Mature young wine instantly. When dipped into wine, the patented metal alloy on the tip replicates the aging process, softening the tannins in young wines and improving their taste. Tested over 10 years by scientists and sommeliers, this compact taste enhancer has received praise throughout Europe,…
I keep this in my purse for all uses! It's perfect for dining out or when I'm traveling. This is one of my favorite little gizmos. It's been great fun to try it out on skeptics. I ALWAYS win them over! This little thing is fantastic! I've given it many times for a gift!

1,2,3 Secounds and you have fixed a young wine. I don't know how or why it works but it does. If you are a collecter you'll be able to purchase a young wine and be confident that in a few years it will be good (if you store it right). Go out and have a glass of wine, usually the house wine is a young wine and you can fix it in 1 or 2 Secounds. Now you can have a glass of the house wine and not have to buy a whole bottle of a more expensive wine.

shows the future of aging a wine, and how long is too long. Takes the "bite" out of a young wine. If used on a wine that won't age well, you can tell. Average one year of aging per second of exposure to the wine lets you "see the future" of the wines! We plan to use it on an upcoming trip to napa, and use it to tell if ewe need to drink our inventory faster! A great gift for the wine lovers!

This product really works, and is a definite attention getter at restaurants. We attended a wine dinner recently, and all of the people at our table had a blast using it.

This is a true scientific measuring device and it does work. Follow the simple taste-testing instructions and prepare to be impressed! I have been busy reorganizing the "drink now" and "drink next year" sections of my cellar based on the results achieved with this device.

I don't know how on Earth this works, but it really does work. I was skeptical at first, but my wife and I both love it and use it every day.

I gave the clef du vin as a Father's Day gift. My father called me the next day to tell me that he had tried it on two different red wines and was very impressed with the results. It turned out to be an ideal toy for the man who has everything.

We love the fact that it removes the tannins. We consistently use it for red wine at home, at wine tastings, and in restaurants. Fascinates others. Everyone we've shared it with can tell a difference in the taste of the wine. Provides immediate feedback on how the wine will age.

We were introduced to it at a wine tasting gathering with a few friends. Had to have one of our own. The jury is still out on its use with whites but it is very good with reds.

I was not sure about this item when I purchased it, but my boyfriend had seen it and wanted it. We tried it out as soon as we received it and I was amazed at how it really did age the wine. I am very impressed.
