Wine-on-tap? Don't mind if I do! I tried freshTAP and here's my review

Wine bottles, the gift and the curse. Filled with the magical elixir that has been cherished since basically the beginning of time and yet always issues.  Although we are basically done with the pesky cork, there are still so many to choose from: the tragedy of wasted leftover wine, the storage space required, the yucky alcoholic like smell that lingers in the air and then of course the environmental impact of producing and recycling.

What to do, what to do. Well it’s 2015 and now that we are officially back to the future there is revolutionary news in the wine world.  Ok I’ll get to the point,  freshTAP has created premium wine-on-tap (pause and take a minute to allow your mind to enjoy childish thought’s like laying down and drinking from a magical wine fountain.)

I saw this fountain and drank from it so now obviously I have daily fantasies of kitchen reno’s and returning home after a long day to my own spout of love-juice.  Unfortunately, we live in a world where the powers that be have yet to grant us the gift of luxurious wine fountains at home, although they will soon as I plan on pleading them with the incentive that my creativity will be increased ten-fold there granting me the opportunity to make tons of taxable income for us to mutually enjoy.

So what do we want?  freshTAP!  When do we want it?  Now!  Why?  Because we Canadians want smarter, fresher and friendlier wine!

In the interim, you can try freshTAP right away, there are tons of restaurants with freshTAP systems installed all over the country and delicious food available by me which I can ship to you to enjoy after!
