How do wines win awards?

Medal rankings are different from the 100 point scales that are used by many journalistic publications, such as Wine Spectator.In most competitions, medals are given to individual wines in various categories on the basis of the blind tastingblind tastingBlinded wine tasting is wine tasting undertaken in circumstances in which the tasters are kept unaware of the wines' identities.

What is the point of a decanter?
A decanter is a vessel that is used to hold the decantation of a liquid (such as wine) which may contain sediment. Decanters, which have a varied shape and design, have been traditionally made from glass or crystal. Their volume is usually equivalent to one standard bottle of wine (0.75 litre).
Does a decanter make a difference?
Why Decant Wines? Decanting has numerous benefits, including separating the sediment from the liquid. This is especially helpful for red wines, which hold the most sediment. Decanting also enhances a wine's flavor by exposing it to fresh air, and allowing it to breathe.25 May 2021
What traditionally goes in a decanter?
The most common use of a decanter is for the storage and serving of wine, particularly red wine. But other liquors such as whiskey, cognac, bourbon, and scotch also make use of decanters. Some people believe that decanters are there for just the aesthetics they bring to the table.
