wippix - what is it?

 

What is wippix?

Simply put, wippix expresses how advantageous it is to buy a given bottle of wine.

Everyone has that experience: you buy a bottle of wine and when you taste it, you say to yourself: "Well, I was expecting something better for that money…"

But what to choose well if you only know its price? If you do not know its quality, you are doomed to eternal testing. And that damn it goes into the money. :)

Ideal for making a decision is to know something that expresses the price / performance ratio of each bottle. This indicator is wippix (wine price / performance index).

How is wippix determined?

In order to be able to compare anything, we need to evaluate the matter. There are several world authorities for the evaluation of wine. And we will be based on their evaluation.

For example, here are 13 bottles that have the same rating, in this case 99 points out of 100.

Rank	Château	AOC	Classification	Rating	Average price (€)	wippix
1	Cos d'Estournel 2018	St-Estèphe	2nd GCC	99	252	2,88
2	Léoville-Las-Cases 2018	St-Julien	2nd GCC	99	271	2,68
3	Vieux Château Certan 2018	Pomerol	·	99	351	2,07
4	Léoville-Las-Cases 2016	St-Julien	2nd GCC	99	367	1,98
5	Palmer 2018	Margaux	3rd GCC	99	486	1,49
6	Cheval Blanc 2018	St-Emilion GC	1st GCCa	99	720	1,01
7	Mouton-Rothschild 2018	Pauillac	1st GCC	99	810	0,90

9	Ausone 2018	St-Emilion GC	1st GCCa	99	830	0,87
10	Ausone 2016	St-Emilion GC	1st GCCa	99	950	0,76
11	Lafite-Rothschild 2018	Pauillac	1st GCC	99	1 015	0,71
12	Lafite-Rothschild 2016	Pauillac	1st GCC	99	1 070	0,68
13	Margaux 2015	Margaux	1st GCC	99	1 490	0,49
	The sum of the prices of all bottles				9 427
	Average price of one bottle (9427/13)				725,15
	wippix for Cos d'Estournel 2018 (725,15/252)				2,88

As we can see in the table, the average price per bottle is € 725,15.

When we compare the price of each bottle with this average price, we get a number that expresses how many times the bottle is more cost-effective than the average price for a bottle with the same rating.

So, for example, for a bottle of Cos d'Estournel 2018 you give 2,88 times less than you would pay for another (average price) bottle of the same rating. Wippix is ​​therefore 2,88 in this case.

This is just an example, in fact we count wippix with hundreds of bottles.
