A container system for liquids, including an in-container mixer/aerator in the exit throat of the container. The mixer/aerator is a cylinder, having axial peripheral grooves, and and axial central bore, divided by axial vanes.

An apparatus includes a body having a length extending from a first end to a second end. The body defines a bore extending through the entirety of the body and at least one of a plurality of grooves or holes around the bore. The body has a length that is dimensioned to be received entirely within a neck of a container.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to extracting the liquid from a container (such as a bottle of wine) using a needle adapted to pierce the closure of a container of liquid, dispense liquid from the container, and supply an inert gas to the container to help preserve the liquid.

Embodiments of an aerator apparatus having an aerator insert disposed within a container, such as a glass, are disclosed.

A decanter arranged to permit storage of wine or other beverage while isolated from ambient air and employing a variable size beverage storage volume. A valve may control flow past a piston as the piston is moved relative to a container to adjust a size of the beverage storage volume.

A hollow expansion chamber of the present invention is configured to temporarily contain an expansion of bubbles during an aeration process for aerating a liquid, where a chamber body of the expansion chamber has a rounded shape. When moving circumferentially downward along the chamber body starting from a maximum inside diameter, the rounded shape of a bottom portion has a first integral transition that is a tangential transition to a first frustoconical shape. Continuing moving circumferentially downward, the first frustoconical shape has a second integral transition to a second frustoconical shape. The second frustoconical shape at a distal end has a bottom opening configured to fit within an opened bottleneck. The first frustoconical shape may have a minimum angle of 5 degrees relative to a horizontal plane. The second integral transition may be a radial second integral transition having an inside surface radius of at least 0.25 inches.

A wine decanter includes a housing and a variation magnetic field generator, where the variation magnetic field generator is configured to generate a variation magnetic field, and the variation magnetic field generator generates the variation magnetic field, so that a movement component that can sense a magnetic field moves in wine to make the wine move, thereby increasing contact between the wine and air. The decanting device includes a wine container, a movement component, and the decanter according to any one of the foregoing, where the movement component is placed inside the wine container, the decanter is connected to the movement component by using a magnetic field, and the decanter generates a variation magnetic field to drive the movement component to perform decanting. The structure of the decanter is simplified, thereby facilitating miniaturization, and making it convenient to carry the decanter, and also reducing noises.

A beverage aerator includes a housing, a pump-motor assembly, an uptake tube, and a spray nozzle. The housing is sized to removably seat on a neck of a decanting vessel. The pump-motor assembly is positioned within the housing, and has a pump inlet and a pump outlet. The uptake tube is fluidly coupled to the pump inlet upstream of the pump inlet. The uptake tube has a tube inlet end located below the housing. The spray nozzle is fluidly coupled to the pump outlet downstream of the pump outlet. The spray nozzle is located below the pump-motor assembly and oriented to have a laterally-outward discharge direction.

A shatter-resistant container in the shape of a large wine bottle with an insulated chamber. The container is designed for use in an area such as a pool or beach where glass is restricted. The container has a removable neck which permits a full bottle of wine to be poured quickly into a large opening in the insulated chamber. A base can be removed to access a storage compartment which holds a pair of disassembled stemmed wine glasses or stemless glasses made of a shatter-resistant polymer. The neck includes a cap or valve and an aerator, so that wine is aerated as it is poured from the container.

A container system for liquids, including an in-container mixer/aerator in the exit throat of the container. The mixer/aerator is a cylinder, having axial peripheral grooves, and and axial central bore, divided by axial vanes.
