Quote:Magical Device Produces a Constant Supply of Wine

Daniel Attinger, a professor of mechanical at engineering at Iowa State University, is working on developing a tiny device that produces a continuous supply of wine. Bless you, Daniel Attinger.

Attinger, along with a team of researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, a Swiss research institute, hopes the micro-winery will aid wine experts in advancing their knowledge of the fermentation process. Fermentation, as a press release from the EPFL explains, is highly important to the flavor profile of wine—different strains of yeast produce different notes.

Attinger’s device is intended to help winemakers play with various fermentation processes. Its theoretical benefit comes in its speed and size—it’s able to continuously produce about one milliliter of wine per hour. (Regular fermentation processes can take roughly two weeks.)

It works like this:

The device has a main channel through which the grape juice winds its way. The yeast is placed in adjacent compartments and feeds into the main channel through a very thin membrane with holes called nanopores. It’s almost as if they were in little tea bags. When the grape juice reaches the yeasts, they absorb the sugar and give off alcohol and CO2 through the membrane. This process takes place very quickly, since the sugar and yeast are confined in such a small space.
Philippe Renaud, the head of EFPL’s microsystems laboratory, noted that the magical contraption could be used for home brewing, but added, “that’s more of a gimmick. It uses a simplified process and the result is currently not as good as normal wine.”

Whatever, dude. Let me have my endless supply of wine. (No, seriously. Can I get one? I will pay for shipping. Please, let me have this.)

Well, that certainly sounds promising, doesn't it?

Watch your words, Constant vs Unlimited
If we run out of grapes and berries, there wouldn't be any wine for the micro-winery to use.

Also cabernet sauvignon 4 lyfe

We in Serbia have thing called... Madness Factory.

The madness, that it is produced, is called Rakia. While also being distilled, it involves you, that you're doing it and your 4-5 friends around, as your helpers... and then, you do the stuff... if you stay enough sober. Big Grin

"Fabrika Ludila" is most accurate name though, Sasha.

Also, Jens. You'd just think only that your inside would melt. Besides the taste of plums. xd

edit: Also, nobody seem to remember, but Samarrans on Samarra were fermenting such thing which was called "Dragon Tears". Big Grin It's all on wiki page.

Additionally, the Serbian word "raka" means "bier" in English. Not German, but English, and not beer, but bier. An entirely different thing. Perhaps it has something to do with rakia and the odd coincidence that its addicts often end up in biers sooner than some would like.

I don't care. I still want a constant supply of it. Unlimited is even better, mais le vin ne me dérange pas. Santé! Pour l'ironie!
