Miracle Machine Turns Water into Wine

Winemaking is made easier and faster with this Miracle Machine that turns water into wine.

Traditional winemaking includes several mixing of ingredients and phases of extensive fermentation that can last from months up to a couple of decades.

However, with the new $499-Miracle Machine, one does not need to buy a winery or go through years of fermentation to produce a good-tasting wine. All that needs to be done is to stock up on a few ingredients, including the yeast and grape concentrate.

Once the Miracle Machine, the smartphone app, and all the ingredients are on hand, one can start making wine already.

To make the wine, the user has to add a pre-packaged kit of ingredients to the machine, which will be available in the startup's website or on Amazon; then choose among a selection of wine in the app he'd liked to make, L.A Times reported.

The winemaking will also go through the process of fermentation but at a faster rate. To have the machine's fermentation chamber working, the user needs to sync it with the smartphone app using a Wi-Fi connector Bluetooth. Once successfully connected, the machine's electronic sensors, heaters, pumps, and transducers, which hasten the flavoring of the wine, can start producing a controlled environment for the first and second stages of fermentation.

It also has a refractometer that measures the sugar content, and a ceramic air-diffuser that pumps filtered air to aerate the wine and soften tannins -- a chemical in the skin of a grape that gives wine its hue.

The soon-to-launch Miracle Machine was designed by wine experts Philip James and Kevin Boyer with the help of their friends in Silicon Valley.

Aside from the machine and the smartphone application, they also offer six different kits of ingredients that correspond to a certain type of wine. They have Burgundy's delicate red and white, Italy's aged Tuscan blend, Napa Valley's rich Chardonnay, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, Oregon's cool-climate Pinot Noir and Sonoma's Sauvignon Blanc.
