AI Can't Taste Wine but Can Determine What Humans Will Like – IAM Network

Just about this time last year, Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg and special guests Paris Hilton and R&B artist Tank were getting into the holiday spirit on an episode of VH1's Martha and Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party. Standing on a set decked out with holiday regalia, Snoop proclaimed that it was time for a libation, then asked, "Martha, what will you be making for us to drink today?""It's mulled wine," replied Stewart, standing before a stove of gleaming pots. After running through the basics of cooking up a sugar syrup with star anise, Stewart deftly emptied an entire bottle of wine--a 2017 Marquis de Bacalan sauvignon blanc--into the pot. Amid the distractions of a whooping audience, Snoop's commentary and Hilton's jeweled fingerless gloves, you can almost miss the plug that Stewart delivers as the camera zeros in on the bottle."This is the Martha Wine Company," she says.It's the Martha Stewart Wine Company, to be precise. But odds are that few in the crowd failed to grasp that the sauvignon blanc she was using on the show was among the many offerings of Stewart's retail empire.
