The Wine USB key - download wine from your computer. Source: Mensup.fr

A new French invention, combining their love of wine with their keenesss for new technologies - the WineUSB. Plug this specialist USB key into your computer and download the wine of your choice.

This is a French device, on a French page, written and spoken in French. However, the video is pretty self-explanatory.

The “Click Here and test for free” button (under the video on the page) has an amusing message -

“Download cancelled. Very happily, this is a pure fiction! However, our engineers have tried everything to make this technology work. Now don’t wait for the official release of the USBWine in 2239 to buy our wines from source at the best prices.”

It is suggested that, in the meantime, those interested sign up to a wine club called 1Vin1Jour - one wine one day - to buy wine direct from vineyards (domains).
