I'm not a huge wine guy, but if wine was dispensed more like my beloved beer, out of taps, perhaps I would give it another shot. That's exactly what this "Vin au Verre" does, loading up with up to eight of your favorite bottles of wine and keeping them at the ready for your next binge.
In addition to keeping the bottles hooked up to taps, it also keeps them temperature-regulated, storing the bottles at exactly the right temperature they should be stored at. It uses an anti-oxidation system and inert nitrogen gas to keep your wine fresh for up to three weeks after opening it. Eh, I think I'll still stick with beer, but if you're a serious wino this could be just the thing you were looking for to spice up your kitchen.

Very nice, Adam.
This could be a huge seller here in Australia, where the wine market just gets bigger all the time. You should make a trip to the Barossa Valley in South Australia, home to some of the finest labels.
Cheers

there's about 4 glasses of wine in a bottle. so, one bottle is a six pack and 2 bottles, or a magnum, is about a 12 pack. if you don't drink the whole bottle then you can push the cork back into the bottle or screw the cap back on. while i can't think that a quality bottle of red wine would last longer than 3 or 4 days in that condition, i can't imagine not talking about how good it tastes or, on the odd occasion, how bad it tastes while finishing it off.
those cabinets are pretty lame for the most part. they serve a purpose, but they are just as useless as most wine gadgets and paraphernalia.
like aussiejourno suggests, explore and have fun, but if you have a few thousand dollars laying around then take a vacation to australia. they make wine in other countries, but they speak english there.
