Notes:
1) Everyone is this list has “wine” as one of their top influences with the exception of Gary Vaynerchuk.
2) Jancis Robinson, Wine Spectator, Jamie Goode, Tim Atkin, Snooth, Decanter magazine, Alder Yarrow, Luiz Alberto, Emmanuel Delmas, Wine Harlots, Ed Thralls Jr, Nicolas de Rouyn, Dusan Jelic, Ilkka Sirén, Paul Mabray, Ryan Opaz, and Lisa Mattson have “wine” as their top influnce (17 out of 23)
3) “Food” and “Social Media” are tied for second place in number of influences (10 people have it as one of their top 3 influences).
4) The top 10 influencers are either from the UK (4) or the USA (6): Jancis Robinson (UK), Gary Vaynerchuk (USA), Wine Spectator (USA), Jamie Goode (UK), Tim Atkin (UK), Snooth (USA), Decanter magazine (UK), Alder Yarrow (USA), and Luiz Alberto (USA).
5) However, from 11th to 20th, there are 7 different countries: Emmanuel Delmas (France), Meg Maker (USA), Wine Harlots (USA), Dusan Jelic (Serbia), Nicolas de Rouyn (France), Ed Thralls Jr (USA), Nicolette Waterford (South Africa), Chris Nishiwaki (USA), Andre Ribeirinho (Portugal), Paul Mabray (USA), Ilkka Sirén (Finland), Ryan Opaz (Spain), and Lisa Mattson (USA).
PS1: There’s a tie for the 20th spot with 4 influencers having the same score.
PS2: “Countries” is where the influencer resides (not where he/she was born).
