“Poor Wine”

Pennsylvania is testing wine vending machines that require an ID and breathalyzer test in order to make a purchase. By implementing the vending machines, the state’s main goal is to slap the pretentiousness out of wine-drinkers.

The top row of wines will be exclusively for alcoholics. When the machine dispenses the wine, the coil rolls, and then the glass bottle falls and breaks at the bottom, preventing the alcoholic from drinking.

The vending machine is so sophisticated; it can take your ID, test your breath for alcohol, and then keep your change as a ‘tip.’

The machine does not provide glasses, the assumption being anyone buying wine from a vending machine will just be drinking from the bottle held in a paper bag.
