Reading the wine label with your camera phone

File under something wonderful.

KTF, South Korea's second largest wireless provider, will soon launch a Mobile Sommelier service enabling mobile users to retrieve information about the wine they are drinking, by reading the label with their camera phone.

Users can get information about wine variety, well-matched food, history and on going marketing events with the wine.

KTF plans on putting hot codes and hot numbers on 700 types of wines in big marts or wine bars, by the latter half of this year."
