Except wine.  Don't try that it doesn't work.
Almost anything else though.

    Have you tried a Wine Aerator? There is a remarkable difference in a Glass not aerated and one that is.

If you want fizzy red wine you have to drink it fresh. Unmatured wine is better than any soda pop I've tried.

It doesn't make wine fizzy, it's a breath speeder. As you know, wines are supposed to breathe before serving, but people are in such a hurry getting drunk of good wine that they can't wait the time needed for decanting.

I got a Soda Stream as a birthday gift almost two years ago. Haven't opened it yet... I suppose it might be a good alternative for commercial soda's to make fizzy beverages out of home made juices, free from additives. As someone said, supermarket fizzies may be even cheaper than the aroma substances.

We have one and use it ALL the time.  We flavor with MIO water "enhancer".  The Cherry, Orange, and Grape flavors work great!  I use the Black Cherry MIO Energy for a bit of caffeine!!

I was referring to the previous poster who wrote about using Sodastream on wine. Unmatured red and white wine actually contain a lot of carbon acid and taste like a fizzy soft drink despite having 10+ percent alcohol in it. It's just too bad it's so difficult to transport as the bottles can't be sealed due to the ongoing fermentation process that would make the bottles explode if they were sealed.

Sparkling wine was actually considered as unmature or spoiled untill a gentleman called Dom Perignon made drinking it popular.
