Liv-ex Integrates Jancis Robinson Critic Scores via New API
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.
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.

This week in wine: Trade levels down overall; US buyers holding strongest
US buyers held strong, their share of purchasing overtaking that of the UK.
The latest Talking Trade is now live!
- Bordeaux led the market, followed by Burgundy and Champagne.
- Armand de Brignac’s Ace of Spades Gold Brut was the top-traded wine of the week by value, buyers concentrated in Asia. Opus One 2021 and D’Auvenay Bonnes Mares 2010 followed.
- With bank holidays in the UK and Europe and the start of the 2025 Bordeaux En Primeur campaign causing some distraction, trade levels were lower this week than last week. US buyers held strong, their share of purchasing overtaking that of the UK.
Bordeaux again led the market, claiming a 28.9% share of traded value. Le Pin 2023 was the region’s top-traded wine by value, changing hand at £19,912/$27,279 per 12×75 / €1,941 per bottle. The 2023s do now appear to be trading actively, coming in as Bordeaux’s second top-traded vintage after the 2017 this week.
Burgundy followed in second place, its share decreasing slightly from 20.1% last week to 18.5% this week.
Champagne placed third with a 14.8% share. Armand de Brignac was the top traded producer, with buying concentrated in Asia. Salon followed, its buying split evenly between the UK and US.
The Rhone had another strong week, maintaining a 5.5% share of the market. While E. Guigal was the region’s top-traded producer by value, wines from Famille Perrin and Clos des Papes traded most frequently.
Despite falling slightly on last week, Tuscany remained strong above its April share. Higher volume trades of Tignanello buoyed the region, accounting for close to a quarter of its traded value. Tuscany also saw a solid amount of US-backed Brunello buying.
The US took a 5.8% share of traded value, thanks largely to Opus One.

Tom Burchfield, Head of Market Intelligence at Liv-ex, joins Sarah Kemp on Wine Conversation to discuss the state of the broader fine wine market – and what it will take to make this year’s En Primeur campaign a success.
“It looks like demand for Bordeaux is elastic but there is a certain price point at which demand is unlocked. For vintages like 2021, demand was unlocked well below ex-château pricing,” Tom Burchfield says.

Conti Costanti was the top-traded wine across vintages, US buyers leading its purchasing.
Piedmont’s share rose to 6.0% thanks largely to US purchasing of Giacomo Conterno’s Barolo Monfortino Riserva, the 2019, 2013 and 2010 vintages leading the region’s trade.
US purchasing rose to 6.1%, Screaming Eagle 2019 in the top position.
