The flavor of wine is greatly improved with its initial contact with oxygen — a process called “decanting,” usually done for few hours. There is nothing worse than waiting for a just uncorked bottle of wine to come to fruition. To save your time and sanity and also let you savor your wine the proper way, the Breville Sommelier Decanter decants your wine for you in minutes.
It uses 90 percent pure oxygen to greatly hasten your decanting times. The Breville Decanter is so powerful that just one minute of oxygenating is equal to one hour of decanting. It comes with a hand finished oxygenating carafe, that controls the oxygen flow through the wine, while filling up the glass. This method uniformly exposes all of your wine to the oxygen, in comparison to traditional methods that just expose it to the surface.
The Sommelier Decanter’s advanced process is designed to remove impurities like moisture, dust, and odors that can ruin the flavor of your wine after prolonged exposure, so it’s always better than doing it yourself or letting an actual sommelier do it for you. The device uses a chemical-free method to remove these impurities with nitrogen and carbon dioxide that leaves behind 90 percent pure oxygen to speed up the entire decanting process so that you’re toasting sooner.
