In a world where everything is "smart," it is not surprising that even the wine industry will get a taste of the advancement of technology. Introducing the "smart wine dispenser" equipped with touchscreen and wifi.
According to Business Insider, "Kuvée is developing a WiFi-connected smart dispenser that looks and feels like a regular wine bottle. When you insert a proprietary Kuvée wine bottle into the dispenser, it serves one glass at a time and preserves the remainder of the wine".
The smart dispenser is in the form of a bottle, you insert the wine at the bottom of it and the dispenser will do its magic. It can tell you what you are drinking, the wine history, how much is left and much more - using the built-in touch screen. From the screen, you can also view food pairings, tips, and other recommendations. "The Kuvée dispenser is compatible with some California wines, such as Pine Ridge and Bonny Doon. These 750ml bottles cost between $15 and $50".
A lot of people were amazed at the idea of the smart wine dispenser that's why it successfully gathered $6 million in funding. "Announcing $6 million in funding from General Catalyst, Founder Collective, and others," said TechCrunch.
Aside from the smart technology, the smart wine dispenser boasts of its ability to preserve opened wine bottles. It has been patented to Kuvee. Because of this, CEO Vijay Manwani said in an interview with TechCrunch that "Kuvee could make it easier to drink wine by the glass any day of the week since unfinished beverages will stay crisp through the weekend".
Their tagline is "Your perfect glass, anytime". Because Kuvee takes pride in their bottles' ability to preserve wine. According to their website, their smart bottle can keep your wine fresh for a total of 30 days. "Kuvee keeps wine fresh for up to 30 days, so go ahead, open a few, and enjoy your favorite whenever the mood strikes. With Kuvee, you never have to choose just one".
Kuvee Smart wine bottle or dispenser is available for pre-order on www.Kuvee.com. The price of $179 includes the smart bottle and four wines.
