That\u2019s the question that Robert T Hodgson asked himself, and decided to      investigate. His analysis, based on 4000 wines entered in 13 different      Californian wine competitions, showed that, no, it\u2019s not a reliable sign.      His conclusion is based on that if a wine wins a medal in one competition it      is not a reliable indication of that it is likely to wine in another      competition. So, the medals seem to be given without much consistency      between wine competitions. if you want to know more you can read the full      article published by the American Association of Wine Economists:          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wine-economics.org\/journal\/content\/Volume4\/number1\/Full%20Texts\/1_wine%20economics_vol%204_1_Robert%20Hodgson.pdf\">An Analysis of the Concordance Among 13 U.S. Wine Competitions<\/a>. But the      study is, we would say, based on the wrong assumption &#8211; that there is a      neutral and general &#8221;scale&#8221; for the &#8221;quality&#8221; of wine. But that is not the      case. Wine is a matter of taste and very subjective. On the other hand, what      one can say is that if a wine has won a medal in a competition, at least      someone has liked it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it a sign of quality if a wine has been give a medal in a wine competition?
