Overall Meaning

The song Wine by The Raveonettes is a melancholic and reflective tune that talks about lost love and the memories that come with it. The beginning of the song includes the simple yet powerful lines of "You, me, stars, sleep" which seems to refer to a memory or a specific moment in time that the singer is reliving in their head. They then talk about "Lone roads sprinkled with tears" which could represent the isolation and loneliness felt after a break-up or the aftermath of a particularly emotional moment. The singer then advises against self-destructive behavior and instead suggests filling the time with a more positive outlet, like playing baseball.

The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with the repetition of "Makes me cry, makes me cry" emphasizing the emotions felt when recalling a past love. The line "Summer threw our love away" suggests that the relationship ended suddenly or without warning, leaving the singer feeling lost and hurt. The final lines of the song ("A bad wipeout, you beat 'em everytime") could be interpreted as a metaphor, with the singer comparing their heartbreak to a wipeout while also acknowledging their ability to overcome it.

I'm not an MW (currently studying for WSET3 with wset 1 and 2 already acquired) nor Konstantin but hope I can help.

Aromatic wines are those that have a distinct and pronounced aroma or fragrance, often derived from the grapes themselves. Examples of aromatic wines include Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Muscat. These wines typically have a lighter body and lower alcohol content, and are often served chilled. Aromatic wines are generally considered to be refreshing and easy to drink.

Concentrated wines, on the other hand, are those that have a high concentration of flavor and intensity. This concentration can be achieved through various winemaking techniques such as longer hang time on the vine, lower yields, and selective harvesting. Concentrated wines are typically full-bodied and have a higher alcohol content. Examples of concentrated wines include Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Zinfandel. These wines are often aged in oak barrels to add complexity and depth.

In summary, while both aromatic wines and concentrated wines can be flavorful and enjoyable, the former is known for its pronounced aroma while the latter for its intense flavor concentration.

Chardonnay is the perfect example, it's a varietal that's not very aromatic, so winemakers usually apply various techniques to bring more concentration to it. Chardonnay with heavy oak and malolatic conversion are a prime example of a low aromatic wine but highly concentrated.

As a both AI expert and wine lover my humble opinion is that the main source of confusion is that AI believes labels too much in the training phase. On the other hand wine experts know winemakers' tricks which helps them to denoise judgments. Great video again @Konstantin Baum

Interesting comment, cheers! Yes, after tasting some wine, then reading the winemakers (fantasy) notes on the label, one is often wondering if we are tasting the same wine!

One aspect I see often missed when considering new applications of robotics and AI is that humans tend to prefer it when things are done by other humans. For example, a wine recommendation made by a human is more likely to be desired by another human than asking an AI version of WineSearcher to give them a generated verdict.
AI, in my view has a brighter future assessing vineyard decisions based on physical factors, which is a more technical job were the client favors preciseness over human interaction.

can you make a video on the ageworthiness of wine? which wines are meant to be aged, which wines can be aged and which cant be aged. also the change in flavour for different grapes and wine styles.
also a very interesting topic would be your view on alcohol itself. especially from you beeing in touch with this substance all day and every day. how you and the industry deals with the health issues and addiction of alcohol, thus tasting wine basicly almost every day of the week.

Great stuff! I am a wine student and thought about the same question recently. I think the machine / AI will beat humans in tasting / identifying wines one day, as long as it has enough data to deduce the wines. However, I don't really feel this is going to be a big 'threat' since wines are made for human consumption and the joy is always about sharing with family / friends, this alone is no machine can share!

The development of the application of AI in the wine industry will be really interesting to follow. I don't believe we will see restaurants or wine bars in the near future use AI to help guests pick out a wine for their meal or just for enjoyment. There are so many terms different people use to describe the wine they'd like to have, and I believe AI is far away from being able to interpret all the imprecise descriptions people use.
I can see AI being used in wine education though.
Also, you have interviewed several winemakers on your channel! In your video on the Pfalz you had several interviews, this must be what the AI picked up on ;)

Love your channel! Would be great to hear your recommendations on high-scoring Bordeaux to drink now at say the £30-60 mark. So much of Bordeaux’s output seems to require years of laying down or sits way above that price (or is much cheaper but lacks complexity).

One interesting experiment may be inputting your expressions on ChatGPT and ask what wine it would guess to see if the AI's vs your conclusions will differ (or align).
I have GPT-4 (most recent paid version), and tried this on wine number 2, with a slight adaptation to your descriptions.

Guess the wine (i.e., grape variety, vintage, region, producer) based on this description: Darker in color with a golden tinge, a little more profound in color than a sauvignon blanc; on the nose, ripe apple and lemon but not as expressive or aromatic as a sauvignon blanc; on the palate, rich and concentrated, there's a bit of alcohol at around 13.5 abv, the acidity is not too pronounced, pointing to a warmer region but not a hot region. On the palate there's concentration and richness. There's some banana flavors coming through. Quality is not too great.

ChatGPT:
"Based on the given description, I would guess the wine is a Chardonnay from a warmer region, perhaps a 2018 or 2019 vintage, due to the darker color with a golden tinge, ripe apple and lemon notes, and the higher alcohol content. The warmer region could potentially be California, USA or South Australia. The producer is hard to determine given the provided information, but it may be a lesser-known or budget-friendly producer, since the overall quality is not too great."

Travis Oh, PhD

Here's wine #3:

Guess the wine (i.e., grape variety, vintage, region, producer) based on this description: Purple core but a little lighter to the rim but quite concentrated and rich in terms of color; on the nose, it smells of blackberries, blueberries, and a little bit of pepperiness coming through, with a little rustic, herbaceous notes and flavors of black tea; on the palate, it's actually quite intense, the tannins are grippy, quite a lot of body, maybe 14% of alcohol, the acidity is rather low. Has a lot of bite and grip. All in all, it's a pretty good wine.

GPT-4
"Based on the given description, I would guess the wine is a Syrah/Shiraz from a warmer climate, possibly a 2016 or 2017 vintage, due to the purple core, concentrated color, blackberries, blueberries, pepperiness, and rustic, herbaceous notes. The region could be the Barossa Valley in South Australia or the Rhône Valley in France, where Syrah/Shiraz grapes tend to have that profile. The producer is difficult to determine based on the description, but considering the overall quality of the wine, it could be a well-regarded winery from either of those regions, such as Penfolds or d'Arenberg from Australia, or E. Guigal or M. Chapoutier from France."

Travis Oh, PhD

Konstantin wins! lol

And here's ChatGPT's response when corrected:

"Thank you for providing the correct information. Mullineux is a well-regarded producer in South Africa, known for their quality wines, especially Syrah. I apologize for not guessing the producer accurately earlier. I hope you enjoyed the 2018 Mullineux Syrah and found the tasting notes and description helpful."

When you enter your tasting notes into ChatGBT, it tells me the wines are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Syrah/Shiraz and Pinot Noir. Would be cool to see if you can beat AI in terms of concluding what the wine is!

ChatGBT input: Which wine is this? The has a pale yellow colour with a slight touch of green. On the nose it is super aromatic, a lot of gooseberry, cassis, passionfruit aroma.

ChatGBT output: Based on the description you provided, the wine you are describing is likely a Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blanc wines are known for their pale yellow color with greenish tones and are often described as having a very aromatic nose with notes of gooseberry, cassis, passionfruit, and sometimes even hints of herbaceousness or grassiness. Additionally, Sauvignon Blancs are known for their high acidity, making them refreshing and easy to drink.

Interesting video, result somehow to be expected, I would have wondered if a MoW or even myself woul be beat by an AI learning algorythm using just basic data and what the web offers. BUT this might change if someone is able to use plattforms like Cellartracker to train the AI, because I find that for wines where there are 10+ tasting notes Cellartracker has a tendency to be spot on with my own perception and to be at least as reliable as a MoW or other Professionals.

AI has a huge advantage over humans - it can be completely objective. WS, WA, JS, etc give a wine 98 points, I always wonder if either they directly benefit from sales financially, or they indirectly are biased as they like the winery, place, etc. Or they rate a wine badly because it is from an odd varietal or country. An AI wine critic is more trustworthy, especially if the model and code were provided as open source.

If I get it right, AI is supposed to accumulate the previous knowledge - as such, it depends totally on wine experts, whose descriptions it should accumulate. However, if all the wine expert does can be reduced to analyzing wine technical qualities, so in the near future AI supposedly will be able to do it better than a human. I mean that AI just needs enough data. For example, beyond the chemical analysis of wine, there may be such an input as a terroir analysis, so that AI could possibly make a connection between a chemical and an agricultural data. In the end, my clients expect from me, as a wine seller, to explain them what to expect from a specific wine, why to expect that and how to predict the next wine should be nice even if they come to the store and suddenly I'm on my vacation. It seems like maybe your job will not be replaced nearly by AI, but mine will be in the most near future.

I thought the wine was send to the lab and blind taste to find out the wine. It’s just the technical note from GPT. For me the AI is working based on the data collectively from searching hence why the aging has indicated 10 years 😅. Experts can share more detail knowledge and aging potential because they have tried the wine before but AI (general data) hasn’t. I’ll guess the AI can replace commercial sector for writing the tasting note which is a lot accurate than marketing manager 😂. Peace out

I think I've seen your video from somewhere! Anyway, I think there could be machine learning AI that could actually perform grading of wines. But still not sure how this will be developed. chatGPT would not be able to perform a proper tasting for this matter as first and foremost, it does not have any "tasting" capabilities. There are still loads of limitations to them. Question for you though, you think it's ok for wine makers to use image generator AIs like Bluewillow to create their wine labels?

Hi Konstantin! Thanks for another great video :) I literally just paused mid-way because something you said makes me want to ask you a question that's popped up for me several times already when watching yours and other videos on wine. It's about terminology: at 6:06 you say that Gruener Veltliner is 'not super aromatic, but it can be quite concentrated'. Could you elaborate on the difference between the two terms: what exactly would be the definition of 'aromatic' and what would be 'concentrated'?

Bruno Guedes Souto

Konstantin Baum - Master of Wine

1y↑2

For me aromatic refers to the intensity of the wine’s aroma and concentration in this context referred to the wine’s alcohol and body

C.E.H.

@Bruno Guedes Souto Thanks, that answered my doubt really well!

Thanks as well for the explanation @KonstantinBaumMasterofWine. I think in my mind I associated ''concentrated' more to the flavour (as in 'concentrated fruit') than body (fullness), so perhaps that made me confused.

I'm not convinced this has much to do with AI at all. To me it actually smacks more of a party trick. It brims of commonplaces just like a horoscope does.

Is there a future for AI in the wine tasting business? Yes, but a distant one. Unless a machine can "drink" (i.e. analyze) and gather and deduct further information as a human would do, I'm not impressed.

Chat GPT does not go online and search tasting notes. It is a model that has been trained with lots of texts

Strange that Konstantin is confusing alc. content with body. To me body relates to the extract (the solid stuff). Heavy body meaning a lot of extract. I had cheap thin wines in Sicily some decades ago with probably 16% alc.

I haven't watched the video yet but I can tell you that wine is very subjective. There seems to be no "this is good, that is bad" as far as wines are considered. Now, can a computer get to know your palate? Yes, of course but then again so can a wine reviewer. As you know, I review wine and what I tell the people who follow my wine social media is that if I like for instance a Cabernet Sauvignon and you also happen to like it, we may have the same palate as far as that varietal is concerned. This "like" may not apply however to any other varietal. As foe ChatGPT, it's results are skewed torward....let's just say, a particular way of thinking. By the way, I agree with your thought process.

I asked ChatGPT if certain people were wines what wine would they be. Some of the answers were funny, some weird, some bonkers.
Example I leave here is Donald Trump: Donald Trump would be a bold, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is known for being assertive and powerful, with a bold and sometimes divisive character, much like Donald Trump's public persona. It's a wine that can be quite polarizing, with some people loving it and others finding it too intense. Additionally, Cabernet Sauvignon is often associated with luxury and wealth, which are also characteristics that have been associated with Donald Trump.

MarquisBois

1y↑2

And of course: If Konstantin Baum were a wine, I might suggest a Riesling. Riesling is a grape variety that is often associated with Germany and is capable of producing wines that are complex, nuanced, and full of character, much like Konstantin Baum's expertise and knowledge of wine. Riesling can also be versatile and adaptable, which could reflect Konstantin Baum's ability to communicate with different audiences through his YouTube channel. Additionally, Riesling can be a wine that rewards exploration and study, much like the journey of becoming a master of wine.

Soteriologist

@Konstantin Baum - Master of Wine You are comparing it with your own performance which includes guessing the grape variety. If ChatGPT cannot do that based on the results from the lab, it just isn't ready to compete with you. It looks a bit as if your channel is out of topics to talk about. I would recommend uploading half as much unless you want it to begin to look silly.

Konstantin Baum - Master of Wine

@Soteriologist The AI used in this video wasn't ChatGPT and I was comparing the tasting note it created to my description of the wine. Do you really think I am running out of ideas?
