One same cup of wine offers totally different taste, smell, and even color, if it is activated by different wattages and duration of exposure to microwave, that’s rightly the short description of the ‘Nano Wine’. Based on the principles of nano encapsulation, the drink is actually composed of millions of molecule-sized flavor capsules in it, which can be activated by microwave to release different flavors of particles, so as to endow the wine with different tastes and looks. The product is a part of “Next Nature” studio’s “Nano Supermarket”, a storefront of speculative nanotech products capable of being mass produced within the next ten years.
