Wine aging machine

Juniper Foo | Oct 20, 2005

So much for the saying that all good things come to those who wait. In the spirit of innovation, bioengineer Hiroshi Tanaka spent--get this--15 years to uncork the secrets of aging and prove that he could have his cake and eat it. Or, in this case, his sake and drink it. Tucked away in his rural Shizuoka lab is a gizmo that's said to age wine to a "drink now" stage by softening and adding complexity to young and even cheap spirits. At its heart lies an electrolyser which can convert about 4 liters of wine per minute. The device can be installed in wineries, while a small-scale version is being developed for restaurants and home cellars. Before you think this bizarre and far-fetched, wineries in California, South America and other parts of the world are taking a close interest in Tanaka's time machine. And after all that, the Japanese admitted he doesn't fancy the stuff.

This is a complete FRAUD. All countries deny this product has been submitted for any type of review in fact the inventor said in an interview that after seeing other products on the Market that he just replicated it.
