Wine tasting results sheet

Make the sheets View: A4 · Letter

The results sheet is the host's page for the end of a tasting you lead: landscape, headed Results, for the host, with a short hint to write each taster's totals and then add up. A Taster column runs down the left, ten to fourteen numbered rows a page, and each wine has its own column, up to six wines a page. Under the rows sit the summary lines: Average, Favourite votes, Price, Points per 100 and Rank. Below the grid come three verdicts to write in, Wine of the evening, Best value and Most divisive, and a blind tasting adds a row, The wine was, for the reveal. The second page is the keepsake, with the evening's headline, the podium and the wine list. It pairs with 20 Points but works with any score, for a club night of ten to forty tasters.

While the last wine is poured, ask everyone to total their sheets, then call the tasters one by one and write their totals across. A second person reading the numbers aloud speeds this up for a large room. Average each column, work out points per 100 from the prices, and rank the wines before you say a word, so the announcement comes in one go. With more tasters than fit, the sheet runs to more pages, and more than six wines take a second sheet beside the first. Print one copy for yourself, beside the 20 Points sheets, the tasting list and the glass mats. A calculator on a phone helps with the averages. Close with the podium on the keepsake page, and keep water on the tables while you count, since the counting takes longer than people expect.
