Sonos and Alexa sitting in a tree (in 2017)

Sonos and Amazon have teamed up to bring voice control to every room in the home. In 2017, anyone with an Alexa-enabled device, such as an Amazon Echo or Echo Dot, will be able to play, pause, skip, or control the volume on any Sonos home sound system using the power of their voice.

Skip the wank and go straight to the 1 minute mark to see how the system will actually work.

It sucks that Amazon are still (for some reason) only selling the Echo as a US only product. It’s a fantastic product that hopefully, with integrations like this, will be available worldwide (easily) soon.
