This paper considers the impact of three factors on the score that a wine is given by wine experts. The study is limited to wines produced in the United States. The “points” awarded to a specific wine, in terms of variety and year and other factors, is a subjective evaluation of the quality of the wine. The three factors this paper focuses on are the Province (location) of the vineyard, the Variety of the wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Pinot Noir), and the approximate retail Price of a bottle of the wine. Year is held constant. Our findings indicate that Price is a dominant factor that affects “points,” but the other two factors cannot be said to have an impact on “points.”
