Fast Track to Fine Wine?

wombatmobile writes "Hiroshi Tanaka, president of Innovative Design and Technology, claims to have perfected a machine that can transform a bottle of just-fermented Beaujolais Nouveau into a fine, mellow wine in seconds. From the article: 'The road, however, won't be an easy one: the company has brought the machine around to Japanese wine producers, restaurants and even sake rice wine and "shochu" sweet potato spirit distillers, but so far only a small shochu maker in southern Japan has agreed to get involved.'

    apparently you've never heard of whinoeshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whinoes.

    hey sure for your $20,000 bottle of wine you'll never see this stuff used, but for that $2-$5 bottle? very doable.
