Clef Du Vin

[raisab]

I just received an e-mail from Wine Enthusiast promoting something called the Clef Du Vin. They claim it helps age your wine! Some sort of metal alloy. Has anyone had experience with this thing? It seems interesting to say the least.

There's a rather humorous and revealing thread about the CDV over on the Wine Lovers' Discussion Group. The bottom line: it's a scam. Any effect it may have you can duplicate with a clean copper penny.

Thank you, I read the thread, it is funny. I never knew that about pennies though.
