The wine industry has taken steps to harness technology as part of their production and marketing process, using tools such as artificial intelligence and digital olfaction. Winemakers use these tools to analyze and improve production processes while cutting waste while increasing profitability; furthermore, technology is also revolutionizing customer experiences by heightening awareness of wine appreciation among its followers.
Decisions on when and how to harvest are typically made by tasting or chemically analyzing grapes to assess their optimal maturity, taking into account not only sugar and polyphenol levels but also aroma and flavor production capabilities.
Winemakers use the blending stage to craft unique blends by mixing wine samples together. Usually this process requires blind tasting which can take time and can be inconvenient for both winemaker and customer alike.
Tastry’s CompuBlend software utilizes consumer preferences data to provide recommendations on the optimal blend for any given wine, as well as suggest how much of each component to add for a well-balanced finished product.
Coronavirus pandemic accelerated many new wine technologies and enabled companies like Adegga to take advantage of this momentous event by connecting consumers directly to producers – an approach which reduced costs while leading to higher profits while offering consumers an immersive and educational experience.
