The End is Nigh

[SFJoe]

Met a guy this week who has a new BTG thingy that puts a rather thin-gauge needle through a cork and pushes wine out with Argon pressure. So the wine stays fresh, replaced with inert gas. He says the wine stays well sealed.

I bet this works pretty well, and I imagine it is a very good BTG solution.

I also bet that it would be easy to rig it so that you could drink your famous wines, refill them and resell them. Original foils, corks, the works, just a tiny hole.

Get your auction purchases made quickly, before these become popular.

The website will be here.

Jeez. On the other hand, I suppose this might lead to the development of new puncture-proof closures.

Why would a wax top be safe? Just apply the teensiest weensiest bit of warmth to it and the hole will close up.

Now, who was making those glass stoppers?

The promotional video suggests the pinholes are pretty clearly visible.
