    Something is not “very unique.” It’s either unique or not unique. Not “very unique,” nor “somewhat unique,” It’s like being pregnant, you are or you aren’t.,

      Thanks for the grammar/English lesson, but I like my editorial license.

        True, I think there are other, less enjoyable, definitive terms – but we will leave those out of this grammar lesson.

      Essentially, if u do not see a- do not buy. No official flaws but there is so much more out there that is better

    Gotcha. There’s a huge advantage to creating your own scale: you don’t feel pressured to modify your rating if somebody else agrees. It’s like a language/culture gap. I’ve been using my own number scale, that I allow to evolve as my palate gets more fine-tuned, and I get to repeatedly face-off my favorite wines (or least-favorite if I’m stuck in one of those “situations”😋). It’s currently standing at a -4 😋 to 11 range, An “average” $17-28 bottle usually gets 2, for example. *shrug*
