Explanation:
Es una escala que la revista usa para clasificar los vinos de 0 a 5 "puffs", recomiendo que lo deje así con una nota explicandolo.

Connoisseur's Guide to California Wine. Monthly, no advertising. Approximately 16 pages per issue, $42/yr. P.O. Box V, Alameda, CA 94501, (510) 865-3150. Focus is strictly on California and U.S. wines. Each issue reviews two to three classes of wine, with 20-40 wines per class. Wines are evaluated by a panel of two on a 5-point scale (0-3 Puffs + Pour it down the drain). Reviewers are said to have "California palates", which means they like big, intense, chewy wines. [Opposing comments welcome!]

tengo más información: los "puffs" son unos símbolos que parecen nubes, están usados exclusivamente por esa revista.

"This wine was highly rated upon release, particularly by the wine publication which used the most whimsical of rating systems - 0, 1, 2, or 3 puffs or clouds. This system at least offers a bit of levity which is more than can be said of the other wine rating systems except for the one I've seen here which offers double curlys, triple flips, and quadruple flying zambonis or whatever"
