Next Glass makes it easy to shop for beer and wine

Have you ever walked into a beer or wine store only to be overwhelmed by the vast selection, including many options you’d never even heard of? We’ve all been there, but there’s a new app that should help recommend options you’ve yet to taste. Next Glass uses your phone’s camera to scan a bottle before offering you a score as to whether or not you’d like it. Based on ratings submitted the first time the app gets fired up, and scores continually added along the way, the software uses its so-called Genome Cellar to sift through a beer or wine’s chemistry and predict your taste preferences.
