Data-driven wine advice from SommelierX
The perfect wine with babi ketjap depends on how the dish tastes, not on a rule of thumb. Pork, ketjap and the preparation together form a flavour profile you can measure. That is what we do with the Wine DNA: a translation of the dish into flavour axes, after which the algorithm finds matching wine styles. It yields a clear, reasoned choice instead of doubt at the wine rack. See the profile of babi ketjap below, the top-scoring wines and concrete serving advice.
The Wine DNA of babi ketjap shows a clear profile: Savoury and spice are the strongest flavour axes. Our algorithm translates this flavour balance into wines whose own DNA axes — acidity, tannin, body, fruit and spice — complement the dish rather than overpower it. The higher an axis below, the more that taste defines the dish and the more precisely the wine selection responds to it.
