Of vines and wines

Idea: I recently went wine tasting and I was amazed at the skill, effort and experience it takes to produce a quality wine. I thoroughly enjoyed tour of the vineyard including how vines are grown on a commercial scale; history of the vineyard; art of winemaking and the history of the estate. The tour of the winery included the winemakers art, select tank tastings and current vintage tastings, and needless to say I ended up buying a bunch of wine bottles for home. I was about to open one of those bottles when it occurred to me: what if we could create the same magic which we experience at the vineyards at the home as well? Wine bottles could come with a DVD when played could guide us through the vineyards along with background music from the place of origin, explain us the finesse of the wine making process, introduce us to the wine-makers, and provide suggestions for what wines went with what foods.

Reward
: Recreate the magic of wine tasting on your dinner table.

Bonus: The DVD could also include information for the consumers to plan a scenic tour to the vineyards. The sponsorship of these commercials could pay for the DVD.

I recently purchased a wine tasting kit and found that with this kit I was able to stay focused on what to look for in each tasting. The tasting sheets helped me tremendously when there were characteristics present that I couldn't identify. The book inside was quite easy-to-read and flip through. Of course, DVD along with the music as you suggest would definitely be better.

Wouldn't it be so much better if we got the dvds without buying the wine? maybe a wine library where you can view these dvds and then figure out which you would like to buy! Much better than ending up with a wine you don't like the taste or history of.

But then, tasting is believing! The DVDs could very well misguide you using excellent marketing skills to buy a bottle of wine you would never drink ever again. But hey, you run the same risk buying a totally random wine kit. Chicken and egg problem?
