Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Over the last few years, interest in home brewing has been steadily growing. That great for the beer fans out there, but what's the wine drinker to do when they catch the DIY bug? Up until now, they haven't had many options. However the WinePod is hoping to change all that by allowing regular people to make wine right in their own homes. WinePod is the first-ever personal winery. It is a self–contained, computer–controlled unit that allows the amateur wine maker to create up to four cases of wine per fermentation (and up to 12 fermentations a year). The company provides the grapes, as well as all the tools you'll need to cask and bottle your vino. You get software to install on your computer that will walk you through the process and will assist you in avoiding any potential pitfalls.
It's a pricey gadget, starting at $4,499, but for the right wine enthusiast, it could be the perfect holiday gift.

Well, their selling point is that this seems to be all in one - you don't need to transfer liquids from various containers for the various stages of fermentation, for example. It seems to the equivalent of a breadmaker for wine - throw in all the ingredients, and flip a switch.
Problem is, I can't actually find anything on that website that shows how it works. There's a couple of testimonial videos, but it's just people talking with this thing as a prop for them to lean on. That's somewhat sketchy to me...
