Twitter is stomping grapes and opening minds.  The website where you send short messages to friends is making wine, but not to make money.

Twitter has teamed up with a California company that helps amateur wine makers turn grapes into wine.

Twitter already has its own label: Fledgling Wine.   From the vineyard to the wine cellar, follow each step in the wine making process on Twitter.

They'll make a pinor noir and a chardonnay.  If following the grapes gets you hooked, you can buy a bottle too.  Each will set you back $20.  A case costs $240.

$5 from every bottle goes to Room to Read .  It's a not for profit that encourages literacy for children around the world.  A case of wine buys 60 childrens' books.

If you order a bottle now though, you won't be able to enjoy it until next year.  Twitter's bottling the wine in 2010.
