La rivista specialistica americana Wine Spectator ha rivelato la Top 100 del 2018. Ogni anno, i redattori di Wine Spectator sondano i vini recensiti nei 12 mesi precedenti e selezionano la loro Top 100, in base a qualità, valore, disponibilità e gusto. Questa lista annuale premia le aziende vinicole di successo, le regioni e le annate di tutto il mondo.
Sul sito di Wine Spectator si possono trovare tutte le classifiche pubblicate a partire dall'anno d'esordio, 1988. Da allora, nuove regioni, uve e stili sono apparsi nell'elenco, ma i classici vanno ancora forte. Goditi la lista dei 100 migliori vini del mondo!
