Italian wines: Ratings & reputations

The objective of this paper is to compare two different types of wine evaluation and to measure the concordance between these two different ways of evaluating wine. In particular, reference will be made, firstly, to the Altroconsumo wine guide, where the evaluations of Italian wines are the result of various analyses and assessment made blindly by expert judges; and, secondly, to the Vivino app used by millions of consumers around the world, where the evaluation is made knowing all the characteristics of the wine tasted and also the evaluations of other consumers.
