Preliminary report of effect of "Deluxe Vintage Enhancer" on aforementioned Aussie shiraz...it works as advertised. My wife and I did several blind tests of 45 minutes in balloon glass vs. wine from 45 minutes in wine enhancer. Both of us noticed gross change in degree of tannins, with enhancer greatly reducing their perceived taste.

The manual says that it uses "electromagnetic waves" (radio frequencies) to lower pH levels of wine, reduce the acidy flavor, mellow the bite of young wines, and soften the tannic bite. All I can say it that it appears to do this, though I suppose I could actually measure the pH with a meter or strips for an objective measure. I have a pretty solid chemistry background but have no knowledge of the effect of radio frequencies on pH.

I still don't like this wine, even with reduced acidity, LOL.

The manual (which has charts for times for various wines) cautions about over-enhancing and ruining the balance of a wine. I can see that you could do that. It also cautions that if you like a wine, don't enhance it. As they note, the enhancer won't turn cheap wines into expensive wines but will make cheap wines more palatable.

Who knew. I will try this on younger wines that seem too tannic to me.

I don't know if this is still in production or worth obtaining if you are an expert.
