Well This Is Something You Don’t See Every Day of the Day: 500 and one-thousand liter self-serve wine tanks have been popping up in supermarkets across France, and — regulations permitting — could make the trip across the pond within a year.

The cost-savings are passed on to the consumer in the form of low prices of 1.45 euros/liter (about $2/liter). She installed her first machine in June 2009 at the Cora supermarket in Dunkirk and now has them installed in eight supermarkets in France. The wines vary; one is a 2009 from the Rhone, technically a vin de pays méditerranée.

Unleaded please.
