TOP 100 LISTS
About the List
We’ve revealed the Top 100 of 2020! Each year, Wine Spectator editors survey the wines reviewed over the previous 12 months and select our Top 100, based on quality, value, availability and excitement. This annual list honors successful wineries, regions and vintages around the world.
Here you’ll find every Top 100 list from 2020 back to the debut year, 1988. Since then, new regions, grapes and styles have appeared on the list, but the classics are still going strong. Enjoy browsing more than 30 years of the world’s top wines!
For detailed profiles of the 2020 picks, check out the complete Top 100 Wines of 2020 package in the upcoming Dec. 31, 2020, issue of Wine Spectator, on newsstands Dec. 29. Or sign up for a digital edition subscription, or buy a back issue when they become available.
(Note: In 1998, some wines share the same rank, as the list was divided into top reds, whites and dessert wines.)
