Hi Lum

1. Their spec sheet gives no more info than their advertizing hype.
2. The ad hype contradicts itself as to whether it is or is not
effected by low pH.
3. What_is_clear is that this product can only be used to "shock"
a wine. It then rapidly breaks down leaving any unbottled
wine at risk of REinfection.
4. It says that Scotlabs is the sole distributor in the US, but I did
a search of that site and found no mention of it.

Think I would want to know a lot more about this one before I tried it.
