Google introduces a new tool named the “AI Wine Taster.” This tool uses artificial intelligence to analyze wine. It examines the chemical makeup of wine samples. Google aims to help winemakers understand their product better.

The AI Wine Taster identifies specific compounds in the wine. It can detect subtle flavors and aromas. Winemakers often rely on human experts for tasting. This process takes time and costs money. Google’s tool offers a faster, data-driven approach.

Winemakers input a sample into the system. The AI then processes the information quickly. It provides a detailed report on the wine’s profile. This includes notes on fruitiness, acidity, tannins, and potential faults. The report helps winemakers make blending or aging decisions.

Google developed this tool with major wine industry partners. Testing occurred in several well-known vineyards. Results showed the AI matched human expert assessments closely in many areas. It excelled at spotting consistency issues across large batches.

“This tool provides objective data,” said a Google project lead. “It helps winemakers spot trends they might miss. It supports human expertise, it doesn’t replace it.” The goal is improving quality control and efficiency.

The AI Wine Taster focuses on chemical analysis. It doesn’t physically taste wine like a person. It translates complex chemistry into practical information for the winery. The system is designed for commercial wineries first.

Google plans to offer the AI Wine Taster as a cloud service. Wineries can subscribe to use the platform. Pricing details will be announced next month. Early access starts in select regions this fall.
