    I forgot to say what a great idea this is for restaurants and wine bars….100 taps all sold by the glass what a great way to expand the palate…the first place to do this right is going to kill.

  • Melissa J UC Davis

    Oh my god, I WILL have these at my wedding!

  • JD

    QOTD: One million!?!

    Love the concept of the wine kegs… like you said though, the quality needs to get better.

  • JudeMurphy

    I love this idea! And I think it will work in homes too, because it’s a great way of just having a glass a day (good for the heart!) without going through bottles.

    QOTD- Italy’s population is about 60 million, so I’m guessing… ’bout 60 million!
    Or, realistically… probably not many. Could be just like 1000. Or I could be wrong… maybe 10,000?

    Gary! More Barolo! ; ) I wanna hear more about Barolo!

    And I want you to get yer arse up to Dublin and show all the Guinness swiggin’ eejits what drinking’s really about! ; )

  • Top 25…Woo Hoo!

  • GrapeStuff

    Great opening song and great ep! That really is changing the wine world. And I think you nailed one of the marketing angles GV, environmentally friendly packaging all the way!!

    QOTD: 1 million

    QOTD: 1 million

  • The idea’s fine and all, but do it without the salesperson alongside. He REALLY took away from the whole thing. After watching you taste so many wines, I think viewers have a pretty good idea of how you react to wines you don’t like… these were in that ballpark.

  • QOTD: 1719 kegs, because the show seems like the end was randomly padded to get to 17:19.

    I think those would be SERIOUSLY good business for restaurants, especially with being able to turn in the kegs for re-use. Very cool technology, and a nice guy to boot.

    QOTD: I’d say about 800,000 kegs/year. Total guess. 🙂

  • Dr T from N. Carolina

    I would really love to see local wineries have this product available for parties!

    What’s with the hating in the comments? Really enjoyed the show, regardless of the wine in the thing, its interesting to see another option out there. It’d be a great draw at a bar or restaurant for a house wine, especially if the price point came down a little–but new ideas are always a little more expensive at first.

    Don’t kill on the sales guy.. and I’m going to pass on the QOTD because I read enough comments to know the answer ..

    Great Show,
    QOTD: I’m gonna guess, ummmmm, 3.5 million!

    Speaking of interesting packaging concepts, A friend sent me this link on a label that tears off easily and a single taste size wine container…

    GV, check them out!

    QOTD: Half a million

    Cool concept, if I ever open a bar, that would be something that would make sense to me.

  • Roberto

    wow… really a great idea… I can see wine bars with 10 or 15 of those behind the counter and good wine being served like that… and by the way, Gary you must admit that wine is probably better than the house wine at 80% of chain restaurants today… I mean have you tried the House Chianti anywhere in the US? awful stuff…

    QOTD: I lived in Italy and frankly, never saw one, ever. Not one. So I’m gonna guess about 500…

    QOTD: 0. No doubt about it!

    Nice concept, but I think drinking same wine for 60 days is torture.

    Why would restaurants use anything else for their wines by the glass? The product is cheaper b/c the packaging gets reused, and the wines stay fresh for months. I see a revolution happening if you could get a big ‘respectable’ value driven wine producer (cartlidge and browne for example) and pump out some highly respectable juice for around $4 a glass!

    QOTD: It’s either 0 or about 5 million

    But what was up with the long, boring outro?

  • BobbyTiger

    I will probably have no use for the keg of wine, as, 1} while I drink like a fish, I can’t possibly consume that much, and, 2] I don’t have any friends to help me drink it. Having said that……….cool concept. Wish I had such a thing when I was in college, then I wouldn’t have to go to the liquor store but once a week. Gary………(I say Gary)……………Is it always that L O U D in front of your store. Geeze… QOTD……..A whole lot!
