I shudder to think of the selection in these things. "Best Selling" wines to go with steak and seafood. Probably geared towards the AppleBee and Red Lobster crowd.

It's interesting to me that the machines are actually provided to the stores for free. The company reserves the right to sell advertising on the screens, apparently. And there is actual a real-live human being checking all the sales via the camera feed, I think.
