Estamos na "alta temporada" dos concursos mundiais de vinhos, como os famosos Concours Mondial de Bruxelles e International Wine Challenge (IWC), que divulgaram seus resultados nos últimos dias. Baseando-se justamente nestes e em outros importantes concursos mundiais de vinhos realizados durante o ano, num total de 74 eventos, a WAWWJ (World Association, Wine and Spirits, Writers and Journalists) elabora um ranking anual com os vinhos de melhor desempenho nos concursos do ano anterior.
Para estabelecer um critério justo, as pontuações dos vinhos variam de acordo com a importância relativa do concurso e a posição de cada vinhos dentro deles. Deste modo, o concurso Vinalies, na França tem peso 9, enquanto os de menor expressão tem apenas metade disso (4,5). Baseado neste e em outro critérios descritos no site da WAWWJ, os vinhos a seguir foram os 100 melhores no ano de 2012.
Para conhecer as listas discriminadas por país e produtores, acesse o link dos rankings da WAWWJ.
