Swipe your driver's license, look into the camera, blow into the breath sensor and - voila! - you have permission to buy a bottle of wine from a vending machine.
Pennsylvania, which has some of the most Byzantine liquor laws in the nation, recently introduced the country's first wine "kiosks." If the machines are successful in their test run inside two grocery stores, the state Liquor Control Board could place the high-tech alcohol automats in about 100 others.

For a truly romantic vending machine experience, right beside it is the condom vending machine, which requires a more complicated blow sensor.

The Wegman's in Silver Spring is one of the two test sites for PA's wine kiosks. I was shopping there the day they started using it and so I had to try it out. The guy in front of me gets done and says, "I don't even need any wine. I just had to try the machine." To which I replied, "Me too." It was an interesting experience. Wine in a PA grocery store, but the State maintains control.
