A forensic analysis of the gap between what you buy and what you actually enjoy.
Your cellar data tells a story you haven't heard yet. Most serious collectors have patterns hiding in plain sight: the producers you rate highest but rarely buy, the bottles that sit for years while you keep opening the same $35 wine, the varietals you think you prefer versus what you actually reach for.
We will write that story for you.
We're not just running your data through a generic AI. WineBrain uses calibrated detector rules tuned against real collector behavior: specific thresholds for hoarding vs aging, loyalty vs wandering, validated positions vs blind buying. The model knows what patterns matter because we tested it against thousands of bottles—not what a chatbot guesses from your file.
The Cellar Roast analyzes your buying and drinking history—not critic scores, not marketing hype—to surface insights you can't see by browsing your cellar.
We surface the gaps between what you buy and what you drink:
"You rate Pinot Noir 8.7 on average but Cabernet Sauvignon 8.1. Yet your cellar is 60% Cab and 15% Pinot. You're hoarding the wrong varietal."
Producers you should keep buying, backed by your own data: high ratings, positive notes, proven track record of actually drinking them.
Producers to reconsider:
Bottles past their drinking window. We calculate how much money is sitting there, probably dead. Drink them now or dump them.
We break down your spending into price tiers and show you where you get the best bang for your buck. If your "everyday" wines rate just as high as your "splurge" wines, you're overpaying for diminishing returns.
One new producer to try that matches your demonstrated preferences—not what critics think you should like. If your data shows you love ripe, bold Napa Cab (even though the wine snobs tell you that's "too approachable"), we'll recommend more of what you actually enjoy.
We don't trust critic scores. A 98-point wine means nothing if your history shows you don't like that style.
We're palate-agnostic. If you love fruit bombs, we'll find you more fruit bombs. If you love lean, mineral-driven wines, we'll match that. Our job is to find what you enjoy, not impose taste.
We're direct. No sugarcoating. If you have 40 years of Cab supply, we'll tell you that. If you've been buying producers you've never tried, we'll call it out.
5-7 specific actions with deadlines. "Open these 6 bottles this month. Stop buying X. Try Y instead. The hard truth: You're accumulating, not aging."
Your cellar data and drinking history. If you use CellarTracker, export your data (My Cellar + Consumed Bottles). If you track in Excel or another app, send us what you have. We'll work with it.
The more data, the better the insights. But even 50 bottles consumed gives us patterns to work with.
WineBrain gives you a forensically tuned profile—specific thresholds for what constitutes hoarding (not aging), which producers you're buying blind, wines past their drinking window with urgency ranked by years overdue. The difference is calibration: we know what the numbers mean because we built the detectors from real data.
Once we have that profile, we'll set up an AI agent to monitor wine deals to find wines that match your demonstrated preferences—not what critics think you should buy.
You get alerts for:
No more FOMO flash sales. No more buying blind. Just signal filtered through your actual data.
