Bev Wizard Smoother
Tired of too many polyphenols… BevWizard to the rescue. Polyphenols are tannins that often cause a bitter astringent sensation in your mouth that can cover up pleasant flavors. These tannins are found in the skins of wine grapes. The BevWizard Wine Pourer uses the combination of aeration and a high-intensity magnetic field to smooth and soften these tannins leaving a less bitter and more flavorful wine. Put an end to polyphenols once and for all. BevWizard Wine Pourer to the rescue. $29.95

Simply hold the aerator over a glass or decanter and pour the wine through. Just the right amount of air is drawn into the wine to instantly open it up. It's that fast and simple. FDA-approved plastic is dishwasher safe. Includes stand and travel pouch. $39.95
Paul says: Worth it!

Wine Whisk
Some connoisseurs believe you need to let wine breathe a bit before serving, but now you can instantly aerate it right in the glass with this cool new Wine Whish. Simply pour a glass, froth the wine briskly with the Wine Whisk and wait for the bubbles to fade before enjoying. If you don't finish the bottle, simply flip the Wine Whisk over and it doubles as a bottle stopper to keep the wine fresh. Yes, your guests will wonder why you're whisking the wine and yes, they will learn about basic old school solutions. It also whips up scrambled eggs beautifully in the morning. $29.95
