The Official 2024 Wine Vintage Chart

Hailstorms in France, wildfires in California, climate change globally. Such variables directly affect the quality of vintages around the world. Wine Enthusiast reviewers update the vintage chart annually to reflect such factors and indicate the average quality and drinkability of vintage-dated wines to help you know which to buy and when to enjoy them. The ratings are broad indications, however, so be aware that many wineries make excellent wines in lower-rated years. Visit wineenthusiast.com/ratings to search for specific reviews on current and past vintages and discover our top-scoring wines, including Hidden Gems, Best Buys, Editors’ Choice and Cellar Selections.
