Robert Parker | Wine Time

Those who like to drink wine are no strangers to Robert Parker. He is the only wine writer/critic who has received the highest presidential honor from the Presidents of France and Italy in history. He has also written many books about wine, such as "The World's Greatest Wine Estate", "Parker's Wine Buying Guide" and so on.

Robert Parker came into contact with wine in 1967, when he took a short break from American college life. He followed his girlfriend to France, because Coca-Cola in France was very expensive, so he began to drink wine, and he has been indissoluble with wine since then , and from then on, the idea of becoming a wine advocate sprouted in Robert Parker's mind.

After graduating with a Juris Doctor degree in 1973, Robert Parker's professional interests began to lean toward the Wine Advocate, although he practiced as an attorney with a firm near Baltimore, Maryland.

In 1975, Robert Parker began writing wine guides. In 1978, he published a direct mail piece called The Baltimore-Washington Wine Advocate, which was later renamed The Wine Advocate. After more than two decades, The Wine Advocate has more than 50,000 subscribers.

According to Leader Magazine, Parker staked his life's reputation by proclaiming 1982 to the public as one of the best wine vintages of the 20th century. Although some experts believe the opposite, the fact is that according to Parker, Bordeaux in 1982 became one of the best vintages of the last century. Since then, Parker has established his reputation and has become more and more influential in the wine industry.

The New York Times said that Robert Parker is the most influential wine critic in the world.

And one of the most influential and controversial features of Parker's wine grading system is his 100-point rating system,

Wines are ranked on a scale of 50 to 100 points based on their colour, appearance, aroma and overall level of quality.

The price difference between 85-point wines and 90-point wines tasted by Robert Parker is about 6 million to 7 million euros in the market, and 100-point wines can quadruple the original price.

2019-05-16 Robert Parker – the most influential wine critic and founder of Wine Advocate announced his retirement.

Over the years, his judgment has shaped the wine market, and his influence on the wine world has arguably contributed to the quality of global winemaking and the rise of California on the global wine stage. His personal integrity and objectivity as a critic have always been impeccable.
