Has anyone use one of these? Sharper Image has one that is part of a Wine
Kit that includes a lever corkscrew and a foil cutter. 1 minute of aeration
is supposed to equal 30 minutes of air (in bottle or decanted??). Cwdjrx
(Chuck) had mentioned this in a post in Oct 2002 but that post had no
meaningful responses.

Thanks, LarryB

Hi Larry;

Would this aeration device work any better than a vigorous decanting....
what I call the GLUG, GLUG, GLUG technique?

Glug glug is very efficient, and cheap.

I'e seen a couple of wine makers who use a modification of the glug, glug
method.... Two decanters, pouring the wine back & forth between them.
Seeing it made me think of old time Alchemists or the original Royal Society
Scientists of the Baroque era. Probably still cheaper than what the
marketing department of sharper image is offering.

You can pour the wine into a small glass pitcher, splashing as much as
you see fit, and return it to the bottle or a decanter using a glass or
plastic funnel, if necessary. If you think you need much more air, you
could use a second empty bottle holding about 2 bottles of wine and
having a stopper or cap, and shake the wine well before returning it to
the wine bottle or pouring it into a decanter. Or if you decde the wine
needs air after it is in the wine glass, just swirl the wine rapidly and
let it stand a while. Those huge wine glasses that are now so popular
will allow you to slosh the wine around the glass very well.

So, no one has used one but it seems like a stupid idea anyway. Right?

Pretty close. I don't buy wine magnets either. I also don't think the US income
tax is illegal, nor that if I send that guy $5 dollars (It worked for me!!!) in
a chain letter.

On a really tight, really tannic young wine, I confess to using the 2 decanter
method at least once (pretty sucessfully, actually)
