Got Wine?

[trekkiedane]

Apparently all you need is an old bottle of grape juice and an AC outlet…

A pilot plant scale innovative technique applying AC high voltage electric field to accelerate wine aging of Young Cabernet Sauvignon is reported in this paper.

Sounds somewhat yucky to me but I wonder if I could actually taste the difference…

Ripe, rich and round, with lots of spicy, earth-scented black cherry and berry flavors, hinting deliciously at chocolate on the smooth finish with just a hint of 50 Hz at 3000 Volts.

I wouldn't even want to taste this sort of thing, but I wonder how long it'll take before someone does this in order to deceive us consumers!

(Old news, I know, but I'd like to hear what thoughts the good people of the TBBS have on this.)
