California's Peltier Station Winery, however, discovered (or should I say invented?) a loophole: they called their new dessert wine "USB" and put a tree with USB roots on the label. And that's just the beginning of the geekery.

The label maker, 6 West Design, also reveals that the USB-tree on the front is composed of binary code that translates to "Peltier Station." And in case you still don't get the pun, there are several fill-in-the-blanks on the back label like "an im____ant agreement" or "in your ____folio." So cheers to "Peltier Stanton" for sticking it to the EU in the geekiest way possible while still getting us drunk with our cigars. But can we plug in a cooling USA USB fan for the hangover the next day? This is American wine after all. [Peltier Station via TheDieline via Wired]

It's available in three colors, inner-city tap, wine, and orange. We're not sure exactly how it works, but it seems like the thing actually holds a little bit of wine that will come out when you turn the tap. It's only 10 euros, but 10 euros can get you a lot of stuff, most of which don't wear out its welcome within a day. Oh, and apparently there's no Linux support suckas! [USBWine via Idiot Toys]
