A wine glass constructed from molded plastic includes an upper body defining an upwardly narrowed flume for concentrating the wine bouquet, in combination with a contoured lower base defining an annular moat surrounding a central punt for enhanced visual inspection of the wine. In addition, the upper body further includes a notched indent at an outboard side thereof forming a shelf for facilitated fingertip grasping and manipulation of the assembled glass. In one form, the upper body and lower base of the wine glass are provided as separate modules adapted for assembly to form the wine glass, and disassembly for respective compact stacking. In another form, the wine glass has a one-piece construction adapted for compact stacking by nested reception of the upwardly narrowed flume partially into the underside of the lower base of an overlying glass in the stack.

A drinking glass for serving distilled alcoholic drinks includes a bottom and a wall, the wall including a choke. At the choke, a cross-sectional area of the wall is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the wall at an upper edge of the wall, which is, at the rim of the drinking glass. The wall is provided with at least one formation for the distilled alcoholic drink, on an inside face of the wall, between the choke and the upper edge of the wall.

A concave lid including a depression, such as a notch compatible with a user's finger or thumb to apply pressure on the concave lid toward a glass. The depression may include anti-slip ridges to keep the user's fingertip from slipping when pressure is applied by the user. The concave lid has a portion for indicia that is readable from the outer surface of the concave lid. The concave lid may include a textured portion on its lower surface, such as a band of texture, to create friction and prevent the concave lid from slipping with respect to the glass. The concave lids are preferably stackable and made of clear plastic or glass.

The invention relates to decanters technology field, more particularly relates to a separated decanter. A separated decanter includes a bottle body, a base and a motor sub-assembly; the bottom of the bottle body protrudes an annular wall, a spacer is provided in the annular wall, the spacer is provided with through holes to connect the lumen of the bottle body; the base includes a base surface, an outer ring and an inner ring; the outer ring is set at the outside peripheral of the base surface, the inner ring lies in the outer ring on the base surface; the annular wall connects with the inner ring, both of them and combine with the spacer to form a cavity; the cavity contains a magnet; the motor sub-assembly is set under the base; the motor sub-assembly drives the magnet to turn, thereby stirring the liquid in the bottle body.

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

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.

Methods and apparatus for liquid preservation according to various aspects of the present invention may comprise a vessel and a displacer. The displacer may be disposed in an interior volume defined by an interior surface of the vessel. The displacer may change the volume of the interior volume. An aperture at an apex of the displacer or vessel may allow air to escape from the interior volume as the displacer decreases the volume of the interior volume. An at least partially transparent displacement indicator may be positioned atop the aperture.

A decanter for bottled wine includes a main body having a first end, a second end, a bottle mouth insertion portion, an accommodating chamber and a wine guide portion, an outer cylinder covering the main body and a rotary shaft. At least one retaining ring is provided on an outer wall of the bottle mouth insertion portion. A bottom of the accommodating chamber has a plurality of equally spaced first through, protruding posts each having a second through hole, and an inner shaft seat. An inner end of the rotary shaft is pivotally connected to the inner shaft seat. The wine guide portion is disposed inside the second end of the main body and located at an outer end of the accommodating chamber. The wine guide portion includes an outer shaft seat for pivotally connecting an outer end of the rotary shaft and a plurality of wine guide holes.

Methods and apparatus for liquid preservation according to various aspects of the present invention may comprise a vessel and a displacer. The displacer may be disposed through an open top of the vessel into a cylindrical interior volume defined by an interior surface of the vessel. An outer rim of the displacer may form a movable seal with the interior surface of the vessel so that the displacer may move within the vessel parallel to the interior surface and below the open top. The displacer may include an aperture at an apex of the conical displacer, which allows air to escape from the interior volume as the displacer decreases the volume of the interior volume. An at least partially transparent displacement indicator may be positioned atop the aperture.
