Tesco used Surface at one of its Wine Club fairs last year, combining the touchscreen tech with an application developed by EMC Conchango.
The wine glasses are placed on coasters with 'domino tags' on the underside. By reading the tags, Surface can recognise which wine is on which coaster.
Tasters can select the characteristics of the particular wine they are drinking from the options in the centre, and rate it by moving their finger around the score slider next to the coaster.

Is it me, or is the only real advantage of this technology that it's easier to keep clean than a keyboard and mouse?
I don't mean to be a luddite about this but i can't see anything that a touchscreen allows you to do that you couldn't do more accurately with a mouse. Suggestions?
