An upcoming technology could change the way you look at wine, and how fast you get to drink it. No, this isn't heretical, and it sure isn't a shot at religion. But according to the Huffington Post, the Miracle Machine looks to make water into wine in a slightly more scientific method than is described on the bottle.
The company hopes to produce a countertop fermenter, in which by adding water, a grape concentrate, some yeast, and some additional adjuncts to add some zestier flavors, the consumer will be able to make wine for a fraction of the store cost. The Miracle Machine will also feature an app that will guide you step-by-step through the process, and sync up with your machine to tell you how your homemade vino is coming along.
The device is hoping to get a kickstarter up and running soon, but seems to be looking at a starting cost of $499 for the basic appliance. This also doesn't speak of the cost of the concentrates and additional flavors you would have to add in order to actually get the wine up and running.
The company believes that this product will produce wine that is about the same flavor quality as a $20 bottle, and is certainly disregarding traditional wine making for a newer, more tech savvy approach. The current model will have options for additions toward the end of the wine making process that can give your wine that aged flavor. The companies' two founders, Kevin Boyer and Philip James, believe that this device will revolutionize wine again. And you don't have to be deified to use it.
