Every suggestion links back to the facts behind it.
Filter it like a buyer, not like a sommelier.
Colour, sweetness, karas versus European technology, region and price — every row is comparable because every row was collected the same way.

A verdict is only worth the sources behind it.
Every claim on this site carries a citation. Where the record is thin, we say so instead of filling the gap with a tasting note.
Technology
Karas or European vessel, as declared by the producer — with the source of each claim next to it.
Where the fruit came from
Own vineyards, contract fruit and bought wine are three different businesses. We label each one differently.
What a medal is worth
Which competition, which year, how heavy its weight class. A medal without that context is decoration, not evidence.
What shops charge
Prices sampled from public shop listings, each with its date, so “expensive” is a number you can check rather than a feeling.
