The tech startup that taught a computer to taste wine

By combining chemistry and AI to analyze and compare wines, Tastry is connecting the dots between vintners, retailers and consumers.
Founder Katerina Axelsson says Tastry uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze "tens of thousands of wines a year," generating vast reams of data to help winemakers and retailers target their products more effectively. Axelsson formed her idea as a chemistry student working at a winery, where she noticed "idiosyncrasies" in how wine was evaluated. A 100,000-gallon tank of wine would be divided in two and sold to two different brands, where it would end up in different bottles, sold at different prices and receive different scores from critics, she says.More Related News
