Listen up, wine lovers. You know when you just can’t choose a bottle of vino? We’ve been there, and that’s why we’re all about Bright Cellars, a company started by two MIT grads that uses an algorithm to pair you with the best wines for your tastes.

The Deets: You start by taking a quiz focused on your taste preferences. Once you complete the questionnaire, Bright Cellars creates a profile with six perfect wines for you. (Take the quiz to see your matches.) The company even has a satisfaction guarantee: If you try a bottle and you don’t like it, a replacement bottle will be delivered with your next month’s order. It’s a pretty sweet deal.

Even Better: Bright Cellars is giving Swirled newsletter subscribers 50 percent off their first month of personalized wines. It’s a no-brainer! When you’re sick of stressing about which wine to choose, let technology take the wheel. Sit back, relax and let your wine come straight to you. [Bright Cellars]
