Embodiment Construction

[0015] Referring now to the drawings, reference numeral 10 generally indicates a portable venting device for venting wine 12 in a bottle 14 having a neck 16 . Apparatus 10 includes an elongated, vertical hollow conduit 18 having an end region or lower end region 20 that is submerged in wine 12 for fluid communication with wine 12 and that also has an open end region that is exposed to the atmosphere for fluid communication with the atmosphere. Opposite end region or upper end region 22 .

[0016] The shaft 24 is disposed in the conduit 18 and extends along the conduit 18 . A set of wine blades 26, preferably configured as a single, continuous helical blade, are mounted to the shaft 24 within the duct 18 to move in an upward direction towards the upper end region 22 of the duct 18 as the shaft 24 rotates. The wine 12 is sucked into the lower end region 20 in the form of a wine stream. Preferably, a set of air agitating blades 28 comprising a single blade is mounted to the sha...

Abstract

A device for aerating wine in a bottle has an elongated, upright conduit with one end region immersed in the wine, and an opposite end region exposed to the atmosphere. A rotary shaft is located within, and extends along, the conduit. A wine blade is mounted on the shaft for drawing the wine as a wine flow into the one end region in an upward direction toward the opposite end region of the conduit upon rotation of the shaft. An air blade is preferably mounted on the shaft for causing the air to move as an air stream into the opposite end region in a downward direction toward the one end region of the conduit upon rotation of the shaft. A drive rotates the shaft, the wine blades and the air blades to propel the wine flow and the air stream against each other in a mutually countercurrent relationship and to commingle the wine flow and the air stream inside the bottle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the aeration or decanting of liquids stored in containers, and in particular the invention relates to devices and methods for aerating wine in bottles. Background technique [0002] In order to enjoy the mellow aroma of fine wine, connoisseurs of wine tasting know that the wine should be able to ventilate or "breathe" before drinking. Previously, this was done by simply opening the bottle and allowing the wine to interact with the atmosphere to oxidize certain chemicals naturally contained in the wine, such as tannins, that would otherwise impair the taste of the wine . This is an extremely time-consuming operation and needs to be done just before drinking the wine. Traditionally, wine is also aerated by manually pouring the wine from the bottle into another container. Also, this transfer operation is extremely time consuming and requires not only a separate decanter, but also a steady hand to prevent the w...
