A pourer comprises a conduit having an inlet and an outlet; • sealing means (2) comprising a plurality of sealing members extending radially from the conduit and dimensioned to engage an interior surface of a bottle neck; • an air vent (9) having an inlet (10) and an outlet (11); • the inlet and outlet of each of the conduit and air vent being located on opposite sides of the sealing means; • wherein the pourer has no component with a diameter greater than a diameter to engage completely within the bottle neck. In this way, the pourer is configured to be inserted into a bottle neck without any part of the pourer extending outwardly from the bottle neck; and • wherein the conduit includes a chamber having a valve comprising an annular valve seat (15) and a moveable member (14) located in the chamber arranged to engage the valve seat to close the valve when the pourer is inverted.
