Amazon launches a sommelier service

Not here--yet!--they're testing it in Japan.

Anyone think it would work here? I'm not seeing it. I can't imagine anyone on this forum using it, but what about the average Joe--or Josette, if the figure about the percentage of wine purchased in grocery stores by women still holds true (it was around 90% some years ago). When most people need a sommelier it's for something they're doing now, TODAY. It's an immediate need, not one you'd satisfy by calling someone and having them mail you the result.
