How to Discover Your Vinotype: A Guide to Understanding Your Unique Taste

At Central, we’re dedicated to helping you navigate the vast and varied world of wines, beers, spirits, and non-alcoholics, guided by a belief that personal taste discovery is a journey everyone deserves to embark on. One of the most exciting steps on this journey is discovering your TasteType. But what exactly is a TasteType, and how can it transform your taste exploration? Let’s dive in.

What is a TasteType?

A TasteType is more than just a preference for red over white or a penchant for dry over sweet wines. It's a concept that encompasses the complexity of your taste preferences, sensitivities, and even your personality. Inspired by the pioneering work of wine expert Tim Hanni, the TasteType theory suggests that our taste in wine (and by extension, other beverages) is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and cultural factors. We acknowledge and model our TasteType concept on the foundations laid by Tim Hanni, adapting his insights to encompass a broader spectrum of beverages beyond wine.

Discovering Your TasteType

Discovering your TasteType is a journey into self-awareness, a path that leads to a deeper understanding of your unique palate. At Central, we offer two main avenues to discover your TasteType:

• Interactive Vinny Assistant: Our AI-powered assistant, Vinny, guides you through an engaging quiz. As you answer questions about your taste preferences and experiences, Vinny assesses your responses to pinpoint your TasteType. Learn more about Vinny's role in your taste discovery journey.
• Self-Guided Questionnaire: For those who prefer a more reflective approach, our website offers a comprehensive questionnaire. This self-guided option allows you to ponder your preferences and select answers at your own pace, leading to the discovery of your TasteType.
