WineM: An RFID-controlled wine rack

News.com reporting from Wired NextFest in LA - a four-day festival of cool inventions and cutting-edge technologies from the world's leading innovators - has captured a view of WineM, a prototype of an RFID-controlled wine rack that lets owners keep track of their wine collections in a unique way.

"The smart wine rack incorporates RFID tags (applied to each wine bottle), electronic readers (embedded in each wine rack slot) and LED lights to highlight bottles in their cubbies.

Owners can control the rack with a Flash-based application that illuminates bottles based on vintage, grape, region or price.

The company said it will start taking orders for the rack early next year for delivery in 2009."
