What do we call Twitter + Wine = TWINE.

Thats right guys the big social media network is jumping into the wine business.  Actually they are starting this new venture aimed solely at raising money for literacy.

The project began after a few Twitter employees became involved with Crushpad, a facility that allows winos to create their own barrels of wine without having to own a vineyard.

Pretty interesting stuff!

Crushpad, which like Twitter and Room to Read is based in San Francisco, provides all the essentials: grapes, equipment, expertise, storage and bottling. Clients can be as involved as they choose to, having the ability to check in on their wines physically or through internet messages and videos.

Fledgling, the name of the wine, was launched yesterday both online and on Twitter.  For $20 a bottle, wine lovers and twitter junkies can choose between a California Chardonnay or Pinot Noir.

What do you think about this… will you buy a Twine?
