Internet wine delivery

It seems France is way ahead of the rest of the world in nanotechnology.

  1. No merde! Sérieusement?
    Is this a prank? I mean, sure, it's imaginable, like those odorama sites. But I doubt it would fit in such a small device, or render adequately any fine wine.

    Still, it would look great to plug this on your PC at work! "No, this model doesn't make capuccino. Yet."
    :-D

  2. I've heard that the wine it delivers is not very good, but then it's young technology yet.

  3. How do they fit the volume of water and 12% alcohol in the device? Or does it just add aroma to a standard preparation of liquid?

    (I once saw a board game on that principle. Associating basic smell components by using sample tubes, then "guess the aroma".)

  4. Obviously it's assembling molecules sent as basic particles over the phone or cable wires.

  5. To quote several people talking to me: "Sometimes it's hard to know for sure when you're joking."

  6. Oh, I never joke about wine.

    Or was that: I never whine about jokes?

  7. Someone commented that on the Internet they found a patch to the software which makes it output Johnnie Walker instead of wine.

  8. "a patch to the software which makes it output Johnnie Walker instead of wine."

    At this point, I'm ready to believe it's possible.
    But don't expect bubbles in your Champagne just yet.
