Wine & Spirits is an American wine magazine. With offices in New York and San Francisco, the magazine publishes seven issues annually.

In addition to publisher and editor Joshua Greene, among the contributors are Tara Q. Thomas, Patrick Comiskey, Patricio Tapia, Peter Liem, with additional contributing writers such as Fiona Morrison MW, David Schildknecht, Bill St. John and Victor de la Serna.

While the magazine has been rating wine on a 100 point scale for several years, Joshua Greene is an outspoken critic of the system.[1][2]

Though not claiming to have invented it, senior editor Peter Liem was commended by Eric Asimov for discovering the word "gob-less" as a term for wines of grace, balance and finesse, in response to the increasing trend among wine critics who frequently apply the word "gobs" to describe wines of overwhelming power and fruity sweetness.[3][4]
