Product description

WINE NEEDS TO BREATHE - Red wine which has been allowed to breathe tastes better. As wine breathes, it opens up, and releases its intended aromas and flavors. Traditionally, decanters were used to aerate wine. However, decanting can be time consuming, cumbersome, and inconvenient. Magic Decanter's design speeds up this process with ease and convenience. Perfect aeration can be achieved in the time it takes to pour a glass. ALL THE TASTE WITH NONE OF THE WAIT Simply hold the Magic Decanter over a glass and pour wine through. Magic Decanter draws in and mixes the proper amount of air for the right amount of time, allowing your wine to breathe instantly. You'll notice a better bouquet, enhanced flavors and smoother finish. IT'S THAT FAST...IT'S THAT EASY

Note that the "Fold Line" extending from the aeration hole is a normal part of the manufacturing process. This is not a defect, but part of manufacturing.

Make sure you receive the PLUS version which includes the Magic Decanter PLUS a Sediment Filter and a convenient Travel Bag.

« Very Nice! »

I ordered the Magic Decanter after experiencing the Vinturi decanter. They look the same and to my knowledge, work the same and deliver the same results - with the major difference being that the Magic Decanter costs $20 less. We are very satisfied with the results and have used it on several bottles already. Can't say that I can truly attest to a taste improvement, but then...maybe I need to buy cheaper wine (wink). Bottom line: we're very pleased with the purchase and feel it is a worthwhile value. We bought several more as gifts for friends.

« conversation piece »

Was not overly impressed. Added little to the taste of 10$ wine. Holder is nice to avoid dripping wine everywhere. Makes for a cheap gift or conversation piece with friends.

« Comparable to other Venturi-effect wine aerators »

This performs as well as other more well recognized products, at a lower price point. Double-blinded, and blind folded, I correctly identified the glass that had been aerated however, taste is subjective, and not everyone in our group did.

This is certainly a gadget item, and really only serves to speed up the time from bottle to glass, that would otherwise take a few hours in a decanter. Younger, less expensive wines seem to benefit the most.

Worth noting: The 2 injection points (where the air is pulled in) are directly across from each other, so air is not pulled in equally from both sides. I doubt this makes any real difference in the taste of the pour, but it does make for a strange pattern of sound.

« Works but it's MESSY! »

I wonder if mine is defective.
I believe it works; it really opens up the wine as if it's been decanted and then some.
However - I can't stand how messy it is! I'm adept at pouring a glass of wine and twisting the bottle to avoid the drip or any need for a wipe. This device ruins all that and makes it far too messy to pour wine in front of others.
The opening at the top is of course smaller than a glass of wine so that's one challenge but even worse is that the two small aeration(?) holes on the sides don't just let in air - they leak wine! So you have to make sure this thing is centered over the glass while pouring so that any bursts from the holes still land the wine in the glass. And then of course remember the bottle-twist. But even worse than that challenge is when you move the 'magic decanter' from one glass to another, it drips ~75% of the time. Sure, you can shake it to remove the last drops but it's still messy.
The best solution I've found is to use this when pouring into a real decanter to minimize all the dripping, however I'd need a decanter with a bigger mouth --- and isn't this device supposed to remove the need for an actual decanter?
Seriously, maybe mine's defective.
