Quick answers
Is Alves de Sousa Quinta da Gaivosa Tinto any good?
Drinkers rated it 4.4 out of 5, in 1,080 reviews: among the top 10%, on a scale where the overall average is 3.9. Not a critic's score, and nobody paid for it.
What does this rating mean?
It's the average from people who drank it and rated it, from 1 to 5. Almost every wine lands between 3 and 4.5 (the overall average is 3.9), so the number alone is misleading: we also say where it stands compared with the others. It isn't a critic's score, and nobody paid for it.

Are you this wine's producer?
This page comes from the public X-Wines database or from what the house read on the producer's website. Whoever makes the wine knows best: send the official tech sheet, correct what's wrong or ask for it to come down. No producer pays to get in, to move up or to leave, and the sheet you send takes precedence over any other source.
Received, thank you. The house replies to the e-mail you left, confirms it's from the producer and updates the page.
Spotted something wrong on this page?
Got it, thanks. The house checks the source and fixes it.
