Wine Aerators, why aerate your wine?
When a wine is made the bottles are carefully managed to ensure the wine doesn’t spoil in the bottle from too much heat, lack of humidity or too much air entering the bottle. However, when we want to drink our wine the exposure to oxygen is a positive attribute.
Many of the wines we drink today are young and very tight which results in a sensation of locked-in flavours, scents and a drying sensation on the palette. In order to release the true youthful exuberance of the wine it is necessary to introduce the process of aeration.
Technically speaking, aeration unites the polyphenols with the oxygen and elongates them into a less rigid structure resulting in a more palatable wine. Indeed, you can smell the wine as it changes throughout the process.
The WineWeaver wine aerators have been designed to naturally introduce air into the wine from the moment pouring from the bottle commences. The liquid is concentrated into the middle of the wine aerator which has the effect of enhancing and accelerating the ratio of air to liquid. As the wine leaves the precision designed spout, any small particles are caught and the resulting radial of wine bonds with more air before reaching the inner wall of the glass. The wine aeration process continues at this point through the spreading of the wine into a fine liquid thereby maximising its natural exposure to the air.
The process in a glass or a decanter is the same and you will notice from the photos on our site that the effect in the glass is to emulate the process in the decanter – the more traditional method of aeration.
The WineWeaver aerator is simple to use, easy to clean and light enough to place directly onto the rim of the glass to aid hands free pouring. Why not take a moment to see the full range of WineWeaver wine aerators and other gifts?
