The Grotto WineBar is a must-have for any serious wine collector or anyone interested in creating his or her own home wine bar. As the only commercial-type wine preservation and dispenser unit meant specifically for the crib, the WineBar controls temperatures down to 45 degrees, keeps uncorked bottles fresh for up to 60 days, and provides three serving options (taste, half and full glass). Storage and pouring options on this residential wine machine are controlled via LCD screens and a touch control panel, allowing you to manage everything from varietals, vintage, temperature settings, and pouring size volumes.

The WineBar holds four bottles, although its modular design allows you to connect it with additional WineBar units to increase your bottle capacity. We’ve seen them hooked up in different stations arranged to create the ultimate self-serve wine bar experience. By itself the Grotto WineBar retails for $5,000 with the pictured cabinet sold separately. If the cabinet above isn’t your style, the black and stainless steel finished wine machine is will fit in most standard 24″ cabinet units. Follow the jump for another picture and the product link.

The Bierstick is a giant beer syringe that takes the concept of the beer bong to the next level, letting the drinker or another person control the speed at which the beer hits the throat. If you’ve got some skills, the Bierstick lets you down up to 24 ounces in less than two seconds. And if you can keep yourself from gagging, we think the Bierstick could be an awesome way to drink underwater, or just any time you’re looking to get to get a pregame in quickly. Priced at $20, the Bierstick is an inexpensive novelty that makes a cool addition to any bar, dorm room, or trunk. Follow the jump to see how the Bierstick works.

French design student Baptiste Mathieu’s concept for the Veuve Clicquot Night Clubber brings the look and feel of a flask to the world of high-end Champagne. The Night Clubber package comes with a personal bottle of Veuve Clicquot, as well as a glass drinking tube covered in perforated leather. An LED light at the bottom of the glass tube makes the Champagne shine through the perforations, and a polished aluminum cap that screws on to the top of the bottle lets keeps your leftover Champagne fresh.

Valued at $400, the Night Clubber will have to drop substantially in price before we could justify making the purchase. We can see this concept blowing up around New Years, however, if Mathieu can find a manufacturer. One more image after the jump.

Celebrity photographer David LaChapelle is well known for dressing down his subjects for sexy and semi-surreal photo shoots. But in the case of his new Remy Martin VSOP Cognac bottle design, he’s gone the opposite direction, fully covering the bottle and its accompanying box with an exotic Jazz Age meets the jungle theme. While 150,000 bottles will be made, not exactly a limited release, the new LaChappelle Cognac bottle is sure to craw some more attention to your bar. And for $50 it shouldn’t break the bank.
