## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for wine banking professionals to model the economic impact of barrel aging. It calculates the annual cost per liter using `get_annual_liquid_cost`, tracks inventory depletion via `get_cumulative_evaporation_loss`, determines necessary price increases with `get_break_even_premium`, and evaluates the efficiency of new versus neutral barrels with `compare_barrel_economics`.

## Tools

### compare_barrel_economics
Compares the efficiency of using a brand new barrel versus a neutral (reused) barrel

### get_annual_liquid_cost
Calculates the total cost of maintaining a single barrel for one year, accounting for the wine volume

### get_break_even_premium
Determines the minimum price increase required per liter to make the aging process profitable

### get_cumulative_evaporation_loss
Calculates the total volume of wine lost to the "angel's share" over the entire lifespan of the barrel

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the annual cost per liter for a 225L barrel costing $500, with a 5-year lifespan, 90% fill, $50 annual storage, $20 annual labor, and 3% angel's share.
```

**Response:** 
```
The annual barrel cost per liter is $12.45, with a total annual maintenance cost of $70.00.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much wine will be lost from a 200L initial fill over 10 years with a 2% annual evaporation rate?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total volume lost is 36.42 liters, leaving a remaining volume of 163.58 liters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the required premium per liter if I have $1000 in total costs, lost 20L of wine, started with 100L, and have 80L remaining?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required premium per liter to break even is $12.50.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the angel's share affect my costs?**
The angel's share represents the volume lost to evaporation. You can use `get_cumulative_evaporation_loss` to see how much liquid is lost over time, which directly increases the required premium to break even.

**Can I compare new and reused barrels?**
Yes, the `compare_barrel_economics` tool allows you to compare the cost per liter of a brand new barrel against a neutral (reused) barrel to find efficiency gains.

**What is the break-even premium?**
It is the minimum price increase per liter needed to cover all capital expenditures and evaporation losses. Use `get_break_even_premium` to calculate this value.
