Not necessarily! Like decanters, a wine aerator is a device that accelerates the oxidation process by pouring the wine through a dispersing funnel or chamber of pressurized oxygen. A wine aerator decanter basically combines the two, consisting of a decanter with an aerator affixed on top. While a regular decanter can properly aerate your beverage with ease, a wine aerator decanter expedites the process, so they’re great in a pinch. However, they could over oxidate more delicate wines, so use with caution.
