Rating: - Very cool!
I recently bought this item for my husband in honor of Father's Day since we are becoming more educated about wine tasting. I was sold on this tool after the first try when we opened a bottle of "young" wine. As soon as we finished the first dip, the taste was greatly improved. A few more quick dips and I fell in love. My husband jokes because he says that I secretly bought the tool for myself. LOL! Hey, whatever works!
Rating: - WOW!
I was very skeptical of this product til I went to a wine tasting party and they used one. It really worked!! It made me a believer, so much so, I bought one the next day. I've bought a couple for some of my wine enthusiast friends and they are enjoying great wines that would have taken years to age right now!! I highly recommend purchasing one, you'll have it for life!!!
Rating: - A "Must" for the serious wine drinker
This is one of the finest wine accessories made. We have made believers out of skeptics!
Rating: - Everyone Swears It makes a Difference
I am very suspicious of claims like this product makes, but everyone who tries it swears it makes a difference, although not always for the better.
Rating: - Clef du Vin - The Mastery of Time
Clef du Vin's true strength comes from accelerating the aging process. There are a few negative reviews of this product here. Perhaps what they fail to understand is that a wine, like a person, has a life-curve: a Beginning, a Growth, a Peak, a Decline, and eventually...a Death ( hence the " ruined wine " taste ). Perhaps the wine tested by the previous reviewer did not have a life of 30+ years? Truly, a Bordeaux or Port wine's true lifespan is 20 years or less. Cabernets and Merlots have a range of 5-15 years. Some wines, though Red, may have no aging potential whatsoever! Clef du Vin is meant ... Read More
