I have been to three on the list. There are definitely similar or better vineyards in Canada.🇨🇦
Like any list…..take with a grain of salt.
Of course, salt required. The rankings are merely opinion. However, they are informed opinion from industry experts.
There may only be one Canadian, but that is one more than most countries. None from England, which does have great wineries. I would also have expected more from Italy, personally.

Wines of the calibre here are a luxury purchase and luxury goods are usually sold from luxury premises. People don't buy Roll's Royce's from Sid's Autos. And no one buys Chateau D'Yquem from Bert's Booze.
Yes, most wineries also do second wines at lower prices (still often beyond most people's reach) but they are never allowed to outbid the stars.
