However, what about home usage? A wine tap is going to take up a lot of living-room space. Fortunately, we need not feel left out. For the rest of us, there is the new USB Wine. You can see it in action in the following video. [If the following space appears to be blank, click in it for the video to appear.]
Enjoy your April 1.
Well, you know what they say in Silicon Valley:
ReplyDelete"GIGO . . . Garbage In, Garbage Out."
Just don't have any greater ambition than "Two Buck Chuck" flowing out of that USB spigot.
I'm told that drought conditions in California were s-o-o-o-o-o bad last year that some vintners, as they approached the crush, resorted to the possibly "fraudulent" and "illegal" practice of discreetly adding the (sometimes lethal) chemical Dihydrogen Monoxide (DMHO) to their fermenting wines to salvage the 2018 vintage.

Thankfully, some California vintners adding DHMO to their fermentation tanks isn't the equivalent of some Austrians adding diethylene glycol to their wines back in 1985.

Shouldn't more members of "The Fourth Estate" wine press be "calling out" vintners on this surreptitious practice?
(Just sayin' . . .)
