Wine rankings and the Borda method
Salvador Barberà, Walter Bossert and Juan D. Moreno-Ternero
Abstract
Abstract. We propose to use the classical Borda rule to establish wine rankings. Unlike alternative approaches, this method has a powerful attribute: it is well-defined even if the panelists’ quality relations are not required to exhibit demanding properties such as completeness or transitivity. We apply the method to rank Bordeaux wines assessed by different experts, some of whom do not rate all of the wines under consideration. Journal of Economic Literature
