Patent ID: 8263165

Claim:
A combinatorial chemistry-related method of making a combinatorial library of wines, the combinatorial chemistry-related method comprising the steps of: (a) providing five or more vessels; (b) introducing a plurality of wines or components thereof into the five or more vessels forming five or more blends; (c) rapidly testing or measuring a property of the five or more blends to produce the combinatorial library of wines by utilizing at least two of nuclear magnetic resonance testing; light absorbance spectrum analysis; hydrometer testing; IR, far IR, UV, visible or Raman spectroscopy testing; acoustical measurement compression testing; viscometry; light scattering; gel permeation chromatography; dynamic mechanical analysis; x-ray diffraction; mass spectroscopy; mass spectral analysis; impedance measurements; and ultrasonics, (d) comparing the rapidly tested or measured property from step (c) to a same or similar property of a standard wine; and (e) producing a target wine based on step (d).
