It's an Omen that I will be drinking more of this Oregonian Pinot Noir soon! The Omen from Atlas Wine Company was just what I needed on a cold rainy night. #kuvée #kuveé #kuvee (at Washington Heights, New York)

Kuveé

Did you ever wish that drinking adult grape juice could involve more pretentiousness and gadgetry? Kuveé (VC: $6mm) sure as shit did. Their smart wine bottle brings the exciting technological world of vendor lock-in, cloud services that will soon be shut down and miniscule battery life to the staid world of smushed grapes in bottles. You can tell that they mean business, because they figured out how to put an accent mark on one of their e's.

One suspects that the wine bottle connects to The Cloud simply because someone had a bunch of leftover AWS credits and this was the best idea anyone could come up with to burn them off.

Will investors make their money back? Seems real unlikely, but people do seem to drink a lot of this stuff already. They need to sell like 2 million bottles of wine to recoup the investment to date, and it's not like anything could possibly go wrong before that happens.

Should you enjoy the free ride? The wine isn't particularly any cheaper than down the street, but it does come in fancy bottles with screw tops and you can buy it in the middle of the night (not unlike Mad Dog 20/20). No word yet on whether Kuveé's Smart Bottle works with third-party paper bag accessories.

Instead of investing in a Wine Consumption System, you could just drink your wine faster. Or buy smaller bottles. If you are really determined to be a nerd about it, just inject some argon in there.

Who is this disrupting??? Kuveé is working with partner vineyards, so it isn't the entire wine industry. Not really the wine bottle industry either. Hmm. Is it the fat cats in the wine cork industry?

Investor Dumbness Quotient (IDQ) Certified IDQ rating B. A robo wine bottle is dumb. Kuveé's Smart Bottle design doesn't even do much for freshness beyond hopeful optimism. Kuveé is also adding another layer of middlemanery to an industry literally bursting at the seams with mid-men. Who knows though, maybe they'll only lose half of their money.

Obligatory puff piece (OPP) Wired seems real excited about getting some fancy screw-top wine for the office.

Kuvee's smart bottle is like a Keurig, but for wine

The WiFi-connected device can be used with around 50 wines sold in refillable canisters, so it’s basically a Netflix recommendation engine for wine. When it launches in October, it will retail for $200 (just for the bottle, mind you), and refills are going to retail for $15 to $50.
