After a long, hard day of catnapping, there's little I enjoy more than relaxing with a delicious glass of red wine. Give me a bold, beautiful, tasty cabernet any day. Meeeeow!
It's usually a good idea to decant red wines to let them open-up a bit and release their full flavor and bouquet. But it takes time to decant wine (from several minutes to an hour, or two, or more) and patience is not a cat's strong suit. The whole concept of delaying pleasure (be it a neck massage, a scratch behind my ear, or a tantalizing cabernet) simply baffles this feisty feline!
So is there another way to prep your wine for consumption without delay? Meeee-yes there is! Recently, I discovered the "Decantus Aerating System." Just pour your wine through the "Decantus" into a wine glass and this nifty gadget will instantly oxygenate and aerate your wine. You'll be enjoying more flavor from your vino in no time!
They make a few different "Decantus" models. Purrrsonally, I think their "Decantus Connoisseur 6 Piece Wine Aerating System with Table Stand" is the best value (since it comes complete with the Decantus Deluxe Aerator & Base, Sediment Screen, Velvet Storage Pouch, Cleaning Brush and Table Stand, too!)
Put your paws on it here:
Wine aerator pourers have really come a long way in recent years. Gone are the days when a wine drinker had to pull the cork on a bottle 5 hours before his guest arrived and pour the wine into a decanter.
