Worthy of a worldwide patent.

 It was presented on TBS TV's 'Hanamaru market' and was quite popular. (2003.03.06)
And was presented in the March edition of the magazine 'Nikkei Trendy' 2003. (2003.03) |
Customer's Voice:
When comparing wine poured directly (into the glass) and wine poured with the decanting pourer, they are completely different. I often heard of wine being "opened up," but I always wondered what that meant. With this attached (the wine) revealed a deeper, more mature feeling. Even for inexpensive wines it had a sense of high quality, and because it takes little effort to wash and uses little space for storage, it is very handy.
Before when it caught my eye, I just thought "how effective could it really be? " and I couldn't bring myself to buy it. But when I finally got it, I could have kicked myself for not buying it earlier, and was filled with regret thinking about all the enjoyment I could have had with it. When drinking from two glasses one with the decanting pourer attached and one just poured directly, the flavor as well as the bouquet was different.
Without thinking I blurted out, "Whoah!!!" I who had been worried about the purchase couldn't help but do a little victory dance. But then again soon after I was struck with regret...I should have bought it sooner.
The effectiveness of the decanting pourer was surprisingly beyond my expectations. Its effectiveness shocked me when I could clearly distinguish in a blind tasting the wine poured with the decanter and that without. First there is a very clear aroma. I feel like showing off its effectiveness at a wine meeting.
When using the decanting pourer, the difference in flavor is striking. Ordinarily I do not trust my tongue, but this difference I clearly understand.

When pouring wine, air is sucked into the bottle creating a "glug, glug, glug" sound. This is not just limited to wine. Drinks in general when poured from a container, naturally suck air into the container at an equal volume to the displaced liquid.
This decanting pourer follows the same principles of sucking in air, but because of the detailed piping that it travels through, while it is being poured the air is pushed back, and it is possible for the wine to mix with the air. This principle is for drinks that are thick as well as thin. |

| Decanting Pourer |
This is tremendous! Just about epoch defining! Italian Physicist G.B.Venturi (1746-1822) developed a theory which is an applicable and practical means to make drinking wine more delicious. The WAC staff's testing is completed and to be frank it is truly effective! After that we took it to Katsunuma (a famous wine center) for further verification, and its effectiveness was reconfirmed. Depending on the wine the difference varies, but it really does "open" it up. Isn't it a little expensive? But it takes the place of a full sized decater, and it's so easy! (Made in Denmark)
What was Venturi's theory?
Even though it is a theory applied more and more for industrial purposes, it measures the velocity of fluids and gases. "The decanting pourer" applies this physics theory, the detailed design of the neck is funneled like an hourglass so when the fluid/air passes through it, the velocity of the flow naturally increases, and effectively creating a vaccum which in turn naturally brings about oxygenation of the wine (through the mixing of air and wine the wine is opened up and the flavor is smoothed out.)
Warning: It is made of stainless steel, plastic, and rubber. After using do not put in a dishwasher to clean, instead please rinse thoroughly in clean water.
