The Artificial intelligence It is making its way with force and promises to change many aspects of daily life, as we know it today. There are totally opposite positions when it comes to predicting the impact that the use of this technology will have on society: some experts take an alarmist look and anticipate the destruction of millions of jobs; others see Artificial Intelligence as a historic opportunity for humans to abandon repetitive and tedious jobs and focus on more creative tasks.
However, Would you trust Artificial Intelligence when choosing a wine? Before proceeding further, a caveat must be made: this technology by itself is not capable (at the moment?) to taste and evaluate the attributes of a wine, but instead collects information previously provided by experts.
When the Chat GPT is asked which are the best Malbec wines in Argentina, the system responds with good judgment that “there are many exceptional Malbec wines produced in Argentinaso it’s difficult to choose the ‘best’ one, as it depends on each individual’s personal preferences.”
And then he proceeds to list “some” of the most outstanding Malbecs:
1. Catena Zapata Malbec: “This wine is one of the most recognized and awarded in Argentina, with notes of red and black fruits, spices and chocolate. It is produced by the Catena Zapata winery in the Mendoza region,” explains Chat GPT.
2. Achaval Ferrer Malbec: “This wine is known for its complexity and elegance, with notes of black fruits and spices. It is produced by the Achaval Ferrer winery in the Mendoza region,” he reviews.
3. Colomé Malbec: “This wine is produced by the Colomé winery in the Salta region and is characterized by its intensity and depth, with notes of black fruits and spices”, details the Chat GPT.
4. Luigi Bosca Malbec: about this wine, he points out that “it is produced by the Luigi Bosca winery in the Mendoza region and stands out for its complexity and balance, with notes of black fruits, spices and tobacco.”
5. The Enemy Malbec: Regarding this label, it states that “it is produced by the El Enemigo winery in the Mendoza region and is characterized by its power and structure, with notes of black fruits, spices and chocolate.”

In conclusion, he adds (again with good judgment) that “these are just a few of the many exceptional Malbec wines produced in Argentina. Choosing the best one will depend on your personal tastes and the pairing you are looking for.”
Being able to interact with the system, when asked what criteria was used to make this selection of wines, the GPT Chat responds: “The selection of wines that I mentioned above was based on several factors, including:
- Reputation and recognition: The selected wines are widely recognized as some of the best Malbec in Argentina, with numerous awards and recognitions.
- Expert evaluations: the selected wines have been evaluated and rated positively by experts in the world of wine, such as critics and sommeliers.
- Popularity and sales: The selected wines are popular and sell well in the market, indicating that they are widely appreciated by consumers.
- Wine characteristics: The selected wines have distinctive characteristics, such as complexity, balance and specific flavors, which make them stand out among other Malbec wines.
Artificial Intelligence will generate great changes in daily life
“In general, it is a selection of wines that are highly valued by critics, recognized for their quality and that are in strong demand in the market. However, the choice of wine ultimately depends on personal tastes and preferences. of each individual”, repeats the chat based on Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence in the world of wine
Are these factors enough to affirm that they are the best Malbec wines? Faced with this cross-examination, the chat insists that “the factors that I mentioned above, such as reputation and recognition, expert evaluations, popularity and the characteristics of the wine, can be useful to identify some of the most outstanding and appreciated Malbec wines in Argentina, however, this does not mean that they are the best for all tastes and needs“.
“It is important to note that the world of wine is very diverse and there is a wide range of wines Malbec produced in Argentina, each one with its own characteristics and qualities. Choosing the right wine will depend on the preferences and needs of each person”, completes the system.
Along these same lines, we asked Andrea Donadio, the current best sommelier in Argentina, if he believed that one day the profession could be hit by the irruption of this technology: “Honestly, I had never asked myself that question,” said Andrea, who added that to answer it, he asked Chat GPT himself if in the future the AI would replace the sommeliers. And this was the answer she was met with: “Artificial Intelligence is unlikely to completely replace sommeliers in the near or distant future. While AI can be very useful for collecting and analyzing vast amounts of data about wine, sensory evaluation and understanding of the cultural and social context in which wine is consumed are skills that human sommeliers possess and that cannot yet be replicated by AI. Additionally, many consumers prefer to interact with a human sommelier, especially in social situations, and value the full sensory experience that only a human sommelier can provide.”
