LONDON, 30th of April 2026
Liv-ex has launched a new API that enables its members to automatically integrate Robert Parker Wine Advocate critic scores, tasting notes and drinking windows directly into their internal systems, providing fine wine businesses with up-to-date critic scores and tasting notes alongside independent price and liquidity data. The new API is designed to remove the manual effort traditionally required to maintain
critic scores across databases, platforms, websites and ERP systems. A process that can also lead to human error and costly mistakes. By automating the delivery of Robert Parker scores fine wine businesses ensure their data remains current, accurate and aligned with live critic sentiment.
A Single, Integrated View of the Market
Critic scores remain a vital tool for fine wine valuation, investment decision making and inventory management, whilst also influencing buyer behaviour, demand and global pricing expectations. By integrating Robert Parker scores through the Liv-ex API, businesses can make fully informed pricing, buying and selling decisions by viewing quality indicators alongside genuine transaction prices, market liquidity, and historic price performance. The integration uses the Liv-ex LWIN identifier to accurately match critic scores to the correct wine, format and vintage. This ensures consistency across systems and removes ambiguity caused by naming variations, enabling greater confidence in pricing, trading and client communication.
Anthony Maxwell, Chief Commercial Officer at Liv-ex, said:
“Fine wine businesses increasingly rely on automation and high-quality data to operate at scale. Integrating Robert Parker Wine Advocate scores directly into member systems is about much more than access, it enables businesses to combine trusted critic scores with live market data in a single, reliable view – supporting faster, more confident pricing and trading decisions.”
Supporting Efficiency, Growth and Professionalisation
For merchants, brokers, traders and investment businesses, the Robert Parker API delivers practical, operational benefits. Automated critic score updates reduces manual data maintenance and improves data quality. With critic scores flowing directly into pricing tools, trading systems and customer-facing platforms, businesses can react faster to market developments, support more informed buying and selling decisions, and consult their own clients with the most accurate, up to date and trusted data.
According to the Robert Parker Wine Advocate team:
“Robert Parker Wine Advocate has been committed for more than four decades to providing the global wine market with independent, rigorous and authoritative reviews. This partnership with Liv-ex enables our scores and tasting notes to be seamlessly integrated into the systems used every day by fine wine professionals. By combining our evaluations with real-time market data, this API ensures our analysis
can be used faster, more accurately and with impact supporting better-informed commercial and investment decisions”

infrastructure for fine wine, where pricing, market sentiment and critics review go hand in hand. The Robert Parker Wine Advocate API is available to Liv-ex members.
