Programming the decanter's timer.<br />
<br />
This futuristic decanter is sending waves through the wine world - because it promises to transform cheap plonk into a much better and more expensive drink in a matter of minutes.<br />
<br />
The Sonic Decanter uses ultrasound to 'age' bargain bottles by altering the compounds in the wine to make it more drinkable.<br />
<br />
Its makers say the high frequency sound waves improve flavour by breaking down preservatives, softening tannins and releasing aromas not normally found in young wine.<br />
<br />
The launch of the Sonic Decanter is planned for June next year and it will cost buyers $249 - around £150.
