Fast Track to Fine Wine?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the no-the-other-wine dept.

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.'

    ...when it comes to fine, or even poor, wine. They still get a collective stiffie when Beaujolais Day comes around, and believe chilled is not an unusual way of serving normal non-Beaujolais reds.
