If you’ve ever been to a fancy dinner in a restaurant or even friend’s home, you may have been served wine that was poured from an elegant looking bottle that was rather narrow at the top and quite wide at the bottom. These ornately shaped bottles or carafes are called wine decanters. Wine is poured from a bottle into a decanter and left there to breathe or aerate for a while. How long, depends on the quality of the wine. A wine aerator also infuses air into wine, but it does so instantly. This is the preferred method for those who don’t want to wait for their wine to breathe and also those who don’t want a collection of wine decanter hanging around their wine areas collection dust. Wine aerators not only aerate wine faster than decanting, they also infuse considerably more oxygen to the wine and dramatically improving the flavor and bouquet of wine.\r
