My wife and I enjoy drinking wine. Wine always tastes better when it's aerated, which can take an hour or longer waiting for it to do in an open bottle or poured in a glass. I have used per glass wine aerators that seem to work fairly well, but they are a bit cumbersome to use for each glass of wine you want to pour. I have used wine decanters, also, but wine can still take a while to aerate, and you need to drink the whole bottle or it goes to waste. What sets this Menu Winebreather Carafe apart from these is you can decant wine into a carafe and accelerate aeration at the same time.This product arrives nicely boxed. The one I ordered was undamaged from shipping. The only parts are the glass carafe, which holds more wine than it appears, a rubber adapter to fit the carafe and a standard wine bottle, and a top to seal the adapter. Instructions provided with this product pertained to an entirely different product (a wine chiller), but it really didn't matter as it is easy to figure out how to use it. The rubber adapter fits into the carafe securely. It has an inner nipple that fits a standard wine bottle. You simply install the adapter, open the wine bottle, and turn the carafe upside down so the adapter nipple can be inserted into the wine bottle. You then turn the entire assembly upside down so the wine can empty into the carafe. It empties slowly, over a minute or two, and wine dribbles along the inner edges of the carafe for aeration. The carafe did not look big enough, but it does hold the entire contents of a standard wine bottle. Once the wine bottle has emptied into the carafe you can remove it and either leave the adapter in the carafe or remove it as well. I find the wine continues to aerate better if you remove the adapter after filling it, but you can pour wine without spilling it easier with the adapter in place. Either way, when you are done drinking wine you can put the adapter in the carafe and seal it with the included top, or you can put the wine bottle back on and empty the contents of the carafe back into the wine bottle. The major advantage to doing this is, if you have a vacuum wine stopper that can pump air out of the wine bottle (manual ones work very well and are inexpensive ), you can essentially recork your wine bottle and remove air to preserve it longer.Aside from the entertainment of watching wine shower into the carafe, this product does improve the flavor of wine. It seems to aerate well, and the flavor of wine I used with it did seem to improve right away. Compared with other wine decanters I've seen, this Menu Winebreather Carafe is inexpensive and is more functional. If you enjoy drinking wine and want to bring out maximum flavor and smoothness, this product is well worth consideration.

My husband read about this carafe in a wine magazine and thought, "yeah, right. It's just another aerator, but this one has a carafe." But we read the 2 reviews on Amazon and thought maybe this is worth trying. It absolutely is! This is better than just an aerator.We've been testing our wines since getting this-- having some before running them through the carafe and then again afterward. What a difference! It really can make a mediocre, even a bad, wine good! One wine we tried we found we didn't like at all. It's one we would have thrown out after a few sips-- too many harsh tannins and where was the fruit? But after using the Menu Winebreather Carafe, it was actually a very nice wine. Not a favorite, and we wouldn't buy it again (just not fruity enough for our tastes, although it had improved), but it kept it from being wasted down the drain. Other experiments with wines we regularly enjoyed made them even better.I'm trying to figure out how to describe what it does to wine, but it's not the same thing with each wine. I can say we've tried it with a handful of wines now and each one has been improved, some by a great measure, some by small, but noticeable, leaps.This has saved us money, too. Not only are we not throwing out wines after one taste (really need to get to some more wine tastings!), but we no longer have to drink an entire bottle at a time. We have not found a wine we like after it's been opened, re-corked and sitting around even as little as one day. So having wine with dinner meant we had to have 2 hefty glasses each throughout the evening, more than either of us wanted, or tossing some wine down the drain. This carafe has allowed us to have one glass of wine with dinner, and come back over the next FEW DAYS and have more that tastes just like it did the first day!If you aren't sold yet, let me just add that the carafe is pretty too. And easy to use.

The Menu Winebreather Carafe is an elegant and practical addition to any wine lover's collection. This carafe has become an indispensable tool for effortlessly aerating wine and enhancing its flavors.The design is sleek and modern, adding a touch of sophistication to our wine-serving experience. The carafe's shape allows for easy pouring and handling, making it user-friendly even for those new to wine decanting.The unique "wine-breathing" feature is a standout highlight of this carafe. With a simple flip, the carafe infuses oxygen into the wine, quickly enhancing its aromas and taste.I appreciate the convenience of the carafe's drip-free silicone base, which prevents any spillage or mess during pouring. The silicone also adds a touch of stability to the carafe, ensuring it stays securely in place.Cleaning the carafe is a breeze, as it is dishwasher safe, saving us time and effort after use.Additionally, the carafe's capacity is perfect for serving one standard bottle of wine, making it suitable for intimate gatherings or dinners.

Being an impatient sort who doesn't especially like waiting while his wine breathes, I bought this device to see if it would hurry things along. The best way to use it seems to be as a breather rather than as a decanter, double-decanting first into the carafe then back into the bottle. This process takes a couple of minutes and looks very cool, you could happily do this in front of guests for a little entertainment. After aeration the wine is simply transformed - everything smells and tastes bigger, rounder, fruitier. Standard decanting takes hours to make this kind of transformation. As an added bonus this device looks beautiful (much more so than the pictures suggest) and is really well designed and constructed. I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

Really makes a difference. Organized a blind tasting to compare the Vinturi, Winebreather Carafe, regular carafe and straight from the bottle and the scores came in that order for everyday wines while more refined and upscale wines came out strange with the Vinturi. We used a 50$ Fronsac 2009, a $200 Caymus CabSo 1990 and a sub $15 Pinot noir from NZ for the test. In every case, the Wine Breather score very well. Of course, after 6 hours, there was no difference between the regular carafe and the Wine Breather but in the first half hour, it was easy to spot the difference.I think the Wine Breather Cafare is more versatile than the Vinturi and certainly less cheap. I like this one compare to other available on Amazon because it's made of glass instead of plastic or poly. I'll buy another one soon.

Decanter di moderno utilizzo, affinchè sia possibile mostrare la bottiglia e la propria etichetta, dopo aver fatto decantare il vino nella caraffa. Altamente consigliato

Excelente producto, vi como lo usaban en la bodega de vinos Adobe Guadalupe; me parecio excelente, pues la oxigenación del vino que normalmente tomarÃa 30 o 40 minutos la logra en 5 minutos y por ende no pierde temperatura, sobretodo en tiempo de calor. El diseño es sobrio y elegante, el vidrio tiene buen grosor, un bien regalo para los aficionados del vino.
