Answers.Text: I looked GWS. They do not give you the actual score. They "calculate" a score based on other wine critics. It also seems like they have only 50 wines in their database. So, if you want to actually look for Wine Advocate or Wine Spectator scores, you'll need to keep looking. I told you, nobody of value will give away scores for free.

Answers.Text: There are over 26,000 wine scores, not just 50. I am not sure where you got that number? You are correct that we cannot share the individual critic scores, but the global wine score shows a consensus of expert opinions including those from Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator like mentioned above.

Answers.Text: There are not 26,000 wine scores because you aggregate them into an average. Are you restricting your searches to 50 hits because when I sort on USA and Red I only get 50 hits.

If you are not signed in the search is restricted, but with a free account you can view all of the scores. You can also access them for free via the API after requesting an API key.

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-10-04)
  
  I'm looking for a wine API with basic info (producer name, name, varietal, region, expert rating, description). Wine.com seems to have deprecated their API last month. I can't find any other ones from sites like WineEnthusiast and WineAdvocate.
  
  Wine-searcher.com has one, but it costs $350 a month and they won't give it to me temporarily (I'm just a student building a prototype app).
  
  Anybody know of any?

  The closest thing I can find (and am currently aware of) is [LCBO API](https://lcboapi.com/). This free API provides details for products sold through the gov't owned liquor retailer in Ontario, Canada. They have a fairly large selection as they are one of the [largest buyers of alcohol products globally](http://www.lcbo.com/content/lcbo/en/corporate-pages/about.html#.WfyTM9WnG70).
  
  By providing a product's [SKU code](http://www.lcbo.com/) to the API, you can retrieve some of the product details you're looking for except rating, and varietal. As a consolation, it does provide details on wine type (red, white, rose, champagne etc.) and country (incl. region for some products), but doesn't provide details such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Merlot, etc.
