## What is Delipair?

The food drink combination has a profound effect on your overall experience, either good or bad. If paired correctly, your drink will compliment your food and add to your enjoyment. 
We used the experience gained running delipair.com food-wine pairing website since 2015 to create ‘Delipair - Food and Wine’. Thanks to the advances in Machine Intelligence and increase of processing power available for mobile devices we were able to create an offline application more robust and versatile than server based solution behind delipair.com website.

Delipair's digital sommelier engine automatically makes recommendation by creating aromatic fingerprint for your food and assessing the strength of aromatic bridge between food and each wine it knows.

To create food aromatic fingerprint Delipair's digital sommelier uses knowledge gained through (machine) learning ingredients and aromatic molecules of 1.3 million recipes from cuisines all around the world. That way you can simply enter a dish name straight from the restaurant menu or online cooking website and Delipair's digital sommelier will decipher its aromatic fingerprint. It works with ingredient names, or mix of dish names and ingredients as well.

Aromatic fingerprints of wines were developed in our laboratory, by scientific analysis of hundreds of wines fitting wine profiles reflecting multiple grape varieties, vinification methods and terroirs of wine regions. For this analysis we used gas chromatography (and we had more fun then scientists from CSI movies doing this).

Based on our research of online wine shops we created a list of profiles to cover most popular wines on the market, and added a few odd but interesting wines we loved the most.

### 5/5 — Questions

*2023-04-24*

Are you updating consistently? The reviews are bad but i want to try it.

### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2022-11-06*

Lacks depth. Throws up random nonsensical hashtags rather than actual recommendations. Try something else.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2022-09-29*

The pairings are decent enough, and the app is simple to use, but I give the low rating for completely excluding  wineries in Canada.

### 1/5 — Deserves a 0

*2022-01-30*

Top choice for pairing filet mignon? Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. Second choice? French Cote d’Or Chardonnay. If something as obvious doesn’t match, how can it be trusted for less obvious choices. I really want a refund.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2021-11-07*

Keeps recommending the same wine for different foods

### 2/5 — Lack of features, details, or accuracy

*2021-01-14*

I think it's better to know "why this pairing is recommended" than a plain (and often off) answer. 
No details are offered with regard to "why these wines are recommended for pairing". In addition, the recommendations are inaccurate (E.g. I typed "Duck breast" and 15 most recommended wines are whites?).

**Developer response:** Hi, please visit our website to get the detail of the pairing process. In a nutshell it is driven by comparing aromatic fingerprint of the food and wine. We build food aromatic fingerprint using mechanism trained on 1 milion of recipes broken down to ingredients, cooking method and matched to aromatic compounds. Wines aromatic fingerprints are based on the lab analysis results. We know that aromatic fingerprint match is not everything, personal preferences are important as well. That's why our app offers a number of filters allowing you to tailor the pairing to your personal preferences. For example if "Duck breast" with a white wine is a no go for you, you can choose only pairing to red wines.
