When the wine is in fashion


 Tired of the usual dressed all alike? If you cannot own more of the classic and standardized t-shirt and clothing,  from today there is the clothing done with the wine. Yes, you have understood correctly. A dress, a shirt, a skirt, trousers, therefore any article of clothing that you want made with wine.

The fabric is obtained by a fermentation process similar to that used for the production of alcoholic beverages, and specifically, we have to thank the acetic acid bacteria, the bacteria responsible for the transformation of the wine in vinegar. The acetic acid bacteria are usually used for fermentation and the production of vinegar from natural products such as cereals, fruit and honey or alcohol products, such as, precisely, the wine. The acetic acid bacteria are also responsible for the acidification of specialty beers, such as Flemish red ale.
The precious acetic acid bacteria are also capable of producing cellulose fiber similar to cotton fibers. The discovery was made by a group of researchers from the Western Australian University which renamed this interesting discovery "Micro'be".

In practice, the acetic acid bacteria ferment the wine and create the microfibers which float on the surface. These microfibers are then extracted and shaped on the body of the person.
The range of colors available is currently limited and includes the color red, if you use red wines, and a semi-transparent color if you use beer or white wine.
The result is a bit 'scary, like Lady Gaga with the garment of flesh, but the idea is good and interesting to be developed. We have only to buy our favorite wine at the supermarket or in the family wine shop to create our tailor-made suit. Who knows if they have intoxicating effects!
