The robot was designed to sit atop a counter, next to a wine rack. The target users were disabled or geriatrics, many of whom consider wine integral to their culture. Alas, due to financial constraints, this robot never came to be - but we share the idea with the cloud in the hopes that it may one day come to fruition.
