Uncorked – A corker of an idea using science to detect your wine preferences

What a corker of an idea we have uncorked here at IFA 2019. There’s a brand called Dreenk showcasing a wine scanner. A what I hear you ask? Well if you have ever hesitated uncorking that expensive bottle of plonk, you need this device at all times. 

What it does is fairly simple. The scanner analyses some really high-end data about the beverage you’re about to consume. What you do is simply dip the scanner prong into the glass and over time a data base will be built that becomes familiar with your personal tastes.

It measures absorption rates of wavelengths it emits and then transmits them via an app to your phone. Within seconds you’ll know if this is going to be the right drop for you. 

Here’s a quick video to show you a little more. 

Good stuff Dreenk.
