  • Systems and methods for evaluation of wine characteristics
    Patent number: 10488383
    Abstract: A method comprises: receiving wine evaluations of wines from wine panelists, each wine evaluation including intensity values describing a plurality of wine characteristics for each of a set of wines, each wine evaluation generated by a wine panelist; generating a global intensity value from particular intensity values describing a particular wine characteristic of a particular wine, the particular intensity values being from the wine evaluations; comparing a selected intensity value generated by a selected wine panelist describing the particular wine characteristic for the particular wine against the global intensity value to determine an accuracy deviation; comparing the accuracy deviation against an accuracy deviation threshold to determine whether the selected intensity value is deemed inaccurate based on the comparison; updating the global intensity value for the particular wine characteristic for the particular wine based on the accuracy determination; and storing the updated global intensity value in a

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WINE RANKING
    Publication number: 20150205801
    Abstract: An exemplary method comprises describing a plurality of wines, each wine of the plurality of wines being described using descriptors, receiving at least one predetermined intensity value associated with each descriptor, storing the descriptors within a wine database, generating a consumer wine preference profile that includes a plurality of user preference intensity values, at least one of the plurality of user preference intensity values being associated with at least one of the descriptors, selecting at least one wine from the plurality of wines by correlating at least a subset of the plurality of user preference intensity values with at least a subset of the predetermined intensity values, and providing identification of the selected at least one wine from the plurality of wines.
