This is fresh from the too-good-to-be true department: A financier is looking for investors (and will be on Kickstarter) for a device that turns water (and grape concentrate and yeast) into wine. As you probably could have guessed, he uses a lot of Jesus imagery and calls the device the Miracle Machine. He also says that for $2 or so, it’ll make $20-a-bottle-quality wine. Uh huh. While I have no doubt the Miracle Machine will probably be able to make something vaguely grapey, I’m predicting it’ll taste more like pruno than J Lohr. The guy behind it is Philip James, who started Lot 18, the wine and gourmet retail site, which he raised a ton of money to start and then left when it started to tank.
