Link to full articleInventor Casey Jones says the £350 gadget uses ultrasound technology to recreate the effects of decades of ageing by colliding alcohol molecules inside the bottle.
The Ultrasonic Wine Ager, which looks like an ordinary ice bucket, takes 30 minutes to work and has already been given the thumbs up by an English winemaker.

can't you already do that by adding anti-freeze?

Probably, but with antifreeze, not only is it really unethical to use it, but also very dangerous, and in most cases (if not all), illegal, since it can kill, or cause serious and permanent physical damage.

As Centurus says it has what are normally considered "undesirable" side effects so I always assumed anyone using that "improvement" to be either insane or stupid (some of course being efficiently both). This system should be able to avoid those negative side effects while apparently enhancing taste not "kick". |

"This could definitely have some applications for those restaurants who are buying wine for £10,000 a case.
"Technically I suppose you could buy a good wine at two or three years old and age it so it tastes like a 20-year-old vintage.
"Wine is at it's best five or so years after it's made, so this could help homebrewers taste aged wine more easily."
However, he warned restaurants and bars against trying to pass off a cheaper bottle of wine as a more expensive one just because it had been through the machine.
"You would have to tell customers it wasn't quite the real thing," he said. I read the second line and the same thing popped into my head. how many think that restaurants wouldn't try to pull that? |

That makes me think of the Bart Simpson exchange student to France episode. The police didn't care he'd been kept in slavery, but all hell broke loose when he let it be known they were tampering with wine.

Doesn't really matter. America already has the finest wine label ever produced, and there is little that can be done to improve upon it.  |
