WineBlueBook FAQ (Last updated October 2007)
- How can I easily find and buy ‘Outstanding, Great and Value’ wines?
To give you the fast track to locating ‘Outstanding, Great and Value’ wines, WineBlueBook recommends using http://www.WineSearcher.com, an impartial online resource for wine availability and pricing from over 8,500 retailers.
- Do you publish a summary issue?
WineBlueBook publishes and annual Year end summary of all wines profiled in the early first quarter of every year.
- Why do the average prices listed on WineBlueBook seem lower than what I pay at my neighborhood wine retailer?
Because of state taxes, discounts, margins, competition and geographical location prices may be higher at your local wine shop. Other factors such as currency fluctuations and the high cost of living in major U.S. cities all play a part in fluctuating retail prices. WineBlueBook surveyed its subscribers and 70% of subscribers answered that the prices WineBlueBook listed were "accurate". If WineBlueBook raised wine prices 5% or 10% across the board, the same wines will receive the same WineBlueBook index and "Outstanding", "Great Value" or "Value" moniker. It would make retailers happy if we raised our average prices, but WineBlueBook is for the wine consumer first.

If you wines are reviewed by two or more of the major wine critics your wine will be included in WineBlueBook.
