No matter what stage of market penetration your brand is in, Beverage Testing Institute’s (BTI) acclaimed ratings and reviews can attract buyers and consumers and help solidify your message of quality. Our internationally recognized third-party endorsements help importers, distributors, and retailers feel confident in investing in a wine and their ability to sell it. Many consumers also use our reviews when making buying decisions and react favorably when they see our accolades in winery tasting rooms and on the retail shelves. Our reviews are not only influential in the US, but in Europe, The Pacific Rim, and in other major markets worldwide. BTI hosts a year-round international wine review to provide meaningful, reliable reviews and powerful marketing tools to the wine trade.

WHY CHOOSE BTI?

BTI was founded in 1981 and is one of the premier wine review sources in America. To our knowledge BTI is the only on-going beverage review source of it’s kind in the world. Your ratings are the result of blind sensory analyses by small, highly-trained panels of talented palates from the US trade. We are an independent organization, free of bias and conflict of interest. Our advertisement-and-sponsorship-free charter and our proven blind-tasting methodology ensure integrity, consistency, and accuracy. Purely independent, our only interests are to provide meaningful reviews to consumers and to assist you in your brands’ marketing needs.
