The Albi Home M was unveiled by Albicchiere as a consumer-level appliance at CES 2020 to help avid wine enthusiasts optimize their favorite libations. The appliance is made in Italy and works by having wine stored inside to keep it ready for consumption for up to six months. This will allow users to enjoy single glasses of wine instead of having to drink an entire bottle once it has been opened.
The Albi Home M features a compact design to make it applicable for placement on any countertop and ensure it doesn't interfere with existing solutions. Users can customize the unit through the accompanying app or even take advantage of support for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to dispense wine using only their voice.
