My Biotech Life

Have you ever wanted to taste a certain type of wine but just couldn’t take the risk of paying for an expensive bottle just to find out later that you don’t really like it?

Well, I’ve run across this very cool company called Enomatic that produces wine serving systems that allow you to dispense wine on a pay-per-serving basis.

So, for example, you walk into a wine store and are presented with these machines that let you get a taste of a various types of wine. You try a couple servings of different brands, you find one that suits your palate and you purchase a bottle. Easy!

You are probably thinking about two things now. First, wine can be very expensive and shops don’t open expensive bottles of wine just for tasting. Second, if the bottle is opened it should be consumed over the next couple of hours.

Here is the “magic” of Enomatic’s machines. They dispense servings of wine on a pay-per-serving basis using special credit cards that can be charged in the shop. Each bottle can have a different price per serving, which makes sense.
And as for maintaining the wine in good drinking condition, the Enomatic system preserves the wine by injecting nitrogen (an inert gas) into the bottle in the same volume as that removed in each serving.

I’d love to find a wine shop here in Portugal with this system set up. I bet it would be a big success, specially since we are a wine producing country.
