 by a more modern composite of one 20-point and one 100-point rating system.

95-100 points All Gold Medal winners are tasted again separately and the winners wear the "Platinum Medal" and the "Best Value Platinum" medal, for a price under 15 pounds.

95-100 Points All Platinum winners will be tasted again to determine "Best in Show".

Scores are arranged as follows:

20-points-system	100-points-system	Rating	Medal
18,5 bis 20	95 bis 100	excellent	Gold
17 bis 18,25	90 bis 94	highly recommendable	Silver
15 bis 16,75	83 bis 89	recommendable	Bronze
13 bis 14,75	76 bis 82	mediocre
11 bis 12,75	70 bis 75	weak
10 bis 10,75	66 bis 69	poor
