Perpetual Wine Calendar?

Perpetual calendars are cool things--but a perpetual wine vintage calendar? Now that is a VERY cool thing! 

If you are like me, you have tried over the years (without much success) to understand the logic of allowing certain wines to age and drinking other wines sooner rather than later. Well, look at this curious little thing I found in Provence. 

It is a perpetual calendar that organizes the main wines of France, by region and color, and then by year according to when each should be "conserved", "enjoyed" and "already have been drunk". All in french, of course. 

Just spin the dial and open the proper bottle--Cheers!
