Under the hood, the D-Vine utilizes RFID technology to read a chip placed on each 10cl bottle of wine.
Similar to owner a Keurig or Nespresso machine, owners must purchase the bottles separately, either by themselves or as part of a variety pack. From rosé and Saumurs to Pomerols and Bordeauxs, 10-Vins’ compatible wine list makes finding the perfect glass of wine an absolute breeze. Like pods for an automated coffee machine, the D-Vine requires owners use specially designed 10-centiliter bottles, which contain a particular wine of choice. However, a small French startup located at CES 2016’s Eureka Park looks to drastically change this perception and officially unveiled the D-Vine connected sommelier, a smart brewing system that’s essentially a Keurig for wine. In other words, patience is a virtue in the wine community.
Typically, this is done over several years with some blends of wine benefitting from decade-long aging processes.
Depending on the particular blend of vino, proper aging has the ability to drastically change a wine’s tasting notes, mouthfeel, and acidity.
