Stop waiting for wine to open up, and start drinking!
While most table decanters can be very sophisticated, they do take some time to let a wine breathe and sometimes you just don’t have time to wait! Well now there’s a new gadget that helps you get to wine tasting faster…
The Spreathe is an in-bottle aerator that you stick in your freshly opened bottle of wine and, within a few minutes, it decants the wine for you there and then! The way it works is that it gently moves wine through air by multiplying the wine/air surface contact; allowing wine to breathe 10 times faster than regular decanting.
You can get one free (regular price is HK$230) at AtStyle Wine right now when you buy a case of mix New Zealand wines from now till January 4, 2011.
