Hey folks. I built a small web app last week to help assisting with vintage wine purchase decision (e.g. auction 
). It’d be great to get some feedback from people who like to buy old wines, any positives, negatives, and suggests are all welcome.
To try out, visit one of the two links below. Type in wine names or snap the bottle label.

Background
The idea came as I regularly visit the wine auction sites and vintage wine stores, and I encountered some bottles with potential. However, I may not familiar with some aspect of the wines; For example, a bottle from a good Burgundy vintage but lesser-known producer/vineyard, or maybe an old bottle from a great Bordeaux producer but lesser vintage with uncertain drinkability. We all know professional scores made decades ago can be less relevant, and I’d personally spent a lot of time down the rabbit hole on Wine Searcher to check the price range, vintage drinkability, then go over to Cellar Tracker, Reddit or Google digging through recent reviews trying to guess if the bottle still has drinkability potential or not. The whole process can be a massive time wasting especially when going through a long auction list, so I decided to just create a simple AI app to help doing the research and give a quick summary in an easily digestible format.
The snapshot below is from Jean Michel Guillon I auctioned from Zachy’s for $500 / case incl. premium.
Appreciate everyone time to test out and provide the feedback.
Cheers!
