AH, this would expand to the broader concept of Portal Store Metabolic capacity, which would also include fermented malt beverages.
Yes, I like "Portalization", at least for the first phase, to say 8500 feet or so. And of course there would be deportalization, which would include additional beverages and and a minimal sequestration period in the aqueous flush and saponification module. Fries with that.
