It's hard not to admire the simplicity. This device is a modernistic funnel that is made of plastic and stainless steel with rubber outside for placing the device snuggly in the wine bottle. And it does work as advertised; I used it for quite a while. But in this device the aeration occurs with 4 ports on a single plane inside the device. While that will perform some aeration, and will make your wine taste better, other devices have come along that improve upon this. Still, it is my backup aerator and does fit nicely in the glove box or picnic hamper, ready at a moments notice. A better choice might be:

Rating: - Wine Decantoring pourer & Aerator via Amazon.comWe purchased a Menu Vignon Decanting pourer & aerator that you attach to your bottle at the spout and it works great and the price is very reasonable. Rating:  - Waste of MoneyThis product is a waste of money as it does nothing to improve the taste of wine! Rating: - DisappointedI bought this with high expectations as it claims to aerate wine.
