CellarTracker uses a 50-100 point scale for rating wines.
Score Grade Meaning
98-100 A+ Extraordinary
94-97 A Outstanding
90-93 A- Excellent
86-89 B+ Very Good
80-85 B Good
70-79 C Below/Average
50-69 D Avoid
In other words 80 is quite low.

Though I agree that if wine is good (80-85), I tend to rate it between 85-88. I hardly ever go below 80, wine needs to be terrible.

4/1/2021 4:03:00 AM - I agree. Most people on here including myself don't have the experience to score 95-100. Seems silly to have 100 points to play with, but if a wine is good, we only really work between 85-100. What's the point of the other 85 points! I prefer Jancis' 20 point scale (and her scoring on the whole).
