"AI is coming for everyone's jobs."

In this thought-provoking episode of Got Somme, host Angus O'Loughlin puts artificial intelligence to the test in a head-to-head wine tasting battle against one of Australia’s top Master Sommeliers, Carlos Santos. Can ChatGPT hold its own in a blind tasting of red wine? How does AI fare in analysing the nuances of a French Chardonnay?

The episode explores how technology in wine—particularly AI—could shape the future of wine assessment, wine pairing, and sommelier culture. With both participants sharing their insights, tasting notes, and predictions, this is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intersection of AI and the wine industry.

Listen now to explore the bold new frontier where technology meets terroir—and find out who really knows their wine: man or machine?

Key Takeaways:


🤖 AI is powerful, offering fast wine recommendations, but still lacks the intuition and emotional nuance of a human.


🍷 Carlos Santos demonstrates the depth of human wine tasting experience, especially in a blind challenge.


🧠 ChatGPT uses vast data for analysis, but context and subtlety remain its weaknesses.


💬 The conversation explores how AI tools like ChatGPT might complement sommeliers—not replace them.


🌍 Discussions also touch on wine regions, Burgundy wines, and personal preferences.


❤️ Carlos’s stories bring out the romance of wine—something AI can’t replicate (yet).
