Internet May Eliminate the Corkscrew!

Dirty Talk on Wine

Posted 12/20/2007 at 02:16 PM by Dirk

I have seen the future. It is in France and it is on the internet. I could even say that it is the internet. Wine on-line isn't new. Wine in-line is! Even more compelling, it could provide the perfect gift for that wine person in your life.

Of course, I am talking about USB-Wine.

USB-Wine is the perfect size item to fit in a stocking. It shows clean design and is made out of the highest quality stainless steel. Since USB ports are standard, it is sure to fit your computer. USB-Wine is both Windows and Mac compatible. It works for the wine geek in your life...it works for the computer geek in your life.

If you are like me, you don't even consider shopping until the last weekend before Christmas. (It's a guy thing...or just a sign of desperately bad organizational skills.) Shopping is painful, but even worse when you don't have any good ideas. I still think that fruit cake is not an idea. I don't even know if it is animal or mineral. USB-Wine is an idea. It may become the new "must have" toy...and you heard about it HERE!

It is the latest addition to the wonders of the internet. It can deliver wine so easily that you may not need that pesky ah-so to remove corks. You may not even have to make judgmental decisions about screw caps either. Who cares if the wine store is open? USB-Wine will be open. Want to try a great wine before committing to a bottle or a case? USB-Wine can handle the smallest tasks or the largest challenges. We are talking the ability to source wine from anywhere and get it with the immediacy of the internet. Chatting with someone online, and want to share a glass of wine too? USB-Wine can deliver the same wine to both of you.

I can predict that it is just a matter of time before Apple opens its own "i-Wine" site. In the mean time, USB-Wine shopping and delivery are but a click away. You need to experience this latest innovation, which has a chance to integrate the latest of high tech with the timeless traditions of wine.

About the Author

Dirk Hampson

Few winemakers realize the opportunity to build a winemaking program from the ground up, living and growing with the vineyards over two decades. Dirk Hampson, director of winemaking and chairman at Far Niente, and sister wineries Dolce and Nickel & Nickel, counts himself among the fortunate. An enology graduate from the University of California, Davis, Hampson honed his craft at some of Europe's greatest properties, and was the first American to apprentice at Bordeaux First Growth Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Hampson returned to the US and was appointed winemaker at Far Niente in 1983.
