High Voltage Wine

Applying a high voltage electric field can shorten the ageing process of wines. Research has been underway for ten years. Taste tests by a panel of experts indicate that this works.

The best results appear to occur with a field strength in the range from 300Vac/cm to 600Vac/cm. Details of the plug-in ageing process have been reported in New Scientist magazine. ''Not only can it shorten a wine's normal storage time, it can also improve some lower-quality wines,'' according to the New Scientist article.
