My buddy just texted me and told me to watch this one. I guess I missed it before, but really cool concept. I’d be interested to see where they are now.

QOTD: I have no clue, 42 or 3,256.

Really cool episode. Thats wild and something I never would have thought of. Really nice guy, too. I like the concept and if wines of higher quality were produced thats an idea that could skyrocket. Love the cameo by Sahsa, too. WE NEED MORE SASHA!! QOTD: 2,621,873.

Ok, I came late to this party. So what’s the answer? How many wine kegs are sold in Italy per year?

I agree with Kristen. The theme song was great but it was too long. That may not be what the song-writer wants to hear, but if you want to use it for the show…it needs to be shorter. Great song tho, but just too long for a vodcast.

QOTD: 1,000,000? Any chance we can get a follow-up from Gary with the correct answer?

I like the concept. Sunday evenings are reserved for dinner with the family, all 15-18 at the same table. I would try the kegs if the quality wines were inside. Sounds like a great idea.

This is amazing technology, I’d love to hear more about them. Have them on again. I can’t believe no one else thought of doing this. Have them on again and I want to find out how I can get some of this wine.

QOTD: 250,000 kegs per year in Italy?

My husband and I got a kick out of that every time you had to swirl you put your glass on the table.
That is a DS, deliberate swirler, with a little practice you should be able to do it in the air.

Wine Kegs…..hmmmm interesting. A huge factor of an average consumer who drinks wine is the perceived value, the packaging plays a huge part, hopefully shows like this are changing that! Environmentally these kegs are great!!!!

QOTD: 100,000 kegs anually

QOTD: No Idea.

But what about a limited release of Vayniac Cab in kegs? Would make great prizes or charity auction items!!!

I would so buy a $15-20 level wine in a keg. I drink wine every night so this would last about 3 months for me. Why aren’t restaurants eating this up?

Good show once again. Maybe you should try using a little mike for the outdoor shoots though – the background noise was a little much. I was very impressed by the environmental angle on these at the end. Many places don’t recycle green or brown glass, and saving 15 bottles and all the enviro impacts associated with them could make a significant difference for a restaurant which might go through one or two of these a week.

I agree with some of the notes below that it might be cool to do a smaller one, ala boxed wine, although I wonder how that would affect cost structure

I would defintely try that out if I saw it at a bar or restaurant, great episode (although I’m not sure why you filmed in a parking lot??)

QOTD: no freaking clue.

Now THIS is RADOOL! Awesome concept.

QOTD: 20,000

I think it’s very sustainable. I dream of the day that this system is sold in Panama. I’d be a customer for sure. Thanks for showing us this innovation. QOTD: No idea, but must be a lot.

QOTD: Just a guess…since the population is 60 some odd million…I would say that somewhere around 20 million kegs are sold annually in Italy. But that’s honestly just a guess.
