London: Scientists in Spain claim to have developed an “electronic tongue” to rival sommeliers in tasting of cava or the sparkling wine.

A team at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona has created the tongue which uses electronic sensory systems with “advanced mathematical procedures” to identify the different varieties of the Spanish sparkling wine according to taste.

Cava is said to be Catalan alternative to champagne. The scientists aimed to replicate the human tongue to obtain classification of sweetness of the Catalan alternative to champagne by measuring the sugar levels within it. In that way it can accurately detect defects in the production process and act as quality control measure. PTI
