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.

These are the hit at my local wine store for tastings! Yes, it does make a difference and works as advertised! A bit pricy, but definitely smooths out tannins and simulates much of the aging process. "Black magic" for many wines!

The Clef du Vin should be on Ripley's Believe it or Not! Its effects on most wines are quite pronounced, taking the "bite" down by softening the tannins or intensifying the flavours. We are finding ourselves using it in every glass!

Given the price, I really was hoping that this worked. We love to try new wines, but sometimes you get one that hasn't quite reached it's time, so this is a great option to have to really enjoy a wine that we might not have otherwise. We have done taste comparisons and you really can taste the difference. It is very compact and portable with it's own little carry pouch, so you can easily take it with you out to dinner etc...I'm more than happy to recommend this product.
