Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, October 12, 2008

An entrepreneur claims to have invented a machine that turns a cheap bottle of plonk into a vintage-tasting wine in a matter of minutes. Inventor Casey Jones says the 350 gadget uses ultrasound technology to recreate the effects of decades of ageing by colliding alcohol molecules inside the bottle.

All that does is drive up insurance rates for alcohol molecules.....All those collisions.....

Does it work on Boone's Farm?

Will it make vintage wine even better? I'd like to sample some 1787 Chateau Lafite, but I don't think I have a spare $167,000 laying around the house. If there was a possibility of turning some passable grocery store bordeaux into something that tasted anything like the Lafite, I'm going to give some serious thought to investing in the man's company.

I have a cheaper solution.

slam bottle of cheap wine in less than 30 minutes.

The next bottle just might taste like Chateau Lafite.

No. The next bottle will taste just like the first bottle of grape-flavored furniture polish remover you slammed. Whether it can wash the taste of the puke out your mouth is another matter entirely.

I have 24 aging cases of pull-top Schlitz in the basement so I can someday hopefully drink them in the early stages of my Alzheimer's and relive "the good ol' days".

Schlitz? oh boy. K G You ARE a brave man.

Best wine I've had was a $600 bottle of cab.

I have no idea of the country of origin or even the name. Didn't taste any different to me than an $18 bottle of Kendall Jackson from Kroger -- the 3 vodka martinis I had before it could have had something to do with that.

If this device works, will it be the end of wine snobbery? One can only hope.

I've had => I've ever had

At the loveless motel and restaurant out on highway 33
The matchbook says call for reservations
Country ham and biscuits, delicious steaks
I met a woman there one night
No moon, just, just diesel trucks
She kissed me like she was hungry so we got a room
In the morning she looked like a horse
Smoking little cigars
Playing these tapes of her husband
She says "Doesn't he sound like Elvis?"

She makes champagne out of 7-Up and cheap wine
Like a chemist

Kinda obligatory.

Be Well.

"has already been given the thumbs up by an English winemaker."

English winemaker? What the hell is that?

"It works on any alcohol that tastes better aged, even a bottle of paintstripper whisky can taste like an 8-year-aged single malt."

Yes, but can it make it taste like a 12-year-old single malt?

Rumpole at Pomeroy's wine bar, ordering up a bottle of plonk: Chateau Thames Embankment.

English wine at one point in time was the envy of all Europe. But that was when the earth was a far warmer place. Yes, the climate has changed in extreme ways before in history. Just accept it. Not saying dont work and strive for a clean/cleaner enviroment just dont go crazy and think the world is comming to an end in our or our great great great grandchilds lifetimes.

Arctic Sea Ice Down to Second-Lowest Extent; Likely Record-Low Volume

Despite cooler temperatures and ice-favoring conditions, long-term decline continues

The 2008 season strongly reinforces the thirty-year downward trend in Arctic ice extent. The 2008 September low was 34% below the long-term average from 1979 to 2000 and only 9% greater than the 2007 record (Figure 2). Because the 2008 low was so far below the September average, the negative trend in September extent has been pulled downward, from 10.7 % per decade to 11.7 % per decade (Figure 3).

NSIDC Senior Scientist Mark Serreze said, "When you look at the sharp decline that we've seen over the past thirty years, a recovery' from lowest to second lowest is no recovery at all. Both within and beyond the Arctic, the implications of the decline are enormous."

I want to try it on MD 20/20. Maybe Wild Irish Rose.

Fun fact.

now if they only had a device that would turn ditch weed into silver haze.

Lets get back to the booze talk. I'm wondering what this machine will do to a bottle of Steele Reserve. LOL

Now we are talking science for the good of all mankind LIPZOIDIAL

Steele reserve... I wish I had this device back in the Schaeffer days.

This sounded like a hoax, but it may not be. See Casey Jones' websitee: www.inventors-showcase.com

If it's not a hoax, I may buy it for my wine cellar (just a short rack against part of my cellar wall). Much less expensive than buying $40 bottles of vino!

"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."
If this can take the cheap shit I buy and make it not run me over in the morning, I'm sold!
