Think modern technology cannot make your drinking experience a little more memorable? What's on checks out some cool devices that can change the way you drink!

Many, many moons ago, when my uncle and aunt were celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary, my uncle decided to uncork the bubbly. He dusted off an ancient bottle of red wine that he had bought many moons ago (I know I'm repeating myself, but I'm not drunk) and hunted for a corkscrew opener that he had bought many moons ago (I know I'm repeating myself, but I'm not drunk).u00a0

He didn't find it, so he had to make do with a small corkscrew opener that came with his folding knife. Now, using one of these portable devices is a bit like trying to douse the flames of Mount Vesuvius with a fire extinguisher and it was quite some time before my uncle got the cork out.u00a0

If we had the Web in those days the incident happened in the early 90s then we could have bought something like the digital Web opener featured here, but since we didn't, we didn't ((I know I'm repeating myself, but I'm not drunk). Since I don't drink these days (or, to put it another way, I have risen from bar level to sambar level) these toys don't mean much to me, but you can always consider some of them.u00a0

Store it right: Not many of us can keep stuff in cellars, but that is where technology comes to the rescue with the iCellar. This mini cellar can hold a dozen bottles and stores your wine at a temperature of around 15u00b0C. ($229/Rs 10,912)u00a0

One for the road: Afraid you will drink and drive? This device could be the one for you. It is so foolproof that judges in courts in Texas have actually asked drivers caught drinking and driving to install it in their cars. This device knows your photograph and connects with the ignition and allows you to turn on the car only if you pass the breath test. Unfortunately, we don't have any news on pricing.u00a0 How do you like the new new mid-day.com experience? Share your feedback and help us improve.
