As it turned out, turning water into wine in three days, even with the addition of a sachet of ingredients, is still beyond the power of mere mortals. The authors of the worldwide draw pursued the opposite goal: to turn wine into water. Plenty of water.
Many of you will probably remember the post about the Miracle Machine supposedly turning water into wine in three days. The "miraculous" transformation clearly hinted at the famous biblical miracle performed by Jesus Christ. This alone should have raised some suspicion.
But everything looked too convincing: beautiful photos and a professional video, which explained in detail the process of making wine, an excellent website where you could order an original device for $ 499.
As a result, hundreds of well-known media outlets around the world (including us) bought information about the Miracle Machine, publishing articles about an unusual device, and 7000 readers even expressed their desire to purchase the Miracle Machine.
Alas, there are no miracles. The miracle machine turned out to be a brilliant joke, so well prepared that thousands of people fell for it. But who needed to invest huge amounts of money for the joke of the month?
Kevin Boyer and Philip James? real and very famous personalities among winemakers. By organizing this joke, they certainly did not jeopardize their reputation in order to laugh at the media and their readers.
Their purpose? turn wine into water. Plenty of water.
The thing is, Boyer and James work for the charity, Wine? water”, which tackles drinking water scarcity in developing countries.
The "jokers" hoped to draw public attention to the work of the organization with the help of their action.
Now they have approached all those who expressed an interest in the Miracle Machine with an offer to purchase bottles of Wine from the Miracle Machine, produced by their firm CustomVine specifically for March 22, World Water Day.
The money received will go to provide water to people suffering from thirst in developing countries, to build wells, etc. Unfortunately, the Miracle Machine, which could turn water into wine, does not exist yet. But if buying one bottle of excellent wine can make dozens of suffering people drink? what is this if not a miracle?
