$500 seems rather excessive to me for something that is mainly presumably a peltier, H-Bridge and MCU along with a bluetooth chip.
I currently make beer, but if I was going to make wine, I'd instead look at sourcing good quality grapes, and just fermenting reasonably cool in a fridge rigged up to a PID.
On the topic of artificially aging wine this article is rather fascinating http://people.math.aau.dk/~cornean/index.html/ACwine.pdf where they use HV AC to apparently decrease the harshness of un-aged wine. Additionally if you did want to age wine you can get small oak barrels from ebay relatively cheaply.
Heh, for funs note how the circa 10 mg/L error bars drop off the free amino acid measurements in Table 3. Would've been embarrassing to have the effect barely bigger than the expected deviation...

It's priced on value to user, not component cost.
