Okay, so I love a good glass of wine. But sometimes, you know, the whole process feels like a bit much. Fumbling with the corkscrew, waiting for it to breathe… I mean, after a crazy day, who has the time? That’s why I was super curious about Wine Behavior’s Electric Wine Opener and Aerator set. Could it really make wine night easier?
The kit showed up with everything: the electric opener, the aerator-slash-dispenser, a vacuum stopper (score!), a foil cutter, even extra tubes and USB cables. Nice touch on the foil cutter, by the way – those things always seem to vanish when you need them. The whole thing looks pretty slick, although I’ll admit, the glass bits made me a little nervous. Butterfingers, you know?
Cork Removal: Finally, No More Battles!
Seriously, I’ve waged wars against corks. Broken bits, crumbling disasters… it’s not pretty. This electric opener? Total game-changer. You just pop it on top, press a button, and bam, the cork’s out. Like magic! If you’ve got tricky hands or just want zero fuss, this thing is a winner.
The Aerator/Dispenser: Does It Actually Work?
Okay, this is where I got skeptical. Instant aeration? Sounded too good to be true. I’ve used decanters before, and yeah, they make a difference, but it takes time and effort. This Wine Behavior thingy promises the same results with a button.
So, I poured myself a glass (okay, maybe two) and gave it a whirl. And you know what? It did make a difference! Maybe not as dramatic as letting a fancy bottle sit in a decanter for hours, but still. That young Cab Sauv I had – usually a bit rough around the edges straight from the bottle – tasted smoother, more open. I’d say it’s perfect for those everyday wines when you just want a little extra oomph.
Vacuum Stopper: Save That Sip for Later
Another thing I loved? The vacuum stopper. Seriously, these things are lifesavers. It keeps your wine fresh, so you don’t have to chug the whole bottle (tempting as it may be!). It’s perfect when you just want a glass or two and want to keep the rest for another day.
The Bottom Line:
Honestly, Wine Behavior’s Electric Wine Opener and Aerator set is pretty darn cool. It’s easy to use, and it makes enjoying wine a whole lot simpler. The electric opener is a lifesaver, and the aerator? It really does perk up the flavor, especially on younger wines. Sure, it might not replace the whole fancy decanting thing for special occasions, but for everyday wine nights? It’s a winner.
So, who’s it for?
- Anyone who wants to open and aerate wine without the hassle.
- People who struggle with regular corkscrews (arthritis, anyone?).
- Anyone looking for a gift for the wine lover in their life.
A couple of minor gripes:
- That glass does make me a bit nervous. I’m not exactly known for my grace.
- And, sadly, it looks like it’s out of stock on Amazon right now. Bummer!
