No, don't laugh... Introducing 'The Wine Wand'

For just $525 you can save yourself the time wasted in letting your wine breath

The Philip Stein® Wine Wand is a breakthrough device that uses natural energy to aerate wine, enhancing flavors and aroma almost instantly.

The elegant wand with encapsulated glass jewels uses natural frequencies to perfectly aerate wine. By inserting the wand into a wine bottle/decanter for 5 minutes, or in a glass for 2 or 3 minutes, the Philip Stein® Wine Wand releases the wine's natural aromas and flavors to achieve their full potential while not changing the taste you love.

How does this miracle work, you ask?

The nature of wine in a bottle is that it is organic and alive. Within the bottle a process takes place that helps the fermented grape juice mature into nectar that has been the life-blood of people for centuries, even millenniums.

When first opened, wine is like a person coming up from being underwater - it too has to breathe and find harmony with the environment since it has been without air. Letting a wine breathe helps to rid it of the vapors of alcohol, sugars, tannins and acidity that make it ferment. Only a wine that is allowed to breathe can become the artwork a wine maker intended. The challenge has been having the discipline and patience to endure the two+ hours it would typically take to achieve complete aeration - we now help you do it in less than five minutes.

Philip Stein® is the leader in mind-body wellness using natural frequency-based technologies in luxury products. The Wine Wand has been created to accelerate the aerating process of wine by replicating the natural frequencies of air and oxygen, and infusing them into the wine. This process allows your favorite wine to be perfected and ready to drink in only 2 or 3 minutes.

All Philip Stein® luxury products are permanently imbedded with the natural frequency-based technologies and the Philip Stein® Wine Wand is a beautiful and indispensable part of any oenophile's collection

Now maybe you're thinking this device is indispensible but you are a bit short of 500 smackeroos right now. Fear not, there is a cheaper mini sized version suitable for one glass which costs a mere $325.

I know there are many sceptics on this board but The Philip Stein® Wine Wand has been sommelier-tested and received their highest scores

So there!!

I got a mailing from a PR company about this but they declined to send me one to review.

Bolding is mine

I heard Christine O'Donnell is endorsing these.

If this magic wand rids the wine of alcohol, sugars, tannins, and acidity, what, pray tell, is left?

Franzia?

Peter, I give you my solemn oath that I will not purchase one of these for testing purposes! Nor, by the way, did I ever purchase a miniature pyramid to sharpen my razor blades.

I especially like the line about how wine is like a person coming out from underwater. It reminds me of an old French pamphlet I read about taking care of your bottles like you would a baby. After all, your baby doesn't feel well when he or she is too hot or too cold?

LOL. I thought there was plenty of sugar left in the Franzia wines, Hoke! I know two buck chuck is cheap, but off-brand Welches is cheaper!

I hear Jack Van Impe is sending one to the leader of the upcoming New World Order!

Why can't I laugh, Peter?

Remember the guy who sold the magic crystal that you put UNDER the wine bottle so its magnetic vibrations could energize the wine, and when he sent me a sample for testing and I made fun of it, he flamed me and accused me of breaking it? I wonder if we could dig up that old thread.

I'm not interested. I prefer the wand I bought from Ollivander that has dragon heartstring at its core.

As I read the advertisement, cutting out the details, it says very clearly that using the wand as instructed results in "not changing the taste you love". How much more truthyness do you need?

As might be said: "Oy....where is the Wizzard of Iz now that we truly need him"?

Robin,
That same guy came close to threatening me with a lawsuit for libel if I didn't retract comments about his product that I made on an Internet forum. Consider yourself lucky!

I think he mentioned litigation to me, too. I think my Renfield laugh dissuaded him.

But see, Robin, the wand uses "natural energy". That's an entirely differenty thing than magnetic crystal vibration, because... um... because it's natural. ALL natural stuff is good by definition. As soon as I save up five and quarter that Stein Wine Wand is mine. I might even buy one for Redwinger as a Christmas gift - let him wave that over some "Dr. L" and see what happens!

So this would work on Natural Wine!!!

Oh ye of little faith! $525.00 you've got to like this guy for his Chutzpa, an old Irish expression.
