You can learn more about the Wine Spectator Restaurant Wine List Awards here, which describes the criteria for each award level, along with the different pricing designations we note for the winners.

Pricing is not a criteria for an award, but is something our judges determine during our review of the wine list.

If you feel a restaurant is listed with an incorrect pricing designation, please let us know the name and location and we will closely review the wine list again and will consider revising the designation.
