conclusion (0-5):
0 – This wine needs to be poured down the sink and forever forgotten
1 – This wine should be returned to whomever it was purchased from
2 – If I throw up from this wine I’m not going to be mad, but I’ll know why I threw up
3 – I’d drink this at work
4 – I’d be open to sharing the bottle, but I really have to like you
5 – No one should plan to get a glass of this wine. It’s all mine and I will be finishing the full bottle
