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.'

    Only problem is that drinkers must be accelerated to relativistic speeds to be effective. Innovative Design and Technology is currently looking for funding to clear this final, minor hurtle to the process.

    If they ever come up with a way to turn fine British beer into Budwiser I'll let you know.

    It's quite simple: drink the British, and piss into a Bud bottle.

    Artificial, natural, they're both the same physically. But the difference is human and intangible.

    With a DeBeers diamond, an African child may well have died a result of its production. That's the human touch, and that's why people should be more impressed by a genuine natural diamond.
