Metrokane V1 Vacuum Decanter
A stylish crystal decanter is the original multitasking wine tool. It’s used to aerate red wines to quickly improve its character. It always adds that impressive touch of class when serving wine at the dinner table. But what if you don’t serve all wine? Until now there really was no way of preserving what was left in the decanter. That’s where the V1 comes to the rescue. This handsome 52-ounce, hand-blown crystal decanter comes with a rubber stopper, vacuum gauge, and a manual vacuum pump designed to preserve vino left over in the decanter.
Why Decant Your Wine?
Some people try to aerate a wine by simply uncorking it an hour or so before serving and leaving it to breathe in the bottle. However, the wine bottle’s narrow opening does not allow much room for air to effectively penetrate the surface of the wine in the bottle. To aerate a wine most effectively, you should decant it. This means pouring the wine into a decanter or carafe. As you pour from the bottle, the wine picks up oxygen, which opens up or enhances both the flavor and aroma of most red wines. White wines may also benefit from decanting although the effect is less pronounced. Then, depending on the specific wine, you can either let the wine relax in the decanter or serve immediately.
