New Discovery May
Aid in Ageing Liquor
Published Every Thursday at

Discovery of a "chemical dice
game" may lead to improvements
in the ageing of wines and liquors,
the American Chemical society was
told recently.
Dr. George Calingaert, of Detroit,
chemical research director of the
Ethyl Gasoline corporation, also re
ported that other new fields in or
ganic chemistry would be opened
by his findings which show that,
contrary to past experience, organ
ic compounds of the same class
will react with one another through
use of proper catalysts.
Quantities of the products formed,
he said, are determined by the
same mathematical laws of chance
which enable gamblers to foretell
odds in a dice game. He explained
that when a pair of dice is thrown
many times, the number seven will
appear twice aS often as the num
ber ten, and three times as often
as eleven or three.
Dr. Calingaert reported that the
atoms “fall” into position in the
same random way and that the dis
covery "all but shakes the founda
tions of our concepts of the behavior
of atoms in molecules."
Such a reaction may hold the key
to some processes known to take
place, but for which no satisfactory
explanation has been advanced, he
said.
“It is well known that some chem
ical process occurs after barrelling
or bottling (of liquor), the result of
which is readily detected by taste.”
The action occurs though the ma
terials present are chemically inert
to one another and Calingaert pre
dicted that a better understanding
of this ageing process will lead to
improvement in wines and liquors.
