The Metrokane Vacuum Decanter
Not a bad idea at all for those of us that like a glass or two during dinner, but aren't going to finish the bottle for a day or two. Here's the run down from the Metrokane web site:
Wine experts agree: pouring a bottle of red wine into a decanter before serving aerates it and improves its character by allowing it to “breathe.” Until now, wine left in the decanter had to be funneled back into the bottle to prevent spoilage. Now, with the V-1 Vacuum Decanter, you can have the advantages of decanting red wine with no disadvantages. Because you can vacuum-preserve the wine right in the decanter.
The V-1 Decanter, designed by Ed Kilduff of Pollen Design, was inspired by the Apollo Spaceship. Each decanter is individually hand-blown of the finest lead-free crystalline quartz. The Vacuum Stopper will hold the vacuum for days, and your wine will be preserved for the next serving.
The Decanter runs about $80, and you can read more about it at the Metrokane site HERE.
