  We present a novel method for detecting the relic neutrino background that
takes advantage of structured quantum degeneracy to amplify the drag force from
neutrinos scattering off a detector. Developing this idea, we present a
characterization of the present day relic neutrino distribution in an arbitrary
frame, including the influence of neutrino mass and neutrino reheating by
$e^+e^-$ annihilation. We present explicitly the neutrino velocity and de
Broglie wavelength distributions for the case of an Earthbound observer.
Considering that relic neutrinos could exhibit quantum liquid features at the
present day temperature and density, we discuss the impact of neutrino fluid
correlations on the possibility of resonant detection.
