TasteDatabank Inc. (Anjo City, Aichi Prefecture: President and CEO Yutaka Kamiya) has launched "Standard Wine," a wine designed to measure individual taste preferences.
"Standard Wine" is a wine scientifically analyzed from wines worldwide and designed as a "reference point" for taste. It combines multivariate data such as sweetness, acidity, bitterness, astringency, umami, aroma, and color tone, blended to reproduce the average taste characteristics of wines globally. Furthermore, this product serves as a "taste ruler" for understanding one's own preferences. By linking with the dedicated app "TasteMap," consumers can visualize and intuitively grasp their "favorite tastes" and taste tendencies. The development utilized over 8,000 types of wine data obtained through analytical instruments like taste sensors, GC-MS, and FT-IR. Through "Standard Wine," we aim to foster a new wine culture where everyone, from beginners to enthusiasts, can discover and enjoy their preferences.
■ 3 Key Points
1. Developed based on analytical data from over 8,000 types of wines worldwide.
2. Visualizes taste tendencies starting from "Standard Wine."
3. Visualizes "favorite tastes" on a map in conjunction with the TasteMap app.
An app visualizing 530 analytical data points.
■ "TasteMap" App Linked with "Standard Wine"
Users can connect to the dedicated app "TasteMap" via a QR code on the "Standard Wine" label. By inputting their perceived "acidity, sweetness, and body" when drinking Standard Wine, users analyze their taste tendencies.
Based on the input data, the app matches the user's taste data with wines handled by partner stores, visualizing the consumer's "favorite tastes" on the TasteMap. On the map, users can intuitively identify wines similar to their preferences and new flavors.
This provides a new wine experience that allows for visual and structural understanding of sensations like "I just like it" or "It's hard to describe in words."
The accumulated evaluation data will be used to enhance the recommendation function and improve product assortment and store layout at retail stores.
■ How to Utilize the App at Retail Stores
Retail stores can utilize the TasteMap app for free by adopting "Standard Wine" as one of their handled products.
