How are wines measured in points?!
There is no standard evaluation that is why the point a wine is given is followed by who gave the rating. Same wine will receive different rating depending on the expert and when they were tested. In any case a common understanding is the following:
100 - 95 : Superb
94 -90 : Excellent
89 - 85 : Very Good
84 - 80 : Good
79- 70 : Average
The process is very subjective and takes things like:
Visual: Aspect, Color
Aromas: Quality, complexity, intensity
Taste: Acid level, stringent level, bitter, body, quality complexity
Harmony
Persistence
Like the above person said, this has to be specific to the type of wine you are tasting.
Cheers!!!
Answers: Usually on a scale from 0 to 100 where 100 is the "perfect" wine

It's largely opinion based, by tastings done by "expert" judges. The points they obtain aren't really averaged over all tastings, so you can't take them to be definitive.
Some things they are looking for are color, appearance, if it has "legs" or not, if you can taste the alcohol or not, what sort of flavors it has, and how it tastes given its varietal. If you taste the same wine twice, and the first time you're told its a pinot noir it could rate highly. But, told it's a Cabernet it would rate low, because that's not how Cabernets taste so it wouldn't fit the style.
