I am very suspicious of claims like this product makes, but everyone who tries it swears it makes a difference, although not always for the better.

Clef du Vin’s true strength comes from accelerating the aging process. There are a few negative reviews of this product here. Perhaps what they fail to understand is that a wine, like a person, has a life-curve: a Beginning, a Growth, a Peak, a Decline, and eventually…a Death ( hence the ” ruined wine ” taste ). Perhaps the wine tested by the previous reviewer did not have a life of 30+ years? Truly, a Bordeaux or Port wine’s true lifespan is 20 years or less. Cabernets and Merlots have a range of 5-15 years. Some wines, though Red, may have no aging potential whatsoever! Clef du Vin is meant to be dipped at 1-2 second intervals, helping you discover ( according to personal palate preference ) where a wine peaks, and when it declines beyond pleasurability. A bad grape is a bad grape: no amount of aging can improve it. BUT, a GOOD grape that is merely young in vintage, will yield AMAZING results.
I purchased Clef du Vin over a year ago. I have enjoyed it so much that I am assisting in introducing it to the U.S. market. Though the catalyst element resembles copper, the actual patented, blended elements are far more precious and valuable. Knowing the product well, I can guarantee you that no metals are passed into the wine. Clef du Vin is now making its mark in the restaurant industry, as well as with the wineries. For those who favor natural cellar aging, this will certainly become a helpful tool in determining the lay-down time required. For all wine enthusiasts wanting an enjoyable experience with a quality wine, Clef du Vin is priceless!

I’m not a wine expert but for me the product is below my expectation. Tested on several glasses of wine and the end result is not consistent.

I purchased this “tool” and it did nothing but ruin the taste of the wine. I should have known that it was too good to be true. And the worse part is that I wasted $100 bucks on it.
Anyone who believes that a hunk of metal can “artificially age” your wine, I’ve got some prime oceanfront property for sale in Arizona.

I was very skeptical of this product til I went to a wine tasting party and they used one. It really worked!! It made me a believer, so much so, I bought one the next day. I’ve bought a couple for some of my wine enthusiast friends and they are enjoying great wines that would have taken years to age right now!! I highly recommend purchasing one, you’ll have it for life!!!
