Hard to believe until I tried it with a very young red wine & found the results were great, just remember the wine needs to be of a descent quality !!??

Bought it while on sale so worst case is if we find that it was all just bogus claims, not much harm done. To my surprise, it does work. I don't have a very discerning palate, but I can tell that it opens up the wine. It 110% won't make bad wine taste great, but it'll become drinkable.Inside the box is a booklet that can tell you what happens if you leave the key in a particular type of wine for X seconds. The EN translation should be near the end of the booklet. FYI, I don't think it's a good idea to leave the key submerged past five seconds.Just play with the key and find your wine's flavor profile that makes it enjoyable for you. It's not a must-buy, but it really is an interesting item that the sole downside is the asking price.

Es un excelente regalo para quien gusta del vino. Es un artículo poco conocido y con sorprendentes resultados. Vale mucho la pena, es muy entretenido. Envejece 10 años por cada segundo de que se meta el artículo a la copa de vino.

On a recent trip to France, we came across this at Galleries Lafayette. It seemed a bit like Alchemy, but after reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try. This perfectly ages, your wine, and turns inexpensive into drinkable wine, and wine into great wine. Not sure exactly how or why works, just know that it does.

I saw this featured on the wonderful YouTube channel Les Frenchies (a must for anyone going to France) and was initially skeptical. But, having just come back from France a couple of weeks ago myself, I have to say THIS WORKS! I tried it in cheap American Black Box Cabernet Sauvignon and it really made that wine taste equivalent to decent French wine. It takes the bitter edge off of cheap wine and makes it nice and smooth like good European wine. I’ve already bought two more to give out as gifts. Highly recommended if you like good wine (and would like turning cheap bitter wine into decent smooth wine).

Product ages a wine one year for every second in contact. Takes out acidity and reduces aftertaste. Love it.

These things are game changers and honestly awesome. Best gifts I've given! My boyfriend's family own a Vineyard and we use these a lot in analyzing our own wines and other wines to determine whether the wine can be drunk now or if it is something that would do better after some aging. Note understand it does not ACTUALLY age the wine but affects how your senses perceive the wine and each second really does change the wine's perceived age by about a year. They are not joking about being pretty precise on the timing tho. One second = ONE YEAR. Pretty awesome product and great gift for the wine love/aficionado in your life or buy it for yourself! I can't recommend it enough!

Es increíble. Tenía muchas, muchas dudas porque me parece mentira que un trocito minúsculo de metal sumergido en un vaso pueda cambiar el sabor de todo el contenido. Pero lo hace. De momento sólo lo he probado hoy con dos tintos, un Ribera y un Somontano. El Ribera algo peleón. Bien, pues ambos se suavizan y se vuelven más “sofisticados” tras unos pocos segundos. De hecho, el “peleón” tras 4-5 segundos sabe mucho mejor que el Somontano (un Enate). Lo dicho, es como Magia. Y para un regalo, o para animar una cena de amigos, lo mejor.

Delivery all went well.The product works well. but did discolour after about a week. Continues to work but fear it may have a short life.

This simple device really does work. Now, I was as skeptical as anyone else, but on the very first use, was totally surprised. . Being Scottish, and conscious of my expenditures, I am naturally drawn to wines which are, uh, "affordable". I particularly am fond of Malbecs, which, while in their entirety, are not enormously expensive, certainly can fall above my self-imposed median price limit. That said, this device, properly and adequately applied to a glass of, say, my typical "affordable", will yield a wine without the edge and the bite which the typical example of such a wine may have, and will afford the wine lover a most pleasant experience.. The instructions suggest that, for each second the device is dipped into the wine, a year of aging ensues. Well, I strongly suggest that the new user boldly experiment with various timings for its immersion. Frankly, some wines in the "Uber-Affordable" range, say, under $10.00, will respond positively to up to 30 seconds of steeping. The edge will be gone, and the affordable glass will have left only the essence with which The Almighty endowed the grape, to begin with. I have three of these devices, and would not be without one. Your mileage may vary, as they say on the Web, but I doubt it. Would I buy it again? I have. Would I recommend it to a friend? Without hesitation.
