Why is aerating wine so important?
Aeration is defined as exposing wine to air. This is important because the air helps to bring forth the character of the wine for both older and younger bottles. In addition, mature bottles often have hidden aromas and complex tastes, while younger bottles need the acidity soften in order to truly experience the subtle nuances that make wine so enjoyable. In order to accomplish this in the past, decanting was used to coax forth these elements. Often referred to as “letting a bottle breathe,” it could often take hours for a bottle to be “decanted.” However, with a wine aerator, it only takes a fraction of the time to obtain the same results. WineWeaver allows you to perfectly aerate the wine, either by the glass or by the decanter. You will notice a more mellow taste and a much smoother finish than if you simply poured a glass straight from the bottle.
