I go back and forth on this one. As a wine lover, I think to myself, wow, what a great way to enjoy fine wine without going broke. As a skeptic I think, where’s the punchline, as in, “oh and the machine costs a mere $1,500,000.00.” Read on and then tell me what you think:
“Squirrelled away in his chemical engineering laboratory in rural Shizuoka, Hiroshi Tanaka has spent 15 years developing an electrolysis device that simulates, he claims, the effect of aging in wines. In 15 seconds it transforms the cheapest, youngest plonks into fine old draughts as fruit flavours are enhanced and rough edges are mellowed, he says.”
