Clothes line to be made from wine A team from the University of Western Australia have added a bacteria to red wine and managed to create a cotton-like fabric that can be used to make anything from dresses to t-shirts and swimwear. Although still in the early stages of development, this technique of making clothes from wine could one day become mainstream, at least according to the people who came up with the idea. Lead researcher Gary Cass says, "This project redefines the production of woven materials. By combining art and science knowledge and with a little inventiveness, the ultimate goal will be to produce a bacterial fermented seamless garment that forms without a single stitch." Still, it may be a long time before people will be wearing casual clothes made from Pinot Noir or Merlot. Australia - June 2012 MANDATORY CREDIT: Bewley Shaylor -
