Poll: Automated Wine Tasting — Love It Or Hate It?
In a fit of curiosity (and market research) we’ve been exploring various options for pouring wine for customers. This is hypothetical, of course, since we’re purely clicks at this point, not clicks and bricks. However, this hasn’t quelled our interest in exploring this topic.
Personally, we’re intrigued by their efficiency, and the sleek Jetsons-like look of the Enomatic dispensers that provide 1oz pours to customers without a smidgen of human interaction; but we think taking away personal communication customers leaves a lot to be desired. And, less rational, we’re also skeptical of the argon preservation system…no matter how neutral we’re told it is, we still have a psychological block against the stuff, and are convinced we can taste a chemical layer on our wine when we know it’s been gassed. Yes, we know that’s totally irrational and wrong.
Now we’d like to hear what you think about the Enomatic systems and similar automated wine-pouring devices?
