1. A system for displaying wines to a consumer, said system comprising:
- a master wine database for determining and storing a set of wine flavor characteristics for each of a plurality of wines, wherein said set of wine flavor characteristics comprises a value correlated to each of one or more of sweet, oaked, acidic, light-bodied, earthy, and tannic;
a wine presentation system comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing program instructions for displaying said plurality of wines, wherein execution of said program instructions by one or more processors of a computer system causes said one or more processors to;
(a) order each of said plurality of wines for placement into one or more rows in a display according to a first subset of said wine flavor characteristics, said first subset comprising sweet, light-bodied, and oaked; and
(b) order each of said plurality of wines for placement into one or more columns in said display according to a second subset of said wine flavor characteristics, said second subset comprising acidic, earthy, and tannic;
wherein at least one of said one or more rows and at least one of said one or more columns intersect to define a plurality of cells in said display, and wherein each of said plurality of wines is associated with at least one of said plurality of cells.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems for and methods of categorizing wines, recommending sipping wines, pairing wines with foods, and arranging wines in a systematic display. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods evaluate and incorporate individual taste profiles. Defining a set of wine flavor characteristics facilitates comparisons and categorization. Recommendations are facilitated by substantially correlating the individual taste profiles to the wine flavor characteristics. Likewise, wine-food pairings are facilitated by substantially correlating the known food flavors to the wine flavor characteristics. Computer-implemented embodiments allow authorized user input and consumer access via wireless devices.
