Product Description
When wine is poured from cask to bottle, and then corked ready to be shipped around the world, it hasn't stopped growing and maturing. There are many things that wine gets up to when tucked away in a bottle that are good, but there are one or two that don't do the wine any favours. So that when wine is finally released from its bottle it needs some time to stretch and recover from being cooped up for so long. This is known as letting the wine breathe and is a vital part of wine drinking. Wines drunk straight from the bottle are often very high in sulfites and heavy in tanins, neither of which does the wine or your taste buds any favours (and anyway, drinking from the bottle is not a particularly chic look). Most wines benefit from at least an hour of breathing to be at their best, but who wants to wait that long? Fortunately someone has invented an ingenious solution, one so ingenious in fact that it's used by wineries all over the world. A Swiss scientist named Bernoulli discovered that when a stream of liquid has pressure released from it it will suck in air (his theory was a little more complicated than that, and more eruditely put no doubt).
The Decantus has been superbly designed to maximise this effect to such an extent, that simply by pouring wine straight through one of their Aerators, you are effectively giving your wine an hour's worth of aeration. The Decantus boasts longer aeration tubes which produce finer and more numerous bubbles than other aerators on the market, ensuring a far smoother finish. In fact in a chemical analysis test (at Maska Laboratories which are the only independent beer, wine and cider labs in eastern North America), the Decantus reduced the sulfites by an average of 79%, which is astonishing.
Genie has two versions of the Decantus, one is the Slim home version (click here for details), and the one on this page is perfect for taking with you when you go out. Or of course if you run a wine bar and you want your customers to love your wine. We've done quite a lot of blind tests, and time and time again the taster prefers the wine that's been aerated, by a huge margin.
Get the most out of your wine in a matter of moments with the Decantus Aerating Pourer.

- Great Gift for someone who has everything! - Review by Kate
- Gave this to my brother in law for his birthday. He's usally really hard to buy for but this was a winner. He's really into his wine and he reckons it makes a huge difference and is a good conversation starter at a dinner party! Beauty is that it makes the not so expensive wine we take round to his for dinner taste better to!
