Topic 7 has been included on the site at
http://wineFAQ.hostexcellence.com . It will be a while before I
proofread all of the other sections to make sure any other possible
small changes are included.

Although some numbered topics have subtopics to be completed, Topic 9
concerning magnetic devices remains. I noticed in some catalogs that a
device with an exotic metal alloy also is being sold to "improve" or
age wine. Thus one could expand topic 9, if desired. However, I don't
think people would like what I have to say. I would just say that such
devices are difficult to defend on established scientific knowledge,
and the onus is on the company making them to prove they work by double
blind tests conducted by an independent organization who knows how to
do such tests properly.

Magnetism is mysterious to the general public. Therefore, it is the
crux of innumerable scams. I'd bet hands down that this is one of them.

I still say that some mention of simple hydration is called for.
Alcohol promotes dehydration, and dehydration causes headaches.

Me too. A google of "magnetic scam" is pretty amusing reading, also.

Jose, read the last sentence of each paragraph in Sect. 7. Does that
not address your issue?

Yes, it does. I didn't see that the first time around. Either it
wasn't there (sounds of the Twilight Zone) or its position in the
paragraph diminishes its importance.
