Wine Aerator

While thumbing through the new Crate & Barrel catalog, I came across this little gadget. It is the Vinturi Wine Aerator.  So what is a wine aerator you ask. The wine aerator basically acts like a decanter, less the decanter and hours of waiting. You simply pour your wine through the aerator, and as the wine travels through the aerator and into your glass, it is mixed with air allowing the the wine to “open” up. The description in the catalog claims that this can produce the same results as decanting for 1 1/2 hours. [Crate & Barrel]
