Smartcellar Becomes “Smarter” for Wine Enthusiasts, Restaurateurs with New, Global Data Mining

Restaurateurs can now access a world of wine data, courtesy of SmartCellarsm by Incentient. Delivered via the Apple iPad, SmartCellar will log guests’ menu selection history, using the information not only to present customized suggestions each time the guest frequents the restaurant, but also chart wine enjoyment trends specific to a particular restaurant or restaurant group, geographic market, country - or even trends spanning the entire world.
