An alcohol company’s crowdfunding campaign for its wine dispenser startup raised an impressive $100,000 in just 15 hours.
In less than a day, Somm by SYNEK — a new wine dispenser startup — exceeded its $100,000 goal, as funding continues even further, Eater reported. The fascinating countertop dispenser "learns" the preferences of drinkers over time, according to startup founder Steve Young.
Not unlike a Keurig coffee-maker, Somm uses a vessel to hold up to three bottles of wine at one time and leaves the wine almost perfectly preserved. Young told Eater that the vessels, called "sylos," can fit in a standard wine rack and are eco-friendly.
The sylos reportedly work with the machine to chill and aerate the wine bottles, and consumers can log their drink choices on a corresponding smartphone app that orders more wine when it starts to run out.
Somm is looking at a Christmas 2016 launch, and will retail for $299.
Wine drinkers, rejoice!
