About This Wine Does Not Exist
This Wine Does Not Exist is a small AI art project by David Rose. It started as an experiment in scraping wine data, training neural networks on wine text, and generating bottle labels before modern image generators made that kind of output ordinary.
The original work used a character-level TensorFlow model for names, GPT-2-style PyTorch training for descriptions, and StyleGAN-era image generation for labels. The current site is a lightweight FastAPI app that serves the generated content from SQLite and MinIO so the old experiment remains online.
