WINE AERATOR

摘要

A wine aerator includes a spout, a deflector connected with the spout, and an upper spout element connected with the spout. The spout connects with the neck of a wine bottle, defines an upstream outlet passage terminating at an intermediate outlet opening, and includes an extension defining a lower downstream surface downstream from the intermediate outlet opening. The deflector connects with the spout and is spaced from the lower downstream surface and is aligned with the intermediate outlet opening to cover the intermediate outlet opening. The upper spout element connects with the spout and is offset from the lower downstream surface. The upper spout element at least partially defines an aeration opening downstream from the intermediate outlet opening and the deflector. The upper spout element is configured to at least partially direct wine toward a downstream outlet opening while air contacts the wine through the aeration opening.

1. A wine aerator comprising:
a spout configured to connect with the neck of an associated wine bottle and defining an upstream outlet passage terminating at an intermediate outlet opening, the spout including an extension defining a lower downstream surface downstream from the intermediate outlet opening; a deflector connected with the spout and spaced from the lower downstream surface, the deflector being aligned with the intermediate outlet opening to cover the intermediate outlet opening; and an upper spout element connected with the spout and offset from the lower downstream surface, the upper spout element at least partially defining an aeration opening downstream from the intermediate outlet opening and the deflector, wherein the upper spout element is configured to at least partially direct wine toward a downstream outlet opening while air contacts the wine through the aeration opening.
