Aerate wine like an expert with the Metrokane V1 Vacuum Decanter. This 52-oz. hand-blown lead-free decanter is made of crystal that will not leach into the wine. Plus there is no need to create a mess by pouring the wine back into the bottle. The easy-to-read gauge reveals when the correct vacuum has been pumped. This Wine Spectator-recommended decanter should be hand-washed and its stopper and pump come with a five-year warranty.

Some people try to aerate a wine by simply uncorking it an hour or so before serving. The amount of air exposed to the wine in this manner is far too small to have any influence. To aerate a wine effectively it should be decanted. This means pouring it into a decanter or carafe. As it is poured the wine picks up oxygen which opens up or enhances both the flavor and aroma of most red wines. White wines may also benefit from decanting. After pouring the wine is ready to serve.
