– An Australian researcher has developed a “textile” from wine. If you leave wine in an open container a film develops on the surface. In a similar way the “Micro’be” textile is produced. It still has a few production and utilisations issues though: it smells bad and it has to be kept wet so as not to crack (that though, some might argue, is perhaps an advantage). “Wine ware” has already had it’s premiere on the Paris catwalk. bioalloy.org and cnn.com
