Overview
Tipsyyyfy is an AI-powered wine recommendation web app that blends semantic search with geospatial terroir analysis to help users discover wines that match their taste—even if they can’t quite remember what they drank last night.
Built on SBERT embeddings and enriched with features like climate, soil composition, elevation, and alcohol content, it transforms tasting notes and vineyard metadata into 392-dimensional vector representations. Users can search by wine, vibe (via a cold-start emoji quiz), or region—and get recommendations visualized on an interactive 2D map with hover-based explanations.
