Looking for the perfect gift for the deskbound alcoholic in your life? This $15 USB plug-in is the ideal conduit between the Web and your liver. That is, it would be, were it more than another clever and slightly overpriced gag gift. Regularly priced at $45 according to CrunchGear, this dongle plugs into the USB ports on your PC, and through a bit of genius French engineering, delivers computer-warmed wine straight from your favorite boozed-themed Web site to your coffee-stained "World's Best Boss" mug.

The attached video is terrific, even for non-French speakers--in fact, something tells me that some of the wide-eyed enthusiasm would be diluted if the listener could actually understand what was being said. Still, there's a video involved, so clearly this product must be real, right? If so, box wine has just bravely entered the 21st century.

And yes, it is Mac compatible.
