The 6th edition of the USA Wine Ratings is pleased to announce the 2023 winners. Wines from 10 different countries were submitted, with Italy, Australia, and Portugal at the highest number of entries, apart from the United States. 

There were a total of 98 varietals, with the top 3 being Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Shiraz.

The USA Wine Ratings looks to recognize, reward, and help promote wines that have successfully been created to identify with and target a specific wine drinker. For any wine brand to earn its place on a retailer’s shelf or a restaurant’s wine list -  and then vitally stay there - they need to be marketable and consumer-driven. USA Wine Ratings will single out and shine the spotlight on those wine brands that consumers really want to buy and have a clear market value for trade buyers. The 3 main criteria that USA Wine Ratings evaluated the wines on were Quality, Value, and Package.
