The Perfect Sommelier TM requires no batteries; just place your open bottle on the magnetic base, put the magnetic stopper in, and wait 30 minutes. The wine will show softer tannins and rounder fruit, as if it had been aged for several years.

"Don't ask me how it works, but it works!"

"The sceptic is convinced. I'm the biggest sceptic in the book, so when I received a gizmo called The Perfect Sommelier TM , which was supposed to ‘age' wine in a matter of minutes, I thought ‘Oh sure!' For sake of experiment, I set up a tasting of an Italian Brunello, a wine that's known for being tight and unapproachable when young. One glass was expose to the effect of The Perfect Sommelier TM ; another wasn't. Frankly, I was surprised to find that there was, in fact, a rather large difference."
