History

The magazine was started under the name Winestate's Wine & Spirits Buying Guide.^[2] In October 1984 it changed to Wine & Spirits.^[2] Joshua Greene acquired Wine & Spirits in 1989.^[2][1]

While the magazine has been rating wine on a 100-point scale since 1994, Greene is an outspoken critic of the system.^[3][4][5]

In May 2024, Greene announced the magazine was in "considerable debt" and would cease print publication. All staff was laid off, but the website would continue to be updated.^[6][7]
