Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Soiree bottle-top Wine Decanter & AeratorCustomer Review: I can't believe it actually worked! Summary: 5 Stars
Call me a skeptic, but I really didn't think we would taste a difference in our wine after using the Soiree Aerator, but after reading all the glowing reviews on the internet I figured, "What the heck?" So I ordered it, popped open a bottle of Cabernet and gave it a shot. WOW! It's amazing. So I introduced the concept to my VERY skeptical husband, I did a blind taste test on him and has declared that all wine will now be served through the Soiree in our house. He's actually begun to drink MORE wine, in fact. Over the past few weeks we've done a few more blind taste tests and every time we have picked the aerated wine from the Soiree over the bottle. It removes the harshness from a young wine, the 'vinyl' taste (that's my take on it, anyway,) and leaves a fruity, smooth finish.
2/25/2011 Update - Like many others, we shattered our first one. It was so indispensible to us that the next one was ordered within an hour of the disaster. Unfortunately, the Soiree is made of very delicate blown glass that breaks easily, so we're more careful with ours now. The only two negatives I have about the replacement are 1.) the replacement didn't have the larger rubber stopper our first one had (we may have ordered a different model?) but we never used that one anyway and 2.) the replacement's rubber flange was pushed too far up on the neck, so it wouldn't catch into the mouth of the wine bottle (almost broke the replacement 1st time we used it as it fell right out of the bottle!) While it didn't make it unusable, it did prevent the Soiree from making a seal in the bottle neck so we'd have to hold it on with one hand while we poured with the other. As this was one of the reasons I'd selected the Soiree over the Venturi, I almost sent it back for another replacement but the hubby was finally able to work it off so we could move it further down. With the glass being so delicate, I was worried we'd crush the neck working the rubber connector off, but the hubby is a miracle worker and persisted.
Description of Soiree bottle-top Wine Decanter & AeratorThe Soiree is a wine accessory that fits into any standard corked wine bottle allowing you to pour, without dripping, directly through the Soiree. Once you place the Soiree in the wine bottle, the Soiree aerates your wine as you pour it. The Soiree allows you to decant just the portion of wine you want-a glass or a carafe. The Soiree can also be used to pour the wine into a decanter, further expediting the "opening" of your wine. The Soiree has dimples in the glass increasing the surface area of the glass which not only agitate the wine, but infuse more oxygen in the wine. Soiree is a bottle-top wine aerator. Soiree fits securely into any wine bottle allowing you to pour, without dripping directly through the Soiree. By pouring wine with a Soiree, the Soiree creates an intermediary stage where the wine is infused with oxygen and then cascades into your glass.

Soiree delivers a truly "open" wine just by pouring through it.
