Hi Adding points awarded I get 402. The total should have been 396 :-) A quite another point is whether proper statistical analysis could confirm the claim that the number one wine with 36 points really was better that the second one with 42 points. Most often the "winner" in such rankings trumpet his score as a proof of superiority which it isn't. I'm sure this NG has a number of professional statisticians who could give an proper analysis based on the 88 scores. :-) Anders

Also, what do the "Lot" numbers signify? I couldn't figure that one out...

Those are lot numbers discreetly printed on the labels. In the regular co-operative tasting groups I attend, the organizer of each tasting assembles a sheet of information with all available details of each wine, including price, source, importer for imported wines, and any lot or batch information available -- the important part of the AP, with German wines, for example. Occasionally that information is important. This information sheet is distributed at the tasting.

I've got lots and lots of notes from these blind tastings, actually over 25 years of them (but only occasionally do I have the patience to type them into a computer).
