Wow! Great idea! The glass bottle with cork is what, AD1650 technology? It is great to see someone applying modern tech to wine. Stainless steel and nitrogen is a no brainer! I would love to buy a keg say 1/2 that size, maybe 6 bottles? with 89-91 point wines in it and use it as my house wine. Biggest problem for a regular wine drinker is what to do with the 1/2 bottle left over every night(assuming you don’t want to get smashed every single night!) I use argon gas, but am never quite happy with the results. Great concept! Scale down the container and upgrade the wine and I say you will sell thousands of kegs.

Velly, velly interesting; the concept is really cool, man i’m excited as i picture doing some wine kegging at family parties and stuff. i think for really super high quality wines that i want to sit down and savor–obviously a keg wouldn’t be the choice, but aside from that, for toting a keg of vino to a game or party–Rad! QOTD: figuring there are thousands of little trattorias and osterias in Italy, each with their own little keg of wine…probably at least 500,000.

Thank you for educating us on wine kegs. I never heard of them before. QOTD – I have no idea, but it must be high for it to be the QOTD. So I will guess 1 million per year.

Wine kegs and the keg mentality represent everything the wine drinking experience should elevate us from, the mass market commodity mindset in which the U.S. is so so mired. The notion of a wine keg brings to mind the “tanker truck of plonk” from Sideways pulling up in front of one’s house and dispensing a river of cheap swill.

I LOVED THAT! I can’t understand why restaurants wouldn’t jump all over that more. I would seriously consider using it for parties. I couldn’t quite see how to get one here. The Bottle Barn site isn’t very informative.

i love the concept. Agreed that the long window of drinkability is perfectly suited for neighborhood bars and any restaurant. It is so frustrating when I go to a local bar with friends and their wine by the glass is Fetzer (at $7 a glass at that!!!)

I would probably not buy it for my personal consumption in the home b/c I like to change things up a bit but would consider it for a party. We have downed 15 bottles at our poker parties in the past and a wine keg would be an interesting conversation piece as well.

Thanks for the education, GV! Awesome job as always.

Interesting concept, kegs of wine. As an individual, I would get bored with that much of one wine for personal drinking…now a party or something it would work.

QOTD: No idea.

Interesting show. I did a spit take when Gary brought up Mark Lemke. Priceless!

Cool technology!

Awesome walk-by and scene-stealing (from his vehicle, no less!) by Sasha!

QOTD: Because he asked the question, it has to be a lot. 2-3 million, maybe?

Thats a kick ass keg. I have to wonder if the Nitrogen tank is running it up on cost. Eather way, I drink enough wine to get one, if only I could pick/make a house wine to store in it.

You need to link up the company that handles those kegs, they would be great for home wine/beer makers.

We have a MAS Vino keg on our counter at home here in California–the wine is great, goes well with many types of dinners, and it’s a awesome for entertaining a group! Many friends have enjoyed a glass of vino from the keg!

The environmental edge on this product is terrific–it’s nice to see any company out there making an effort to reduce energy and packaging materials going into production…not to mention actually reusing the packaging itself! Mas is awesome!

Very interesting…again you are showing us the way of the future! Can see getting one for a party or tail gate!!!

It’s TURE: “Most wines will open up dramatically more as they open!” Sorry GVee, I couldn’t let it go,it was so funny! Thanks for bringing us something new … I await better wines available this way in the future, and hopefully some competition. Thanks dude!

Sorry I can’t relate to the keg. I like the entrepreneurial spirit but…come on… it’s not sustainable!
qotd: No idea but it would fill a lake I imagine.

Pretty cool, as mentioned, great for parties,especially if the quality of the wine used improves.
