Temperature can make or break the taste of wine. Wine that is too cold can taste muted and dull, but if it’s too warm it can taste flabby and too alcoholic, according to Wine Enthusiast magazine.

A wine cooler can help you stabilize your bottle’s temperature to its desired level. You can get the Magic Chef 12-Bottle Countertop Wine Cooler for $94.99 at Amazon right now, a savings of over 16%.

The system would use a series of smartphone interaction measurements to figure out a passenger’s “user state.” The activity it would look at is: “data input accuracy, data input speed, interface interaction behavior, device angle, or walking speed.” It could also possibly take into account data about location, time of day, and other factors.
