(Wine Spectator) - A new video of the robot in action! Plus, blue wine washes up in France, and Kelly Clarkson defends red wine in Twitter take

Yanu, a new drink-mixing automaton friend from Estonia, won't try to drink your Champagne, unlike some other boozebots—instead, it'll serve you that glass of bubbly with a smile little to no outward expression, just like Eastern European human bartenders! 

After two years of R&D, Tallinn-based company Robolab unveiled video this week of a working prototype of the robot bartender, a disembodied cybernetic arm inside a kiosk that the company claims will make drink service quicker and easier at highly trafficked public hubs like airports, concerts, sports venues, bars and nightclubs. Yanu can whip up a drink in half a minute, work a full 24-hour shift without any refills needed and, using AI technology, even crack the occasional joke or suggest a cocktail to try, to distract patrons from the reality that they are still technically drinking alone.
