Interesting app. For sure portugiese wines are very tasty and most of them do not cost very much.
But what’s the definition of best value? A wine that gives you 80 points for 5 pounds or a wine that gives you 90 points for 50 pounds?
The price somebody is willing to pay is a very individual one. But. Also the quality rating is depending on individual tastes.
