"WINE VENDING MACHINES of different kinds are spreading in different venues, which is great for consumers, wineries, and stores. A couple weeks ago I mentioned the Pennsylvania test market for buying bottled wine at kiosks (Wegman’s is one of the participating stores).
"Corks & More, a wine store in Ithaca, is one of a handful of stores statewide that has wine-by-the-glass vending machines. You put your debit card in and get wine out by the taste, half-glass or glass. Ten vending machines dispense 40 wines, ranging from Opus One ($50 a glass) to Red Cat (75 cents a taste), with 10-15 Finger Lakes wines among the selection. Mirbeau Spa in Skaneateles also has one, as do a few Manhattan wine stores and restaurants."

It could be an interesting way to taste various wines without committing to buying a bottle. But what do you do, just stand there and drink?

There’s actually an entire wine bar full of these machines in Ithaca but I don’t recall the name.

All he needs is a key to the vending machine or a crowbar and he’s fit for life.

Our local wine shop has a machine like this...though they use it strictly for tastings...I’ll have to say, it’s extremely cool...magritte
