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

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.
