About the project

Vinum ex Machina is a bilingual (English and Russian) wiki-style portal that documents how artificial intelligence is being applied — and could be applied — across the wine industry. The project covers the full value chain: viticulture in the vineyard, winemaking in the cellar, and the wine business that connects producers to drinkers. Content is written in Markdown, committed to Git, and published as a static site so that every claim is versioned and citable.

The long-term ambition is to grow into the Atlas of AI in Wine — a structured, navigable map of who is doing what with AI in wine, where, and how well it works. OenoBench, the wine knowledge benchmark for large language models, is the first pillar of that atlas: a quantitative measure of how deeply general-purpose AI systems understand the domain that the rest of the site describes qualitatively. Additional pillars — case-study catalogues, forward-looking essays, and visual atlases — will follow as the corpus grows.
