Cristaldi Score
The 100-point rating system has a rich history in the world of wine, originating in the 1970s when influential critic Robert Parker adopted it to make wine scoring more accessible and intuitive. The scale quickly gained popularity, allowing consumers to compare wines based on a consistent, easily understood metric.
At Cristaldi & Co., we have pushed the boundary of that system to include ratings for spirits, food, and beyond. We’re excited to leverage this trusted standard on our platform, where we’ll evaluate wine, spirits, food, and wellness products with the same rigor and transparency, helping you discover the best across every category.
If you're a producer or member of the trade, and you want permission to use our scores, reach out to us at [email protected].
