This very moment, approximately 1 million winemakers on Earth are competing viciously for a chance to fill that empty glass in your cabinet. Together, they bring nearly 30 million metric tons of wine from over 60 countries to market each year. Need to decant that data a bit? It's about 36 billion bottles of wine, or 4.8 bottles for every living human, produced annually. Where does the wine go? According to Wine Spectator, 87% successfully sells and makes its way into the never-ending maze of wine shop displays everywhere, making the process of choosing the right wine increasingly confusing for average consumers.

Take the US market for example: the nation has been the #1 consumer globally since 2010, spending nearly $40 billion per year in the pursuit of good wine, yet only 16% of American wine drinkers claim to know a good amount about the product. Crunch those numbers and you'll see the vast majority of wine drinkers are basically "winging it" when making purchase decisions. The result: dissatisfied customers increasingly intimidated by wine, no closer to understanding a product that should be simple and delicious. The big winners in this paradigm are the giant mass-production wine factories like Gallo, The Wine Group, and Constellation - corporate Goliaths with massive marketing budgets, banking on consumer ignorance and market saturation. Actual quality is far from top priority when giant displays and brand familiarity can guarantee sales. How can you ever know which wines are actually the best, and more importantly the best for you?
