Aging Wine with Wine Express


Overlordofpastry

Recommended Posts

I came across a product called Wine Express that says it can age a bottle of wine in only 30 minutes, it is basically a base with magnetic properties that the bottle sits on which does something to the tannins in the wine. Has anybody heard about this or does anybody know if it actually works and is it worth buying? I want to buy it as a present but I'm slightly skeptical about it. Any opinons would be greatly appreciated!!!

A similar product recently generated copious amounts of argument.  I'm not sure how many of us really want to go through all that again.

I'm sure. :wacko:

See here and here if you absolutely feel you must.

Viewed at a safe distance, the two threads can be entertaining and informative, plus provide an interesting reflection of what eGullet is all about (imho).

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"A sense of humor is a measurement of the extent to which you realize that you are trapped in a world almost entirely devoid of reason. Laughter is how you release the anxiety you feel at this knowledge." -Dave Barry, humorist
