7 Reasons The Best Hosts Never Pour Straight From The Bottle

Nobody pours the good stuff for a crowd. But straight from the bottle, your guests taste maybe 30% of the flavor. This little system pushes air through every drop as it pours: 3 seconds, fully aerated, suddenly delicious. The $15 bottle now tastes like the $60 one. Let them think you splurged.

It's your dinner too, so stop playing bartender. It sits on top of the bottle and pours a perfect glass at one press, hands-free. Set it on the drinks table and point. No glugging, no spills, no red wine on the white tablecloth. You get to actually enjoy your own party.

Every dinner has that one thing everyone gathers around. This fall it's the black and gold device on your wine bottle. You'll pour someone a glass, they'll go quiet, then: "wait, what did you just do?" By dessert you'll have texted three people the link. Don't be shocked when they show up with their own by Thanksgiving.

A thin, steady stream, the same every glass. It pours a perfect measure and stops clean, so the bottle never glugs and the neck never drips. The white tablecloth survives the whole night. So does your good shirt.

A dinner party is a marathon. Open a bottle at six and by dessert it's warm and flat. This vacuum seals the bottle after every pour, so whatever you open stays fresh up to 30 days. Two bottles going at once, red and white, both taste like the first glass at eleven. Whatever you don't finish is still perfect next weekend.

Everyone's junk drawer has a dead wine gizmo in it. This isn't that. Anthony Russo has been a sommelier at Acquerello in San Francisco for 22 years. His words: "It's the only home aerator that isn't a toy." Restaurant-grade aeration scaled to a dinner table. Made in Italy.

It ships with three free gifts: an electric wine opener (opens a bottle in six seconds while you keep talking), a foil cutter, and a travel bag for the dinner at their place. Normally $189. 40% off brings it to $109. Use it at every dinner for 90 days. If your guests don't ask about it, send it back. They cover return shipping.
