I got a great tip from a friend of mine this holiday season. For you wineos out there, introducing the Vinturi Wine Aerator.

This little wonder attempts to bypass cellar aging, decanting, “breathing” - perfect for party throwers who just don’t have the time to decant the wine an hour before hand, the Vinturi accomplishes the process of breathing in seconds. You simply hold Vinturi over your glass and pour wine through it, it makes some fizzy noises while the wine is aerating and as it pours through it allows oxygen to soften the wine, letting the fruit and its signature flavors to emerge. Voila!

You can purchase the Vinturi Wine Aerator at Homewerx on Davie Street and I picked mine up on-line through Spinnakers Spirit Merchants in Victoria.
