Review of The Wine Clip Magnetic Wine Conditioner

My brother swears by this thing and gave us one as a gift. I thought it seemed stupid, and when I first tried it on some wines that I like as they are, I was not impressed. Then, for an experiment, we tried it on a bottle of Charles Shaw (aka Two Buck Chuck) Merlot that we had intended to use for cooking, and the difference was really remarkable (not enough to make me a Two Buck Chuck convert, but enough to make it taste pretty good).If you customarily buy inexpensive wines or are throwing a party and don't want to spend too much on wine, then this thing will probably pay for itself pretty quickly.

I have found that I did not like what it did to a couple of wines that I liked to begin with, so I wouldn't necessarily use it on something you really like.Luckily, it seems to change the wine as it's coming through the neck and doesn't change what remains in the bottle much, so if you don't like what it does to a certain wine, just take the clip off when you pour the next glass.

Review of Soiree bottle-top Wine Decanter & Aerator

The Soiree is an on-the-bottle wine aerator/decanter. It provides one-hand operation and aerates wine differently than competing products.Rather than passing the wine through a narrow chamber and injecting air into the wine, the Soiree achieves aeration by relying on the tendency liquids have to adhere to surfaces- effectively exposing much of the wine to air while pouring.In a 4-way blind tasting I conducted with 3 tasters of varying degrees of familiarity with wine, the Soiree finished first. Enjoy this video and let me know what you think with comments- I will check back and follow up.

Product Description:
Soirée fits securely into any wine bottle allowing you to pour, without dripping directly through the Soirée. By pouring wine with a Soirée, the Soirée creates an intermediary stage where the wine is infused with oxygen and then cascades into your glass. In using the Soirée to aerate your wine, you will notice the subtleties and character of the wine emerge immediately upon entering your glass. Soirée delivers a truly "open" wine just by pouring through it!Soirée allows you to decant just the portion of wine you want - a glass or a carafe. Soirée eliminates the dollars, hours, and dishes involved in traditional decanting.
