Great Taste

Presto! A wine wand!

Here's an unusual product for the epicurean in your home:

The season is definitely changing and it’s the perfect time for that glass of red! Created by the luxury watch brand, Philip Stein, the Wine Wand helps aerate red wine almost instantaneously! So no need to wait for it to “breathe”...

Red wine, while amazing on its own, could reach an ever higher standard of flavor with the magical touch of a Philip Stein Wine Wand. The company, traditionally known for creating watches that relieve stress and help people maintain a general healthier well-being, introduces the breakthrough device which uses natural energy to aerate wine, enhancing flavors and aroma almost instantly.

Epicureans have taught to let the wine breath close to an hour before consumption. The wand works within 2-3 minutes in a glass and 5 minutes in a bottle or decanter, which living in the instant gratification world of today could satisfy even the most impatient. The elegant wand with encapsulated glass jewels uses natural frequencies and allows the full bouquet and taste of wine to be enjoyed within minutes.

Does this look like lake trout you're familiar with?

There's a reason for that...it's not, as this terrific story in the New York Times recently reported.
