Methodology

How this buyer map is constructed.

This site is a buyer map. It exists to reduce decision load at the point of purchase.

Scope

The guide supports in-store decisions only. It excludes brands, rankings, tasting notes, health claims, and recipes.

Decision model

1. Start from the most general-purpose option.
2. Branch only when a use case or recipe explicitly requires it.
3. Prefer options with the widest functional overlap.
4. Exit after selecting one bottle.

Label handling

Only clear product labels are considered valid inputs. Marketing language, origin stories, processing claims, and lifestyle framing are ignored.

Update policy

Content changes only when shelf conventions or labeling patterns materially change.
