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 and method are provided for dispensing gas to a fluid, such as a beverage, through a delivery system from a vessel containing the gas into another vessel containing the fluid.

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.

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.

An aerator and an associated method and system are provided. The aerator includes an elongate body having a central bore that extends between proximal and distal ends of the body, and a plurality of channels formed in an outer surface of the body, the plurality of channels extending between the proximal and distal ends, and including at least two bends along their lengths. The bends in the channels help to provide a smoother flow of liquids passing through the aerator.

A liquid dispenser adapted to dispense liquid from a beverage container. The liquid dispenser includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The liquid dispenser includes an electric powered pump that is configured to cause fluid to flow into the bottom portion when the electric powered pump is activated. The bottom portion is fluidly connected or interconnected to the top portion such that fluid which flows into the bottom portion is configured to flow out of the bottom portion and to the top portion.

An aerating bottle stopper comprises a stopper component and an aerator component, which is releasably attached to the bottom of the stopper component by at least one break-away connector. During the bottling of the beverage, the aerating bottle stopper is inserted into the neck of the bottle to seal it. In order to open the bottle, the stopper component is removed causing the break-away connector to separate, releasing the aerator component so that it remains in the neck of the bottle. Multiple flow channels pass through the aerator component. When the beverage is poured through the bottle neck, its flow through the flow channels becomes turbulent so as to cause air to mix with the beverage and aerate it.

A drinking vessel for holding liquids, having a base engaged with a rotation platform, the rotation platform having two parts in rotational engagement and configured to enable the drinking vessel to spin.

An aerating pouring device includes a wine stopper unit fittingly and removably insertable into a wine bottle, a spout unit mounted upon and coaxially rotatable relative to the wine stopper unit, and an interlock unit connected between the wine stopper unit and the spout unit. The spout unit is operable to rotate relative to the wine stopper unit through the interengagement of the interlock unit between a wine pouring position, where an upper wine outlet passage and an upper air inlet passage defined in the spout unit are respectively communicated with a lower wine outlet passage and a lower air inlet passage defined in the stopper unit, and a sealing position, where the spout unit closes the lower wine outlet passage and the lower air inlet passage.

The present specification discloses an aeration container that automatically aerates wines and other beverages simultaneously while being poured or directly consumed from the aeration container. The aeration container includes an aeration plate that divides the beverage into multiple streams to maximize surface area in contact with the surrounding air. Further, a dispensing nozzle is provided with a converging dispensing passage with air syphon holes formed transversely into the passage to permit air to be syphoned into the converging dispensing passage for further aeration of the beverage flowing therethrough. The present aeration container permits immediate enjoyment of an aerated beverage without the increased wait time and extra step of existing methods.
