Welcome to the Vinous Top 100 Wines 2025. The Vinous Top 100 aims to capture the diversity and dynamism of today's wine world. This carefully curated selection represents the pinnacle of quality, value and excitement in the world of wine as determined by our team of expert critics, as opposed to simply a list of our highest-scoring wines.

This year, our reviewers spent many months on the road visiting vineyards and talking with winemakers, tasting at both reference-point estates and seeking out the most exciting new producers in every region. We published more than 35,000 reviews, and our critics tasted many more wines that didn't make it into our articles. However, volume for the sake of numbers is never our primary goal. Deep regional reports and extensive producer commentaries are at the core of the unique value we deliver to our readers around the world.

The editorial team engaged in extensive discussions throughout the year to narrow down this list of 100 exceptional bottles. Our selections span the globe, from established regions to emerging appellations, including both iconic producers and exciting newcomers. We have chosen to highlight many wines that deliver remarkable quality with an added focus on relative value and availability. Where some regions may appear overly weighted, that is simply the reflection of exceptional vintages in those places.

We hope the Vinous Top 100 Wines 2025 will serve as both a celebration of the year's finest wines and a valuable resource for wine enthusiasts seeking their next great bottle. Let it inspire you to explore new regions, producers and styles as you continue your own wine journey.
