Abstract

Wine classification is a difficult task since taste is the least understood of the human senses. In this research we propose to use hybrid fuzzy logic techniques to predict human wine test preferences based on physicochemical properties from wine analyses. Data obtained from Portuguese white wines are used in this study. The fuzzy inductive reasoning technique achieved promising results, outperforming not only the other fuzzy approaches studied but also other data mining techniques previously applied to the same dataset, such are neural networks, support vector machines and multiple regression. Modeling wine preferences may be useful not only for marketing purposes but also to improve wine production or support the oenologist wine tasting evaluations.
