PICK THE RIGHT WINE. EVERY TIME.

Vin-Test is the best thing to happen to wine lovers since the invention of the cork.

Welcome to John Juergens' Vin-Test Wine Evaluation System web page. My philosophy is that everyone should be able to find the kinds of wines they like at a reasonable price. The best way to do this is with solid, accurate information that is meaningful to you.

The way I go about this is to use my patented Vin-Test system, which accurately measures the four most important characteristics in finding the kinds of wines you like: Sweetness, Acidity, Tannins, and Body. Once you have this information then the real fun of exploring the aromas, flavors, balance, and nuances begins. Click here to learn more how the Vin-Test Wine Evaluation System was developed and how it works.

As a complement to the objective information from the Vin-Test analysis, I also provide my own sensory descriptions for the wines I evaluate to guide you on aromas, flavors, and other more subjective characteristics . I firmly believe that with this combination of objective and subjective information you can be the ultimate judge of the wines that you prefer the most. I invite you to read more about my system and to check it out for yourself. I welcome feedback on how well it works for you.
