How about a glass or two of Frankenstein wine?
Frankenstein wine is the name applied to wine made with genetically modified (GM) vines developed in such a way as to make them disease resistant, and modified yeast developed to control flavors.
Currently, certain winemakers in Western Europe are said to be conducting clandestine experiments with vines and yeasts that are genetically modified. In fact, scientists at the Genetic Plant Research Institute in Montpelier, in southern France, have already produced a genetically modified yeast that could influence wine's flavor by controlling its development.
