While they may be on the verge of being sued by Apple for their “egregious” use of the suffix “pod”, the makers of the WinePod are really on to something. With a self-contained, USB-enabled, smart wine making machine, I’m sure to become a total lush in no time.
Bust out the credit card, purchase the $3,499 WinePod and then the WinePod folks will sell you ready-to-use frozen grapes (or pick them from your own vineyard…lol). The device is pretty much foolproof after that. You can even post your progress online and chat with other wine makers. The WinePod uses WirelessUSB to transmit your wine making progress from the garage to your computer (or to wherever you passed out).
Clearly a very big step up from brewing beer in your closet with your Mr. Beer, the WinePod is very slick and it even looks good. [via Uncrate]
