Saw this gadget on tv that's supposed to change the taste of wine with a special magnetic field. And the new structure of the wine is to last for 15 days.
Would this be possible at all?

Your post made me incredibly curious since I had never heard of such a thing, so I googled on "wine" and "magnet" and I found this:

The Wine Clip (review)

Is this the thing you saw on TV?

p.s. I prefer to "Brita" my wine. :biggrin:
