Wine Aerator Funnels – Why Use Them?
Jan 18th, 2010 by Kenny
A Wine Funnel is used to pass air into wines to make them oxygenated and enhance their taste or aroma. As to store and age wines, the exposure to air is restricted. So, when these exquisite wines are opened to serve, the amount of air or oxygen for a specific time increases the olfactory properties or bouquet of wine.
These are spillage proof and generally made up of supple rubber, stainless steel and plastic which add on their feature of durability and attractiveness. These could be either fix on the mouth of the bottle or you need to hold it on while pouring wine into the glass. Also, in some aerators funnels, you can find anti splash frame which restricts liquid from splashing outside.

The main feature or idea behind aerators is that they reduce the time taken to oxide the wine. On the way to come from bottle to glass, these aerate the wine so perfectly and handled all the complex mechanism of aeration or decantation in a jiffy. To put in a way, these cause wine to breathe.
Normally the funnels to aerate red and white wines are different but some companies also offer two in one aerators. The composite models of decanters and aerators are also available in market. In these models, aerator is fitted inside the decanters. When the liquid is poured, it comes to aerator through decanter from very small holes and made it to sprinkle. As a result, you get wine which has been transformed as nectar and with an aroma to please the Gods in heaven!
The aerators enhance the flavor of wine without impairing the quality and inherent characteristics. The filter sieves the liquid content from sediments to give you a free flowing experience. These are handy and light in weight. The aerators come in a complete package and worth of gifting some who has keen taste for wines.
