A wine funnel for facilitating the transfer of wine from a bottle to a decanter includes a frustoconical housing having a top wall, a substantially continuous outer wall, and a lower end. Centrally positioned on the top wall is an elevated ball for dispersing wine into smaller, multidirectional streams. The top wall also includes a plurality of concentric grooves that trap sediment from wine deflected by the ball. The grooves are in fluid communication with an internal spiraled passageway having a plurality of venturi ports for efficiently importing ambient air into wine as it flows through the housing and into a decanter or wine glass.

A decanting vessel has an internal pump for recirculating a beverage such as wine and aerating it within the decanter.

A wine decanter includes a reservoir that holds wine and a neck with an opening to allow wine to enter and exit the reservoir. The reservoir is generally rectangular with opposing front and rear sides and opposing left and right sides, and a substantially flat bottom. Protrusions are located on the reservoir inner surface at one of the front and rear sides or left and right sides. Each protrusion spans an entire length of one of the sides and protrudes into the reservoir thereby aerating the wine as it passes by the protrusions. All protrusions are located above the flat bottom of the reservoir such that none of the protrusions are located on the flat bottom of the reservoir, thereby allowing the wine to pool on the flat bottom of the reservoir. A base is provided that moves the decanter in a controlled back-and-forth motion to aerate the wine.

An electric wine aerator is provided, including: a body, an air inlet part, a liquid-drawing part, a liquid outlet part, and a control unit; wherein the liquid-drawing part is located at the lower end of the body and has an improved air flow path structure; when placing the electric wine aerator to a container opening, no airflow obstruction will be generated so that good air convection between inside and outside the container is achieved and the wine is drawn smoothly; the air inlet part is movably matched to a valve body with a valve stem, and a fixed base is fixed to the valve body; the valve stem is combined with a spring, to act on the fixed base and the valve body respectively; the valve stem passes through a cap assembled to the body, and a knob is provided to control the rotation of the valve stem.

An assembly for selectively aerating and heating or cooling a beverage. The assembly includes a body that receives the beverage, a heat transfer element having a control temperature, a diverter in communication with and coupled to the body, and an aerator in communication with the diverter, the aerator including a plurality of flow features and an outlet. The heat transfer element carried by the body, such that the heat transfer element is arranged to change a temperature of the beverage in the body using the control temperature. When the diverter is in a first position, the flow features are accessible and the beverage flows through the body portion, along the plurality of flow features, and through the outlet. When the diverter member is in a second position, the flow features are not accessible and the beverage flows through the body portion and through the outlet while bypassing the flow features.

An assembly for selectively aerating a beverage. The assembly includes a body, a diverter movable between first, second, and third positions, and an aerator in fluid communication with the diverter, the aerator including a central outlet and aeration outlets. When the diverter is in the first position, the diverter is positioned such that the beverage flows through the body and the central outlet while bypassing the aeration outlets. When the diverter is in the second position, the diverter is positioned such that the beverage flows through the aeration outlets while bypassing the central outlet. When the diverter is in the third position, the diverter is positioned such that the beverage flows through the body, a first portion of the beverage flows through the central outlet while bypassing the aeration outlets, and a second portion of the beverage flows through the aeration outlets while bypassing the central outlet.

A device for pouring a liquid coming from a container provided with a neck includes a housing provided with a system for securing to the container; a tube that is able to inserted into the neck, this tube defining a pouring duct; a pump including: a compressor provided with at least one air inlet, with an air outlet and with a mobile assembly that is able to bring the air inlet and the air outlet into fluidic communication, and an electric motor coupled to the mobile assembly; an injector which is connected to the air outlet of the compressor by way of an upstream end and opens into the centre of the pouring duct by way of a downstream end.
