Rate THIS: Turning the tables on Wine Spectator and other wine magazines
When he writes about wine magazines and their buying guides, W.R. Tish brings a rather unique perspective: He is the former editor of Wine Enthusiast magazine. In other words, he’s been there, and he knows the inner workings.
So when Tish turns the tables and comes up with his own ratings of wine magazines (using the 100-point scale, naturally) in Wines and Vines, well … it’s just too much fun to ignore.
Tish weighs in on Wine Spectator (88), Wine Enthusiast (79) and Wine & Spirits (91). He includes circulatioin figures, advertising costs, and other juicy tidbits.
This piece by Tish follows up on a story he wrote in July for Wines & Vines that delved into the nuts and bolts of the ratings guides of those three publications.
A fun read indeed.
Do you agree with Tish’s ratings?
Cheers!
