Not crying over spilled milk may be an actual thing, but we at IMBOLDN think that crying over spilled wine is even worse. Put into context the millions of liters of wine that are thrown out every year for going bad due to improper storage and that’s certainly something to sob over.
To avoid that ever damaging exposure to air, eto has come up with an innovative and tannin-saving solution with its wine decanter. For those days when you just can’t finish a bottle, but can’t throw it out either, eto offers protection against air exposure that is the downfall of a good Bordeaux or Semillon.
Based on product designer Tom Cotton’s inspiration on wine preservation through small vessels, the eto decanter is designed to mimic the alteration of a bottle’s volume to preserve the wine within it.
Featuring a half-glass, half-metal decanter this mechanical solution works via a neck that can be pushed down to create a plunger that compacts and theoretically seals the volume of wine within it, effectively preserving it for future use.
It’s an easy process to follow — simply pour your favorite bottle into the eto decanter, which in itself opens up the flavors and vibrancy of the beverage. When it’s not plunged, the long funnel neck of the eto pours gently oxygenated wine into glasses. Once you’ve had enough, just press down on the neck and the patented seal locks once it reaches the surface of the wine. There is no need to measure of vacuum pack, taking the fuss out of enjoying your tipple.
The eto Decanter is currently available on Kickstarter.
