If you are looking for a serious Alexa skill to help you learn about or track your wines, then keep looking. But, if you want to take a humorous look at wine descriptions, you’ve found the right skill. Wine Jester spoofs the wine reviews commonly seen by taking a different approach. This skill has “learned” thousands of bottles of wine through osmosis and will give you a review based on your holding the wine near your Alexa device. Of course, this premise has no basis in reality, but Wine Jester lives in a world of fantasy.
If you’ve ever attended a wine tasting, you were undoubtedly impressed by how detailed the wine experts are in describing a specific wine. They describe the color, fragrance, taste and even suggest foods to enjoy with it (pairings). Well, most of us can’t detect the subtleties that these experts perceive, so Wine Jester was created. Wine Jester will randomize descriptions in those categories for red or white wines.
Full disclosure: Does Wine Jester “know” the wines? Of course not! But we hope you’ll have fun with it! In truth, you don’t need to have a wine nearby, just your imagination!
Here are a few examples of what to expect: Color: This red is a color so dark and sensual, that you can get lost in its depths and spill the rest of the bottle, Wow! Fragrance: You will note that this wine smells like myriad perfumes of wild cherries and wilder horses that leave you numb with thoughts of rodeos and the Wild Wild West. Fabulous!
