Chateau Pontet Canet have managed to create a stir with their Wine Bottle USB Drive. For $50 you get this 1Gb drive which comes pre-loaded wth a bunch of wine paraphenalia, including:

* Ringtones for your mobile
* Open Cellar, manage your wine cellar
* Bewineconnected Club
* Screensaver & Windows Desktop
* Wine Tasting by Michel ROLLAND
* Vademecum, a guide by Tastet & Lawton
* The 4 Seasons at Pontet-Canet, video

I’ll admit that it does look, rather cool, but its $50. And there are alternatives, and thats why we’re pleased to announce our partnership with USBWine.com, where for only 9.95 Euros (sorry, I cant find the euro sign) you can get this USB device allowing you to digitally download samples of the wines you want to try.

Really, the video speaks for itself (link to version with English subtitles here). Take that Star Trek replicator…
