Brought to you by the creators of the first international wine competition in the US. The most scientifically rigorous and trusted wine reviews and competitions there are.
Since 1981, our wine ratings, reviews, and competitions have put countless brands on the map, let's do the same for yours.
We've helped huge brands like Barefoot, Kendall Jackson, and Saracco, as well as boutique producers like Villadoria, Grgich Hills, Domaine Carneros, and Monte d'Oro, we recognize, award, and broadcast the flavor and quality that set your brand apart. To this day BevTest is the fairest, most consistent professional wine review source out there. We wouldn't be regarded as such by brands like this if we weren't.
"If a winery needs an appropriate rating before I can buy it, I send them your way."
- David Chesterfield, Gold Medal Wine Club

Our winery has had Tastings rate our wines for a number of years." We use the bottle stickers and shelf talkers for both education and to enhance our marketing." We have had distributors request bottle stickers, and during wine pourings, we use the shelf talkers as a customer take away. " We appreciate the information written by Tastings since we find it to be concise, descriptive, informational, and a well rounded review of our wines."
- Janet Soderberg, Janet Soderberg

- Tom Cosentino, Executive Director, Garden State Wine Growers Association
“I can add a personal endorsement based on decades of experience with BevTest when I ran the New York Wine & Grape Foundation...with good results. Because New York has a broad diversity of grape varieties—Native American, French hybrids, Cornell creations, Minnesota varietals, and Vinifera—it was important that the judges were "open-palated" and not "viticultural racists", but gave every wine the fair chance it deserved. BevTest met that test.”
- Jim Trezise, Wine America
“I really think that these reviews are generally helpful and I love the quick turn around. I have been doing this a long time now and I can say that your reviews are not give aways and therefore deserve more credit from the trade.”
- C. Kirk Ermisch, Elixir Wine Group
"BevTest built the Kendall-Jackson brand."
- Chris Jackson, Jackson Family Winery
“The experience working with BevTest was wonderful.”
- John McGregor, McGregor Vineyard
