excerpt:
"Simply pouring a glass with the Wine Clip in place has an immediate and salutary effect on wine molecules. The power of the Neodymium magnets both breaks down large astringent tannins, and accelerates aeration — much like decanting — resulting in a smoother, softer and more balanced taste. The improvement is obvious, easily verified, and improves flavor and bouquet as you pour! To my palate, the Wine Clip makes any pedestrian $15 bottle of wine approach the taste of Reserve or Estate-Bottled vintages costing $30, $40, $50 or more per bottle. Should be kept away from electronic equipment such as computers and pace makers."

There are a lot of inventions along this line. Fuel lines, golf course watering pipes, Water softening in the house, there is even an electromagnet version sold as water softener at Home Depot and advertised on TV.  I want to get some for the toilet lines to prevent calcium from sticking.

I think the positive magnetic field changes the angle of the hydrogen atoms on a water molecule, which makes it a stronger solvent, and slightly wetter. Don't know how it would work on non water liquids like fuel, but that probably doesn't matter if you got the right TV ad...

That wine bottle one looks really cool!  The perfect wedding present for a technogeek!

Hey, maybe we can start an online forum for those guys and call it "Alcohol Nervosa."

Hell we can fit that in right here!

FWIW I don't believe it. 
For the simple reason that if it was so "obvious" everyone would be doing it by now.

Like in audio, and in life, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing
but as I said in regards to certain black boxes, for $30 its not worth debating.
