When I lived abroad, the washing machines were quite small and could
have fit in the bathroom of a U.S. home. As I recall, the way to hook
them up was simply to insert a hose pipe and turn the water on.
Amazingly, they cleaned satisfactorily.
Does anyone know what I mean. If so, does such a product exist in the
U.S.?

Sure. Check out your local appliance stores to find what you are looking
for.

I think what you should be looking at is a combo washer/dryer

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Yep. We lived in Germany for ten years in the 70s and 80s. Had one
of them, a front loading Seimans, in the kitchen of our apartment.
Very efficient, and it did a very good job on the clothes. The only
problem was that we had to do a load of laundry every couple of days
because it's small capacity. Still cheaper and more convenient
(convenience has value) than spending a day at the laundromat every
week.
Don't know if they're available in the States. Since we returned
we've always had space for full size appliances. There are small,
stackable washers and dryers made for apartment and condo dwellers.
My son had them installed in a hall closet of his apartment when he
was a bachelor. Probably not a good option for a family, but they did
the job for him.

There is a store near me that sells mostly appliances from China.
They have several sizes of Haier washer/dryers - all in one units.
The store is in Ontario, but I'm sure they must be available in the US
too.
LG makes a larger more expensive one.
I found this link after a quick google:

I remember a neighbour having an all in one US made model as a kid, it
actually rolled on wheels and could fit into a closet when not in
use.
