Are you joking or what?]]>Feb 8th 2010 9:12PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/02/07/philip-stein-wine-wands/http://www.luxist.com/2010/02/07/philip-stein-wine-wands/
Things like this "wine wand", however, are pure unmitigated fraud. "Encapsulated glass jewels replicate the natural frequencies of air and oxygen and speed up the aeration process," is the same nonsense spouted by practitioners of homeopathy, a thoroughly discredited (and utterly insane) "treatment" for disease that leads to countless unnecessary sicknesses and deaths every year.

Crystals aren't going to do anything to your wine, there are no such things as "captured oxygen frequencies," and Philip Stein is laughing all the way to the band after he rips you off if you believe garbage like this. Please, show a bit more responsibility to your readers!]]>Feb 7th 2010 9:38PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/02/07/philip-stein-wine-wands/http://www.luxist.com/2010/02/07/philip-stein-wine-wands/
Honestly, what is a "glass jewel"? What frequencies do air and oxygen have that could possibly have anything to do with aerating wine?

And the biggest laugh I get out of this is that there is a "travel-size" version.

You're also right about Luxist needing to be a little more discerning. It's a great blog, but this sort of stuff is beyond the pale.

On a slightly different note, have you actually used a Vinturi and does it live up to its claims?]]>Feb 8th 2010 9:25PM
