among the many reasons why I prefer beer is that the two main rating sites - beeradvocate and ratebeer - are so massively crowdsourced that "buying" ratings would become prohibitively expensive in no time flat.
Then the manipulation would be discovered and the brand responsible for the manipulation would be destroyed. The end ;)
I hear you Stuart. This whole wine scandal thing really illustrates to me that the traditional leading publications in many fields simply don't have the authority they think they do. Not anymore.
To your point, I'd much rather follow somebody like 1WineDude's opinion on wine (or in the case of beer, a crowdsourced opinion from real beer lovers) than follow some context-free wine score from some blowhard who takes money for showing up to rate wines. Heck, from what I read, most people think this guy doesn't even have a palate.

Nutella hot chocolate? I love you.
