I’m not a big wine drinker, but I do a lot of socializing and prefer wine over liquor. I got a Remodia Wine Aerator Decanter to see if that will help. This is what it does.
There are 3 stages of the aeration system that makes your wine taste better almost instantly.
The umbrella-shaped aeration component gently expands your wine, exposing it to the maximum amount of air possible as it flows over, around, and under the wine. This allows the wine to mix with the air and changes the taste to a softer, more enjoyable and palatable experience. Your wine will not only taste better, the scent will be improved, too.
Why does wine have to breathe anyway? Well wine is “alive” in the sense that there are constant chemical reactions taking place, but wine doesn’t breathe in the sense that you and I do. “Breathing” begins the moment a cork is pulled or a twist off is uncapped. But if that’s all you do, the amount of surface area that the wine has that can be exposed to oxygen is only a small size. For more aeration, pouring a glass will help, as will swirling that glass around, but to maximize the “breathing” phenomenon, you’ll want to use a decanter.
I honestly didn’t taste the difference, had I drank it before it “breathed”, but again, I’m not a wine connoisseur. This would make a fantastic gift for someone that is though.
It’s designed to prevent leakage better than other decanters because it prevents any leaking or dripping from pouring your wine too quickly.
Also to prevent a mess, just set the aerator in the rubber stand until ready to wash. The Remodia is easy to clean, store and is dishwasher safe.
To me this is the best wine aerator for red wine, but can be used for white wine as well.
this would make a fantastic gift for a wine enthusiast – comes with pouch and GIFT BOX. 🙂
I was given this product for review purposes. All opinions are my own. ~D
