The Ultrasonic Wine Ager, which looks like an ordinary ice bucket, takes 30 minutes to work and has already been given the thumbs up by an English winemaker…
"It works on any alcohol that tastes better aged, even a bottle of paintstripper whisky can taste like an 8-year-aged single malt…
"I have even tried it with orange juice... It didn't just make the juice taste fresher, it made it look brighter too…"
"Obviously it can't change the grape variety used, but it does mean a relatively poor variety can be made to taste a lot higher market…
"Technically I suppose you could buy a good wine at two or three years old and age it so it tastes like a 20-year-old vintage.
