  Usually the intuition from condensed-matter physics is used to provide ideas
for possible confinement mechanisms in gauge theories. Today, with a clear but
puzzling ``spaghetti'' confinement pattern, arising after a decade of lattice
computer experiments, which implies formation of a fluctuating net of peculiar
magnetic vortices rather than condensation of the homogeneously distributed
magnetic monopoles, the time is coming to reverse the logic and search for
similar patterns in condensed matter systems. The main thing to look for in a
condensed matter setup is the simultaneous existence of narrow tubes
($P$-vortices or 1-branes) of direction-changing electric field and broader
tubes (Abrikosov lines) of magnetic field, a pattern dual to the one,
presumably underlying confinement in gluodynamics. As a possible place for this
search we suggest systems with coexisting charge-density waves and
superconductivity.
