LONDON, 5 March 2026
Liv‑ex has launched a new API that enables its members to automatically integrate critics’ scores and tasting notes from JancisRobinson.com directly into their internal systems. The integration is designed to streamline how wine businesses access and maintain wine critic data.
Detail on API
Critics’ scores are vital for the fine wine industry; they enable merchants to evaluate the quality of a wine before offering to their clients, and they help investors to understand what is going to be a highly sought after wine and therefore investment-worthy. The Liv-ex Jancis Robinson API brings JancisRobinson.com scores into Liv-ex members internal systems using Liv-ex’s LWIN matching. LWIN assigns a unique code to wines, similar to ISBN used in books, to codify wine naming across systems and databases. This avoids confusion with different abbreviations as is commonly found across the trade. ‘Being able to view Jancis Robinson’s scores alongside Liv‑ex market data in a single environment helps wine businesses make more informed decisions surrounding buying, selling and pricing fine wine,’ said Anthony Maxwell, Liv‑ex Chief Commercial Officer.
Why this is beneficial for the industry
The API provides access to scores and tasting notes for more than 195,000 wines, including reviewer names, review dates and drinking windows. Users of the API will have the ability to display relevant JancisRobinson.com scores alongside wines on their website, use rating and
review data to inform wine purchase decisions, and analyse drink windows for cellar inventory management. ‘We are committed to providing the most authoritative and independent data in the fine wine world. This new API with Liv-ex is a vital step in making that data accessible. It’s about empowering the trade to make better, faster decisions, which ultimately serves wine lovers around the globe,’ said Lance Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of JancisRobinson.com.
How can people get access to this API?
The integration is available to all Liv‑ex members. Wine businesses interested in using the API can contact the Jancis Robinson team via: https://www.jancisrobinson.com/jancis‑api.
