Here's a weird one to bust out at your next dinner party: A new machine says it can make your wine taste better by blasting it with sonic energy. The Sonic Decanter recently reached its $85,000 goal on Kickstarter, with over 700 investors jumping in to support the project. (There are still a couple of days left for others to nudge their way in for a discounted rate on the product.) It purports to use ultrasound energy to change the molecular properties of non-carbonated red and white whites, making the drink "smoother" and more flavorful. Wine connoisseurs may wonder how this provides benefits beyond a normal decanting process, which involves pouring wine into a separate bottle to remove sediment.
