SYSTEM FOR WINE ASSESSMENT<\/h2>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wines are scored by members up to a maximum of 100 marks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The totals for each wine are added together and divided by the number of members\u2019 entries to obtain an average result.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This average result is the benchmark against which individual member\u2019s marks are judged.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A member whose score falls within 4 marks of the average score gains one point.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To qualify for the Annual Tasting Award, members will need to attend at least 5 tastings during the year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After the November event, cumulative points are divided by the meetings attended.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The member with the highest average points is judged the Wine Taster of the Year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the event of a tie, the member who has scored the highest average points over the most tastings is judged the winner\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Awards for the Wine Taster of the Year and for the President&#8217;s Trophy ( awarded at the discretion of the President) are presented at the December Year End meeting, together with any additional awards such as the Cava Taster or the Fine Wine Taster of the Year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If an assessment sheet is incorrectly completed, and if marks fall outside the scoring range of each average, no points are awarded.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Assessment forms are written in English, with different weightings for colour, nose and palate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>COMMENT<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; There is no single correct judgement of the relative quality of a wine. Even in Wine competitions, the average score is assessed, not that of one individual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Those who have the opportunity to taste many wines, obviously form judgements about the relative merits of the various wines, and personal preference usually has an influence. Perhaps the most difficult job is that of the wine buyer. That individual\u2019s judgement of what others may<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">like for a certain price has a commercial consequence, for better or worse!
