Build a Personal AI Wine Journal with ChatGPT and Google Sheets
I built a workflow that turns the wines I drink into a personal AI wine journal and sommelier that learns my taste over time. I created a master Google Sheet as the database, with fields for the wine, vintage, region, grapes, price, rating, food pairing, where I drank it, who I was with, whether I would buy it again, and my own comments. Whenever I drink a wine, I send ChatGPT a photo of the bottle and a voice note with my reaction. I do not try to sound like a wine expert; I simply describe what I actually thought. ChatGPT identifies the wine, structures the information, preserves my original words, and adds the experience to the journal. Over time, ChatGPT uses my previous ratings and comments to understand my palate and make recommendations specifically for me. I can show it a restaurant wine list or a few bottles in a shop and ask what I am most likely to enjoy. I can also tell it what I am cooking and ask which bottle from my collection I should open. I record the context and memories around each bottle, so the journal is gradually becoming both a wine database and a personal diary. The loop is simple: drink wine, take a photo, send a voice note, let AI structure and save the information, and build a better palate profile for more personal recommendations. Step-by-step: 1. I created a master Google Sheet with fields for the wine, vintage, region, grapes, price, rating, food pairing, where I drank it, who I was with, whether I would buy it again, and my own comments. 2. Whenever I drink a wine, I take a photo of the bottle and send ChatGPT a voice note describing my reaction in my own words. 3. ChatGPT identifies the wine, structures the details, preserves my original comments, and adds the experience to the journal. 4. I continue recording the context and memories around each bottle alongside the wine information. 5. I use my accumulated ratings and comments to help ChatGPT understand my palate and make recommendations from restaurant wine lists, bottles in shops, or my own collection based on what I am cooking. 6. As the journal grows, it becomes both a wine database and a personal diary, while the recommendations become more personal.
