... wine critics

Some opt to style themselves wine critics (such as Robert Parker) while more literary stylists as Hugh Johnson and Gerald Asher fall under the definition wine writers.

"the reforms in European wine production for which Parker takes credit were under way well before his arrival, for example .. Émile Peynaud. The complacency of the French had been shattered years earlier following "The Judgement of Paris", .. the English wine press, the old school swept away a decade before that by a new irreverent generation, now mature, who are far more diligent in vinous research than Parker and far more entertaining; for example, Oz Clarke, Anthony Hanson and Jancis Robinson.

a Parker top score valued by some at potentially £5 million.

Robinson called wine critics "parasitical" and urged them to be more humble and honest.
