Color me gobsmacked

Internet-connected wine bottle startup Kuvée is shutting down

The Verge

The system, which The Verge tested (and called gloriously dumb) in March 2016, is basically a sleeve with a touchscreen that fits over proprietary wine cartridges. Once a cartridge is put into the sleeve, the touchscreen displays information about the wine, like the grape it's made from and pairing notes.

Seriously, this John Bolton thing is pretty scary and we, as a civilization, are going to need as many internet-connected wine bottles as we can get just to survive, let alone to, you know, pair.
