In summary, a gadget called "The Wine Clip" has been advertised on TV to change the taste of wine using a special magnetic field. This new structure of the wine is said to last for 15 days. The effectiveness of this gadget has been debated, with some preferring to use a Brita filter and others claiming it works well.

Saw this gadget on tv that's supposed to change the taste of wine with a special magnetic field. And the new structure of the wine is to last for 15 days.
Would this be possible at all?

Your post made me incredibly curious since I had never heard of such a thing, so I googled on "wine" and "magnet" and I found this:

The Wine Clip (review)

Is this the thing you saw on TV?

p.s. I prefer to "Brita" my wine. :biggrin:

My roomate actually has one of those gadgest and swears that it works and takes out some of the harshness of cheap wine.
 

FAQ: Changing taste of wine with a magnet?

How does a magnet change the taste of wine?

According to some studies, exposing wine to a strong magnetic field can alter the chemical structure of the wine, resulting in changes to its taste and aroma. This process is known as "magnetization" and it is believed to enhance the wine's flavor and smooth out its tannins.

Is there any scientific evidence to support the claim that a magnet can change the taste of wine?

While there have been some studies that suggest a correlation between magnetization and changes in wine taste, the results are not conclusive. More research is needed to fully understand the effects of magnets on wine.

Do different types of magnets have different effects on wine?

There is no clear consensus on this matter. Some experts believe that using a stronger magnet may produce more noticeable changes in the wine's taste, while others argue that the type of magnet used does not significantly impact the results.

Can any type of wine be magnetized?

Yes, any type of wine can be exposed to a magnetic field to potentially alter its taste. However, some wines may be more sensitive to magnetization than others, and the effects may vary depending on the wine's composition and age.

Are there any potential risks or drawbacks to using a magnet to change the taste of wine?

Currently, there are no known risks associated with using a magnet to alter the taste of wine. However, as with any experimental technique, it is important to use caution and conduct further research before making any conclusive claims about its effects on wine taste.
