Wine Aerator 'The Single Glass Solution'

If you enjoy a few glasses of wine in the evening, and have the good sense not to indulge in the whole bottle, then there are a few tools on the market that will make your wine experience smoother, easier and less expensive. You can make a single bottle last over several days, with a few high tech and low cost tools.

We all know that wine needs to breathe in order to release the flavors and smooth the rough edges. Red wines especially benefit from contact with the air, some needing several hours in contact with air to properly oxidize and mature.

Wine Aerator

Usually, the best glass from a bottle is the last, thanks to the effects of breathing- if you use an aerator, you can get that fully aired taste in seconds by maximizing your wines contact with air right out of the bottle. Many aerators are calibrated to help tame the tannins in single glasses. Simply pour and enjoy.

Wine Vacuum

Remove the air from your opened bottle and instantly return it to its near-pristine state - you can easily preserve a bottle for enjoyment over a period of days, saving dollars and cents over the year.

Preserving Spray

Serving a similar function to the vacuum, wine preserving sprays leave a cloud of inert gas on top of the liquid in your bottle, pushing the lighter weight air out and preventing further contact with oxygen to prolong the life of your wine.

Proper Glasses

Yes, the glass shape does matter - look for Burgundy or Bordeaux size glasses for reds, these generally have wider bowls to increase surface area interaction with the air, and to better. Glasses for white are generally more petite.

Weekday Wines

A common trend in wine lovers is to cultivate the art of the "weekday wine." Over time, you'll come to know and love a few trusted vineyards and can incorporate larger purchases into your budget. Buying wine by the case is an excellent way to stretch your vino budget. You'll often receive the equivalent of one free bottle with each case of 12. Even if you only buy 3-4 cases per year, that extra savings can be put towards a few exceptional bottles for special occasions.

It's good for you

Studies have shown that a glass of wine a day can do wonders for your health, so enjoy your nightly glass of wine guilt-free.
