Wines lists are usually ordered using ratings. On a community like adegga this has two problems: 1) it assumes everyone is rating wines and 2) is assumes that ratings scales are all used equally. Neither of this points are true and so we decided to create a new way to rank wines based on their social activity.

The Winerank is basically a new way to measure the level of interestingness of a wine and it is based on the actions taken by the community members on each wine.

The winerank for each wine is calculated using an algorithm that includes many wine properties: we included the wine’s average rating, the number of written wine notes, the number of times the wine was selected as a favourite, how many people added the wine to their wishlist, the number of people who have the wine in their cellars and a few more properties. On top of these we add weights to each property in order to bring out the best results.

The Winerank evolves with the community as more people add their ratings, favourites, wishes, etc. The overall ranking is re-calculated every 24 hours. Check the current top Wines by Winerank to see the rank in action.

We hope you enjoy this new social way of discovering wines.
