    摘要: A system and method for a multipurpose wine preparation device to facilitate pouring a wine from a wine bottle is provided. The body of the multipurpose wine preparation device has an inlet portion and an outlet portion. The inlet portion is configured to slidably engage into an opening of the wine bottle. The inlet portion has an inlet channel that extends therethrough. The outlet portion is defined by a first outlet at a first outward orientation; a second outlet at a second outward orientation, wherein the second outward orientation opposes the first outward orientation; a first outlet channel extending from a proximal end of the outlet portion to the first outlet; and a second outlet channel extending from the proximal end of the outlet portion to the second outlet, wherein the first outlet channel and the second outlet channel are in fluid communication with the inlet channel of the inlet portion of the body. During a wine pour, the wine pours out of the first outlet from the first outlet channel when the first outward orientation is downward, and wherein a continuous flow of air enters into the second outlet channel from the second outlet when the second outward orientation is upward during the wine pour of the wine.

    摘要: A portable aerator comprising: a main aeration body; a base portion; an internal cavity; at least one ventilation shaft; a spout portion; an aeration opening; and an aeration inlet. The internal cavity comprises a threaded channel and cavity extends from a base portion opening to a spout portion opening. The internal cavity is configured to pass a liquid, such as wine that enters the internal cavity body at the base opening out through the spout portion opening. The threaded channel is threaded on an interior surface, such that the threaded channel is configured to matingly engage and disengage with a worm of a corkscrew bottle opening device, such as a waiter's wine key, via twisting and untwisting, respectively. The aerator device may have at least one ventilation shaft, an aeration shaft, and/or an extension tube.

    摘要: An aerator for aerating a liquid as the liquid is being poured from a container includes an aerator body configured to be at least partially inserted into the container. The body includes an inlet, an outlet, and a flow control chamber disposed between the inlet and the outlet. A flow control element is movably disposed in the flow control chamber between a first position where the flow control element is spaced away from a stop and a second position where the flow control element engages the stop. The flow control chamber communicates with the outlet when the flow control element is in the second position allowing liquid to be poured from the container and allowing air to be introduced into the flow control chamber for mixing with the liquid being poured from the container to aerate the liquid being poured from the container.

    摘要: A hollow expansion chamber of the present invention is configured to temporarily contain an expansion of bubbles during an aeration process for aerating a liquid, where a chamber body of the expansion chamber has an oblate spheroid shape. When moving circumferentially downward along the chamber body starting from a maximum inside diameter, the oblate spheroidal shape of a bottom portion has a first integral transition that is a tangential transition to a first frustoconical shape. Continuing moving circumferentially downward, the first frustoconical shape has a second integral transition to a cylindrical extension. The cylindrical extension at a distal end has a bottom opening configured to fit within an opened bottleneck. The first frustoconical shape has a minimum angle of 15 degrees relative to a horizontal plane. The second integral transition is a radial second integral transition having an inside surface radius of at least 0.25 inches.
