Snooth partners with USBWine to offer wine downloads
posted by philip in Wine Industry
Chateau Pontet Canet have managed to create a stir with their Wine Bottle USB Drive. For $50 you get this 1Gb drive which comes pre-loaded wth a bunch of wine paraphenalia, including:
- Ringtones for your mobile
- Open Cellar, manage your wine cellar
- Bewineconnected Club
- Screensaver & Windows Desktop
- Wine Tasting by Michel ROLLAND
- Vademecum, a guide by Tastet & Lawton
- The 4 Seasons at Pontet-Canet, video
I’ll admit that it does look, rather cool, but its $50. And there are alternatives, and thats why we’re pleased to announce our partnership with USBWine.com, where for only 9.95 Euros (sorry, I cant find the euro sign) you can get this USB device allowing you to digitally download samples of the wines you want to try.
Really, the video speaks for itself (link to version with English subtitles here). Take that Star Trek replicator…
Saw this Open Cellar software which seems to be on this. Went to the website (where even the English seems to be french). It looks like a good open source wine software. Does it automatically talk to Snooth? Would be great if it did!
Lrossouw - I’d not come across it before yesterday. We dont have anything specifically written to communicate with this platform, but we’re able to import pretty much any notes / files and get a users data onto the site. If you have stuff you want imported, but ping me. Thanks
