## Description

This MCP server provides specialized decision-support tools for winemakers and enologists to select the ideal bottle closure. By analyzing oxygen transmission rates (OTR), target aging durations, and economic constraints, the tool helps prevent premature oxidation or reductive aromas. Use `get_closure_recommendation` to find the best match for a specific wine style, `calculate_otr_compatibility` to verify oxygen levels, `estimate_bottle_variation` to predict quality divergence, and `analyze_closure_economics` to ensure cost-effectiveness relative to retail price.

## Tools

### analyze_closure_economics
Compares the cost of various closure options against the wine's price point

### calculate_otr_compatibility
Evaluates if a specific closure's oxygen transmission rate aligns with the wine's aging needs

### estimate_bottle_variation
Predicts the likelihood of quality divergence across a batch of bottles

### get_closure_recommendation
Provides the single best closure recommendation based on all user constraints

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the best closure for a Bold Red wine intended to age for 10 years with a budget of $0.50 per unit?
```

**Response:** 
```
The recommended closure is Technical Cork, which provides the necessary oxygen ingress for tannin management over a decade while remaining within your budget.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a screw cap compatible with a Light White wine that needs minimal oxygen for 2 years of storage?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, a screw cap is highly compatible as it provides the minimal oxygen ingress required for short-term storage of delicate white wines.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will a $25 bottle of wine be economically viable if the closure costs $5?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, a $5 closure for a $25 bottle represents 20% of the retail price, which is flagged as low economic feasibility.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool recommend a closure?**
The tool uses `get_closure_recommendation` to evaluate wine style, intended aging years, oxygen needs, and budget to provide a single optimal recommendation.

**Can I check if a specific closure is suitable for my wine?**
Yes, you can use `calculate_otr_compatibility` to determine if a closure's oxygen transmission rate aligns with your wine's aging requirements.

**How is bottle variation calculated?**
You can use `estimate_bottle_variation` to predict the likelihood of quality divergence across a batch based on the closure type and aging duration.
