Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of WMF Vino Stainless-Steel 4-Way Funnel
Customer Review: Funnel away!!
Summary: 5 Stars
A few months ago, my friends and I were up in Napa doing what we enjoy most... drinking wine! One of our stops was Francsican on HWY 29 and tried a bunch of their wines. WE make wine and were chatting with some of the folks there and they pulled out their '05 Magnificat which they said was alittle tight but really opened up if you decanted it and used this 4-way funnel.
He made a statement that it really added a year to the wie when decanting and using this funnel. All of my friends and I all looked at each other like it was this HUGE epiphany. Some of our 2004 vintages for some reason were coming to life late in the bottle and so we tried this funnel. We are so sold! WE use it for our wine and every bottle of red. Its amazing how aerated the wine gets and all the flavors just pop!
Customer Review: A must have
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are into wine decanting, this WMF funnel/filter is a must have. My son and daughter-in-law are into wine and wanted to start decanting. I purchased 3 different decanters and this funnel/filter for them for Christmas. I, who knows nothing about wine, noticed the difference. More importantly, my son and his wife noticed a big difference! They used the funnel & filter to pour the wine into the decanter. You could see remnants of sediment in the filter after they poured the wine. The wine had a smoother feel to it as I drank it. It didn't have a slight bite like wines poured straight from the bottle.
So, if you are a wine buff and want to improve on the taste and texture of your wine, then add this WMF funnel/filter to your wine accessories. You will not be disappointed.
Customer Review: Great For Filtering KOMBUCHA too !
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this for filtering kombucha tea directly into flip top bottles and it works great . Kombucha tea is a probiotic fermented tea that is easy to make only requiring tea,sugar and a SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast) culture. Often slimy strands of culture will form in your brewing container , and the funnel does a good job of making sure none of them get into your bottles .
Kombucha has been around for thousands of years and has helped many people overcome many illnesses. Do an internet search for kombucha for more info . Ebay has tons of sellers for kombucha cultures as well . Once you have a culture you never need to repurchase .
Oh, by the way , this funnel works great for red wine and for old world style unfiltered beers that can contain much sediment.
Customer Review: Perfect Wine aerator and funnel
Summary: 5 Stars
I have several wine aerators that are supposed to make the wine taste better and help with pouring. However, if you have a really good wine that you are going to decant, then this funnel is the way to go. We opened a great 1996 red wine for our Christmas dinner, instead of waiting for 20 to 30 minutes it was ready to drink in 5 and the filter caught all of the sediment. (We needed it ready in 5, our first bottle opened had gone bad.) This aerates the right way using it with one of the flat bottomed carafes you can find on Amazon: sprays the wine out at a right angle in a 360 degree circle so it runs down all sides of the carafe. Max air, minimum mess (and saved the dinner party.)
It also works great on less expensive wines :)
Customer Review: The flavor change is easy to detect!
Summary: 5 Stars
We could not be any happier with this device. My spouse tasted the improvement immediately. Helps wine just as well as the $500+ units used in some very expensive restaurants. The strainer is very fine mesh and easily strains the wine of cork bits and other undesirable objects, and the strainer goes in place in an instant.
The neck of the funnel is about 3/4", and does not fit most wine bottles. It does fit well in both of our decanters.
The fit and finish of this strainer are very well done, the unit is fairly easy to clean.
