  Scoring Factors Description
  Deliciousness Factor
  The is the base score for the wine, puts the score in a range
  Score of 1, 2 or 3
  1 - Doesn't leave me wanting more (base score: D)
  2 - Decent (base score: C)
  3 - Why is the bottle empty already (base score: B+)
  
  Refinements
  These are sub-factors which skew the score one way or another. Each factor is again a 3 point scale:
  -1 : Didn't like
  0 : No strong feeling or Don't remember
  +1 : Liked
  
  Each refinement can move the overall score by 1 position (ie, from a B+ to a A or a D to D-)
  
  So if a wine has an overall deliciousness of a B+, but was too expensive for what I thought I got, then it would be a B

  Value
  yes, value. If I know the cost value always comes into play. If I don't know the cost this doesn't change the score.
