"Winemakers may want to consider a new tool to join their stainless steel tanks, oak vats and clay amphorae—a microwave. Recent trials at the University of Tasmania involved heating Pinot Noir grapes in a home microwave to explore the benefits of consistent heating before fermentation. The research found several unintended benefits: Grapes heated in the microwave allowed the researchers to thoroughly but gently extract tannins and color compounds during fermentation, which may make it attractive to winemakers."
