»Talking wine label could soon be developed in Italy«
|
|||
 A "talking" wine label could soon tell consumers in Italy everything they want to know about a particular bottle - from its production history to the kind of food it should accompany.
"The idea is to bring the oenologist to the table so that each wine can explain itself in the first person," Daniele Barontini said, whose Tuscan company Modulgraf is putting the final touches on the product to be launched in November. "We envision our talking wine label in restaurants, wine stores and at vineyards that offer wine tasting," he said. The new "label" would consist of a chip implanted in the bottle that could be listened to with a small device about the size of a cigarette package in the wine shop or the restaurant. "It could tell you how to enjoy the wine, where it came from, everything you'd hear from a sommelier," Mr Barontini said. "You could even have music." posted by hungarian kid |

 Agent Zero: wine sucks...how about talking beer? "The beer you are currently drinking is 100% piss water! I am programmed to predict that you will be puking in approximately 2.53 hours and wondering where your life went wrong in a dingy, bar bathroom stall. Have a nice day!" posted by volonteshiva |

Hm, would these talking labels replace the written labels on the bottles that already provide all this information? If not it would seem a bit redundant. I wonder if it is the novelty of a talking label, or people getting lazy that would prompt this. I hope it is just because a talking label would be "fun". posted by Laraimaem |

Well, I believe it is mainly for wine tasting locales and not for production in market sales... at least not yet... Thus newbies can get questions about the wine answered from the bottle rather than peppering the "expert(s)" there w/ the same questions over and over again. posted by volonteshiva |

According to the article, all the information to be provided by these talking labels is already provided on the written labels. At least it is on any bottle worth driniking,

volonteshiva: Yes, BUT it will now be read to you by a snooty, French asshole! Why will it be a snooty, French asshole? These labels are from Italy! I'm sure the Italians have their fair share of snooty assholes, too!
Perhaps it will just be a snooty asshole from where the wine originates. posted by Laraimaem |

Perhaps it will just be a snooty asshole from where the wine originates. Ah, well...I guess that works, too.
