The vintner at Landhills Winery, which is located near Santa Barbara, California, wishes to develop an optimal blending plan for the upcoming season. Typically, wines are produced from a blending of several types of grapes. In producing these blended wines the vintner must take into consideration both grape characteristics and government regulations. Each of the candidate blends are then subject to a series of taste tests. In those cases where the candidate wines are found to be unacceptable by the tasters a set of new products are often produced. The vintner plans to use Prescriptive Analytics to help develop an optimal blending strategy and assumes that all bottles produced can be sold. This approach is in contrast to the more traditional methods used by Landhills' major competitors. More specifically, the vintner is going to run a comparative assessment on Landhills' premier Cabernet Sauvignon product sector. The three specific production wines from this sector are: Vintage Cabernet Sauvignon that wholesales for $9 bottle; Non-vintage Cabernet Sauvignon that wholesales for $5.50 bottle; Non-vintage Merlot that wholesales for $2.95 bottle. Listed in the following are the winery objectives and government regulations.
