Power to the wineries!

Counterintuitive point #1: Accelerating aging is a good thing.
Counterintuitive point #2: Car batteries & wine go well together.


Chinese researchers seem to have had these paradoxical thoughts. They exposed young red wine to strong electrical fields, let sommeliers test the result, et voilĂ : the wine had magically matured, improved beyond wildest imaginations.

Here's the recipe from their abstract:
"An optimum treatment, with electric field 600 V/cm and treatment time 3 min, was identified to accelerate wine aging, which made the harsh and pungent raw wine become harmonious and dainty."

Empowering your local winery may soon get a whole new meaning!


But for now, keep your powertools & batteries away from your glass..
