In natural aging of spirits or wine, the dynamic structure of ethanol-water clusters changes to a smaller and more uniform state. Through experience we know that naturally aged ones have higher metabolism than the non-aged ones. Also, the same effect as natural aging can be obtained in various types of spirits or wines by the treatment for a period of time with soft ultrasonic wave (US). In this study, we compared ethanol metabolism in human subjects dosed with non-treated white wine (control = CON) and with US treated wine. Ethanol levels in human sera were followed by 400 MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy after administration of wine doses. Experimental results indicated that ethanol metabolism was enhanced 18% in subjects when US treated wine was used rather than when non-treated (CON) was used. Other experiments using rabbits showed that a 20% ethanol-aqueous solution was absorbed 18% more rapidly by the group dosed with US wine than by the CON group. From these experimental facts, it was theorized that ethanol metabolism depends on the rapidity of ethanol absorption in the human body. And it can be concluded that US treatment brings about the same effect on spirits or wines as natural aging.

- Sorry couldn't find the science behind xray specs.

All this says is it gets you pi**ed faster

EDITED TO ADD:
Re-looking at the above paragraph I noticed that it is written correctly from a grammatical point of view - up to the last sentence that is. Co-incidentally the last sentence (the "conclusion") also has nothing to do with any of the stuff that precedes it - Almost like someone else added it . And one other thing...

Lol. I wonder how many other beer/wine/whisky forums he is polluting with this nonsense.

Incidentally, I am also selling a revolutionary device. It's called the Quantum 100 Transmogrification Asset Enhancer.
This device is guaranteed to make you £100 richer every time you use it.
This device is only available from me and is only available for a very limited time.

Intruiged? Simply send me £100 and I'll tell you the secret, erm, I mean, send you the device.
Please note that if you are in a different part of the world then sending EU100 or $100 will be fine, although the profits from the box may be a little lower....

Reminds me of the old one

Want to make $$$ quick?
Just hit Shift-4 three times now.

Delboy - Here is a very short extract
Analyses of both the ethanol concentration by head-space gas chromatography and the free radicals by electron spin resonance spectrometer failed to reveal any chemical changes in aqueous ethanol solutions subjected to weak ultrasonication. However, measurement of the spin-lattice relaxation time (7'i) of the 2H of water molecules by 2H-NMR showed that the treatment slightly accelerated the thermal motion of water molecules in the solutions. Treated solutions were also found to have a slightly higher density than untreated ones. These physical data demonstrate that weak ultrasonication induces a structural change, such as a more compact and homogeneous structure by changing the microdynamic behavior of the solution. These biological and physical studies suggest that only a slight structural change in an ethanol solution induces a marked change in the biological reactivity of ethanol without any chemical modification of the solution itself.
I will put the rest on my site. Cheers

I don't mind a bit of troll baiting.
It sounds like bollocks to me.

Meaningless technobabble. This tells me a lot about you and your product. Hopefully the price will put off even the most gullible.

I'm actually very interested in this concept. Would it be possible to reverse engineer it and create a chamber big enough to contain a product weighing say 13 stone and instead of ageing the product actually reverse the ageing product and make me, sorry 'it' younger? I'd happily pay £350 to make a product 20 years younger than its real age! I'd even take an overdraft out if you could sort this, I much preferred it when my joints didn't creak.

Incidentally, didn't Casey Jones crash and burn in a railroad crash? I think you just repeated history.

Another case of bad science...... Makes milk milkier (whats milkier than milk)! Stops hangovers! It also says all changes are permenant fixtures within the bottle.... so it will never eventually go bad or deteriate, however long left?

Not convinced.
