Wine X's New 1,000.00 Point Scale In an effort to conform to wine industry expectations and garner support from an industry that's content on only reaching a sliver of the adult population, Wine X introduces its new 1,000.00 point scale. Written with the trade in mind in winegeek language that even they won't understand (but embrace because it's a "point" system), it's the perfect vehicle to help wineries unload their product on distributors. After that, who cares, right? As long as it's out of the winery it's sold!
1,000.00 Scale
- 999.99 - 1,000.00 = You can't find or afford it
- 988.99 - 999.98 = You may be able to find it, but you still can't afford it
- 977.99 - 988.98 = You must be on their waiting list to be on their mailing list
- 966.99 - 977.98 = Even if you're on their mailing list you can only buy one bottle
- 955.99 - 966.98 = If you brown nose the winemaker you might be able to get two bottles
- 944.99 - 955.98 = Production was more than 100 cases but less than 105933.99 - 944.98 = Winemaker is cute
- 922.99 - 933.98 = So is their spouse
- 911.99 - 922.98 = The highest we'll score wines with no oak
- 900.99 - 911.98 = The lowest we'll score wines with too much oak
- 899.99 - 900.98 = Pure crap
