Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a wine decanter and a wine decanting method, and in particular to a wine decanter comprising a body, wherein the body has an air inlet, an air duct and an air outlet, wherein the air duct is connected between the air inlet and the air outlet. When the wine decanter is used to decant wine, the wine is in a wine container, and the body is inserted into the wine. At this moment, the air outlet is located below the liquid surface of the wine, and the air inlet is located above the liquid surface of the wine. Air enters the air duct through the air inlet, and then the air flows out of the air duct through the air outlet and enters the wine. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, the role of decanting is to soften tannins, awaken aromas, and separate sediments. Decanting is the process of pouring wine into another container to separate the sediment that has formed in the wine bottle and provide the wine with sufficient oxygen to enhance its aroma and flavor.

[0003] In practice, both young and old wines can benefit from the complexity and enhanced taste that comes with decanting. Decanting can even out the aromas of cheaper wines and soften the tannins. Many vintages, as well as more robust Italian wines, will develop their distinctive flavors more quickly after decanting.

[0004] In addition, for liquor, beer or other liquid beverages, depending on the drinking scenario, the taste and drinking quality can be greatly improved after decanting.

[0005] To sum up, the process of decanting is mainly to let the wine come into contact with air repeatedly. Figure 1 As shown, the traditional way of decanting is to pour wine A into decanting vessel B, and then let it sit for a long time (30 minutes to several hours) to allow wine A to fully come into contact with air to achieve the effect of decanting.

[0006] However, the traditional decanting method has the following disadvantages: first, the decanting time is too long. The traditional decanting time generally takes 30 minutes or even several hours, and the drinker needs to wait for a long time, and the drinking experience is poor; second, in the traditional decanting method, the air can only contact the wine at the level of the wine A, and the air often cannot enter the wine for full contact, resulting in insufficient decanting. The above are the main disadvantages of the traditional decanting method. Summary of the invention

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a wine decanter, which includes a main body, the main body has an air inlet, an air duct and an air outlet, wherein the air duct is connected between the air inlet and the air outlet. When the wine decanter is used to decant wine, the wine is in a wine container, and the main body is inserted into the wine. At this moment, the air outlet is located below the liquid level of the wine, and the air inlet is located above the liquid level of the wine. Air enters the air duct from the air inlet, and then the air flows out of the air duct from the air outlet and enters the wine. Finally, the air entering the wine moves from bottom to top, from the wine toward the liquid surface, thereby completing the action of decanting.

[0008] A wine decanter comprises a main body, the main body having an air inlet, an air duct and an air outlet, wherein the air duct is connected between the air inlet and the air outlet. When decanting, the main body is inserted into the wine. At this moment, the air outlet is located below the liquid level of the wine, and the air inlet is located above the liquid level of the wine. Air enters the air duct through the air inlet, and then the air flows out of the air duct through the air outlet and enters the wine. Finally, the air entering the wine moves from bottom to top, from the wine toward the liquid surface, thereby completing the action of decanting. The main body is detachably arranged in a wine container. When decanting, the main body works and performs the decanting action. When not decanting, the wine container is used as a wine bottle.

[0009] The main body includes a top cover, which is arranged on the top of the main body. A vessel connecting part is arranged on the top cover. The main body is detachably arranged in the wine container through the vessel connecting part. When the vessel connecting part is connected to the wine container, a vessel opening is formed between the main body and the wine container, and the vessel opening is located at the opening position of the wine container.

[0010] A method for sobering up comprises the following steps.

[0011] The first step is to place the main body into a wine container filled with wine, the main body having an air inlet, an air duct and an air outlet, wherein the air duct is connected between the air inlet and the air outlet, the air outlet is located below the liquid level of the wine, and the air inlet is located above the liquid level of the wine.

[0012] The second step is to start the body, and the air enters the air passage from the air inlet, and then flows out of the air passage from the air outlet and enters the wine. The air entering the wine moves from bottom to top, from the wine toward the liquid surface, and stirs the wine at the air outlet, so that the wine circulates in the wine container.

[0013] Step 3: After a period of time, the main body stops working to complete the sobering action.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The design idea of ​​the present invention is to provide a detachable plug-in decanter, which is separately provided from the wine container. When the decanter is used to decant wine, the wine is in the wine container, and the decanter is inserted into the wine. At this moment, the air outlet is located below the liquid level of the wine, and the air inlet is located above the liquid level of the wine. Air enters the airway through the air inlet, and then the air flows out of the airway through the air outlet and enters the wine. Finally, the air entering the wine moves from bottom to top, from the wine toward the liquid surface, thereby completing the decanting action. In the above-mentioned decanting process, the air can directly reach the wine, and with the entry of air, the wine can be stirred, thereby improving the decanting effect.
