Remember the news story from last week concerning the French device to remove cork taint? (Wadda yer mean 'no'?). More details -
Scotsman.com
"Professor Gerard Michel's invention is due to go on sale in the UK later this year. The device will cost around £40 and each treatment approximately £3, giving regular wine lovers as well as sommeliers a chance to rescue their cherished bottles. Dream Taste works by using an ionised material known as a copolymer to absorb the cork taint molecules in the wine. Users simply have to decant the corked wine into a plastic V-shaped decanter and then immerse the copolymer, shaped like a bunch of grapes, until the taint disappears. Once all the contaminated molecules have been withdrawn the copolymer is thrown away and the wine is ready to drink."

Wine International
"An independent test on the product was carried out by the French newspaper Le Figaro. They tried it out on two samples: one moderately corked wine, and another so corked that the reporter 'had no desire even to put the wine to my lips'. The report said the first wine had lost all its sense of cork taint after one hour. However, the second wine, even after one hour and 45 minutes, retained a 'displeasing chlorinated edge, evident to finer palates', even though the sense of cork taint appeared to have gone."
