Electronic tongue created to be wine connoisseur
You may pride yourself on an ability to determine Lambrini from Moët, but an electronic “tongue” has been devised to taste the difference between different types of cava (sparkling wine) on your behalf.
Researchers from the Group of Sensors and Biosensors at the Universtat Autonoma de Barcelona have employed a combination of chemical measurement hardware and software algorithms to recreate the human taste system in a man-made device.
Specifically, the system identifies the differences between the wines by analysing their sugar content, as the amount of sugar added to the wine during fermentation stages determines what type of cava is produced.

Breezaire Compact Series ~ starting at $675.00.
The Breezaire WKC/WKCE Compact Series cooling units are a compact design with cold air discharge on the bottom, which makes them ideal to be installed in cabinets or narrow spaces. They’re not rated for a specified number of cubic feet because they’re intended for cabinets and other constricted enclosures.
The WKCE Models have a digital electronic (Sentry III) thermostat that adds additional safety and convenience features:
- Large, easy to read, green LED display.
- Accurate, easy to adjust (no tools needed) readable set points with continuous reading of enclosure temperature or displaying of set point when changing enclosure temperatures.
- Power outage protection, which delays unit start up after power outages.
- Blocked airflow protection, which shuts down unit and protects wine in case of high temperatures caused by condenser blockage.
- Controls temperature by enclosure air sensors or optional bottle probe.
Breezaire’s Compact Series units are available from Rosehill Wine Cellars starting at $675.00.
