Can't wait to find out? If you can spare 100 seconds then this was invented just for you!

More unadulterated crap for the mugs who believe in wine voodoo. :roll:

The blurb states "The secret to Clef du Vin is the patented metal alloy. This unique metal alloy gradually modifies the wine's properties (ie. Taste, smell, and structure) by accelerating oxidation."

~~~~ sigh ~~~~~ don't these jean-ie-asses :wink:

understand that a wines ability to age is a little more complex then just oxidation. :shock:

This is exactly right. A far cheaper way to achieve the same effect is to just decant and let the wine sit until its aged to perfection! :roll:

Some of this stuff just drives me to drink. Speaking of which..........

Wow!
What an American way to seek attention. The oldest I got to Grange was the 1962 Bin 60 A, that wine in a way surpasses most Grange (of what I tasted 1971 and up) big time, but still not 100 years old. Dear KMP, please treat this topic SERIOUSLY.
Some Australian wines are good to go 100 years.
Cheers,
Attila

Did you read how this works?

By accelerating oxidation huh? Yes that is certainly the way to integrate fruit flavours, soften tannins and develop secondary characters.

An easier and cheaper way would be to get a straw, put one end into the glass of wine, the other into your mouth, and blow.

LOL but you are a dummy :!:

Straws only cost a couple of cents each :twisted:

(unless you get the Riedel designer model :wink:

) so how can these guys make a buck unless they come up with vinous snake oil. :shock:
