Next Glass Learns the Drinks You Like to Make Data-Driven Suggestions

— November 29, 2014 — Tech
When it comes to drinking, if you're someone who prefers to stick to a few tried-and-true favorites rather than branching out into new territory, the Next Glass app is a great system to consult.

Next Glass is data-driven and starts to develop a unique "taste profile" for you based off of your favorite beers and wines. To use the app to see how you might like a drink that's totally foreign to you, all you need to do is scan a wine or beer's label, and the app will immediately get to work to tell you how much of a match it will be to your tastes.

Another neat feature of the Next Glass app is its social aspect, since you can develop a network of friends and family members, and it will take everybody's tastes into consideration if you're looking to buy a new drink that will suit everyone.
