[QUOTE="michaelm, post: 2206396, member: 65038"] With the comments around Vivino - I'd contend that perhaps there is a different way of thinking about it. Obviously not somewhere to go looking for expert reviews, so not really that worthwhile reading or critiquing individual reviews there. It functions as an aggregate review site, so you go there to look for some sort of consensus, acknowledging that there will be reviews from sharp minds and dunces alike. Its like IMDB for film - you will find some absolute nonces saying some ridiculous things about film there in individual reviews, but on average, a great film will get a decent score over time, and a horrible one will get a bad score. Or tripadvisor - some totally useless reviews, but generally a great hotel will have decent score... etc etc. Vivino is the same for me - its useful for sensechecking a wine to see if its a disaster, or if its maybe something at least decent. It's not about looking for expert opinion or nuance, thats just not what user driven aggregate review platforms offer. [/QUOTE]
