Drink that fabulous red that needs two hours to breathe now! In less than 2 minutes, the Wine Breather aerates a bottle of wine that would take 1 to 2 hours to breath from the bott. No more waiting and no more risking of opening too many bottles. Place the bottle on the table and attach the carafe. Then turn the bottle over and allow the wine to flow into the carafe. Serve immediately from the carafe or turn the bottle over one more time and serve from the original bottle. Being able to pour the wine back into the bottle without spilling it is an added bonus for wine enthusiasts who want to share their labels with their friends. Decanter comes with a lid.
