Review of Respirer Next Generation Wine Aerator

The Respirer (pronounced "res-pea-AIR") is a new entry into the increasingly crowded single-serving wine aerator market segment.Unique features:

* Cast Acrylic material is seamless, elegant and durable
* Vortex Impedance Control provides uniform aeration
* The Respirer can be placed on the bottle after use to catch drips

A minor area of improvement I mention in the video is the stand. It tends to suction to the counter when wet, and when wine drips into the stand it tends to splatter a bit.

I give the product a favorable review in this video clip. Feel free to leave me a comment if you have questions- I'll check back and follow up. Thanks for watching!

Product Description:
Respirer, which is French for breathe, was developed using engineering based on core scientific principles. It's better than a wine decanter. A beautifully crafted combination of art and science, Simply hold it over a glass and pour the wine through, mixing the proper amount of air in the right amount of time. The result is a better bouquet, richer flavor, and smoother finish.

How it Works:
When you pour into the aerator the wine flows into a conditioning device called the VIC, (Vortex Impedance Control). It conditions the wine so that it doesn't swirl and it presents the wine to the proprietary pressure chamber in a consistent smooth flow. As the wine enters the pressure chamber, its downward flow caused by gravity increases, which creates a vacuum affect. This vacuum draws in air through the side air intake channel. At this point the real work begins.

Now the wine and air mixture exits the chamber and enters a tapered section of the fluid tube that increases fluid speed and further decreases the pressure in the tube. This decrease in pressure "tugs" on the air bubbles causing them to want to expand. So now we have the fluid-air mixture speeding up and the bubbles wanting to expand, however everything is being forced into a smaller and smaller cross-section.

While the bubbles expand as they encounter the reduced cross-section of tube the bubbles collide. and force the wine to be squeezed between each other resulting in a high degree of oxygenation. The collisions are often so extraordinary that they create fractures in the bubbles and they burst. The result is many smaller bubbles with much greater surface area touching and oxygenating the wine. Then wine passes through the diffuser, which causes turbulence, separation and further wine aeration. Finally the aerated wine flows and into your glass.

All this occurs in a blink of an eye. Pretty amazing. Enjoy!
