Several years ago I came up with a better rating system for wines than the current ones generally used. Parker is famous for his 100 point scale; others use 20 points. Or 5 stars. Or the 1000 point scale that has now caused a few ripples in the on-line wine community. But these seem a bit restrictive to me so I argued for an infinity point scale - points are pretty much arbitrary anyway. The scale would not only run from -∞ to +∞ but would also contain different sizes of infinities for which Georg Cantor's אs can be used. My scale is also not limited to integers or real numbers but uses imaginary numbers as well.
So Geoff Hardy's Hand Crafted Shiraz 2014 from McLaren Vale, Australia gets a -6+3i points from me. In some imaginary universe i (haha, geddit? i written small for the imaginary universe? heheh, i must always laugh at my jokes because no one else will) can see myself being mildly positive about this. But in this real world I don't find many positives in it: it smells of vanilla and dried fruit; it lacks refreshing qualities and it seems a bit disjointed.
Quite a useful scale IMO. I think I'll resurrect this method of rating wines.
