WINE AERATING POURER

Exposes wine to more air than it would otherwise be exposed to through the normal process of opening a wine bottle, pouring a standard wine pour, and letting it breath.

To best understand what an aerator for wine is, it’s helpful to know exactly what wine aeration is. Wine is a collection of chemical compounds. When wine is uncorked and poured into glassware, those compounds undergo two chemical processes: oxidation and evaporation. Both of these processes help minimize unwanted flavors in wine. That’s why people let their glass of wine “breath” or use decanters. Sometimes for hours and after great ceremony.
