# Weinwetter ## Posts - [How WineWetterWelt Helped Me Choose a Bottle in the Wine Shop](https://weinwetterwelt.de/choose-the-correct-wine/): Sometimes buying wine is easy sometimes its a problem to choose the correct wine. You walk into a shop, see a bottle you know, pay for it, and leave like a boss, confident in your decision! or you stand in front of the wine shelf for ten minutes, holding two bottles you like, in a similar price range, and guessing which bottle will be the better choice. That second version is usually me. I wanted to buy a nice bottle of white wine to celebrate finishing a successful app project. Just a small reward. I was drawn to a German white […] - [Why German Wine Seems to Like Cold Weather](https://weinwetterwelt.de/wine-weather-data-aggregation/): Does German wine really prefer colder growing seasons as optimal wine weather? That was one of the first strange conclusions I got from my early WeinWetterWelt analysis. When I looked at German wine as one big group, the model seemed to suggest that better vintages were linked to colder temperatures during the growing season between April and September. At first, this surprised me. The classic story of weather-based wine prediction, especially inspired by Orley Ashenfelter, usually points in another direction: warmer growing seasons can be associated with better wine outcomes, at least this seems to be the case in famous wine […] - [Weather Instead of Guesswork](https://weinwetterwelt.de/weather-instead-of-guesswork/): How WeinWetterWelt Helps You Choose Better Wine Buying wine can be strangely difficult. You stand in a store, look at a bottle, read the label, see the region, the grape variety, the vintage, maybe a short description — and still, the actual question remains open: Will this taste good? Of course, there are many ways to answer that question. You can trust the price. You can trust the label. You can trust an expert rating. Or you can simply trust your feeling. But there is another factor that is often overlooked by beginners: the weather of the vintage. For many wine […] - [Don’t Just Follow the Experts](https://weinwetterwelt.de/dont-just-follow-the-experts/): My Advice for Young Students on How to Deal with Expert Opinions “But they are the experts. You should not question them!” I heard this advice often during my academic career. Usually, I just sat there and did not comment on it, because I knew that if I stated my real opinion about how science and academia treat questioning and critical thinking, I would get into more trouble than it was worth it. When I started my academic career in 2016 with my bachelor’s programme at the University of Oldenburg, the university president, Prof. Dr. Dr. Piper, welcomed every student with […] ## Pages - [Poll](https://weinwetterwelt.de/country-poll/): WineWetterWelt Country Poll WineWetterWelt Poll Which country should be added next?

I am a scientist with a strong interest in data analysis, statistical thinking, and evidence-based decision-making. This project is part of my attempt to build a portfolio around independent data projects that are practical, transparent, and slightly unusual. The idea behind WineWetterWelt was inspired by Orley Ashenfelter and his famous approach to wine vintage prediction. I always found that story fascinating: instead of relying only on expert judgment, he used weather data and statistical models to estimate wine quality. That is exactly the kind of idea I like — simple in principle, controversial in practice, and very uncomfortable […] - [Blog](https://weinwetterwelt.de/blog/) - [Rate Wine](https://weinwetterwelt.de/): Wine Weather Score Explorer Select a country, wine type, region, and vintage to explore weather-based vintage scores.
