Hello Demetri Walters MW, what will be the key determine factors for producer's to choose specific method? Does OTR, Cork Taint concerns, and Price plays more dominant influence than Sustainability, Aesthetic, and Tradition? [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

I had not considered using LLM's to enhance my learning experience, but I am now very intrigued.

Interesting. I use Chatgpt for writing all kinds of things, not to come up with the original piece, but to enhance mine, (as a ESL person). Also to give me ideas or to save enormous amount of time from googling. However, for my Diploma studies I only asked it to give me a study plan (which I have not followed because I am very busy), or a strategic summary (saving me time) of varieties, compare regions, etc. But never more than that. The exams are handwritten and that for me it tougher than memorizing. I use the diploma as an exercise to keep my mind working! I wonder how they can sustain in time with handwritten exams. My children don't do any handwriting in school except for calculations on paper... They do write, but basic. Only use computer now in schools for writing. It is sad, but they don't know cursive (don't understand it either). I don't say it is wrong or right, I just say things change and the WSET will have to adapt. Maybe AI is going to even be required for certain exercises.

Balanced piece. Every tech advance has required academia (Wine or otherwise) to adjust; calculators, word processors, spell check, grammar check.

Just curious as to how one goes about asking LLMs to summarize long pieces of text to extract essential, useful pieces of information?

RE: How Production Methods Influence Fortified Wines

Can you clarify what is meant when you say Stanford & Killeen's Rutherglen Muscat is "fortified at around 2%–3% of natural alcohol"? Does this mean that the wine is only at 2-3% abv prior to fortification?
