Hi guys, LG WRman Sherlock here,
This will be the space for LG World Record news. It could be about anything related to LG and its products so feel free to post and discuss anything you like![Big Grin :D :D](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png)
Here's a great news for wine enthusiast. LG has just created probably the first smart wine fridge that can scan the bottle's label and give you relevant data on the wine.
LG patents smart kiosk for wine cellars, creates a sommelier's best friend
That LG would make a wine refrigerator should come as no shock. This is, after all, the same company that made a smartphone-controlled oven. But, as a recently surfaced patent can attest, it appears the Korean electronics giant may have more than cooling soured grapes on its mind. The USPTO filing, which dates back to December of 2009, describes a ""mobile terminal"" (think: portable kiosk) outfitted with a camera that's capable of scanning wine labels, matching them to a database and then delivering any relevant data. Sounds like a handy tool for those one-percenters with an ever-expanding cellar or, more practically, to help professional boozehounds sommeliers at highfalutin restaurants keep their inventory in order. Whatever the case, we're pretty sure Jack Donaghy approves. Hit up the source below to sift through the legalese for yourself.
