Winos In Veritas
- Red wine exclusively.
- Applies to Alko in Finland. Exceptions exist.
- Updated every quarter. Subject to source’s liver.
- Wipe that frown off your face. Wine is supposed to be fun.
Only real-world people need apply; remember that 95% of all wines bought in Alko cost less than €10/bottle. This is a fact. I just read it in the morning paper. With this in mind, a word or two about the scoring system.
Since my anonymous & untouchable source is not a friend of adjectives, but a highly scientific professor of arithmetics - or something - it is based on no-frills basic Finnish school grades. That is also yet another real world measure designed to produce peace of mind. Simplicity is bliss. No bogus, no kudos. Just truth. Just transparency at its very “gee, I can’t even see it.”
Id est; too cool for old-school? 10-4, as in 10 for OHMIGOD, Have I Just Died And Gone To Heaven, and 4 for FAIL, Run For Your Life.
