A friend of mine just bought one of these. She and her friend believe they
work. The store owner who sold it to them is a friend of theirs interesting
enough.

I don't believe it. I am not a chemist nor a pro wine maker but I would
think that the most magnets could do is temporarily orient the positive and
negative ions in the solution. I don't see how this could change the wine
let alone instill the characteristics of aging (slow oxidation,
concentration, softening of tannins ...).
