ultrasound used to age wine

[199q]

you can polish a turd all day long, but you know what you have at the end of the day???
yep,
A turd with a bunch of polish on it.

wine? whiskey? no way at all..... crap in = Crap out!!

Well 8 year whiskey isn't aged for 8 years in the bottle, it is aged in the barrel. Old bad whiskey is still bad if you don't drink it for a long time.

That was my point. There is no way that this machine could make it taste like it has been sitting in a barrel for 8 years.

"The look and bouquet of the drink is improved and because of the chemical changes, the alcohol is easier to absorb by the kidneys and therefore, hangovers are virtually eliminated"
Even if it works to somehow change the flavor, I call B.S.. Tell me, how many "hangover cures" have there been throughout history. This Bologna. My dad has a high frequency machine that he uses for physical therapy on patients, I believe it has an ultra sound and electric stimulation function. I'll have to try it out one day. However, How does one get an equal exposure area to the ultra sound? It'll help to know where the ultrasound heads are in that machine

i would doubt that a 'high frequency machine used for physical therapy' would deliver the same result as an ultrasound machine.

Though, it could very well have it's own impact, positive or negative, as well.

If this 'ultrasound effect' is real, it would seem to me that all commercial wines would soon become either very expensive...or very cheap...depending on the market forces of competition and supply and demand.

Hmmm...My vet has a portable ultrasound machine that fits in a small backpack. I wonder if he appreciates a good wine?

Pogo

Off topic, but that Chaser stuff you see in the stores? Yeah, that stuff works. I think you take one after your first drink, then one two drinks later IIRC. Two weeks on deployment for "training," with no actual work to do, that stuff saved my life.

Most of those things are just a big dose of B12 and other multivitamins. B12 helps the body accept and retain water, thereby lessening your hangover. By a multivitamin with a butt load of B12 and save yourself the money. That and drink a bunch of water.

That doesn't change the fact that only Jesus is known to have made good wine out of anything other than the best grapes. Bad wine is bad win is bad wine. Unless these people are claiming to be Jesus, there product doesn't do anything that allowing your wine to properly open up with oxygen and time will do (decanting, or otherwise aerating).
