Serving wine at the right temperature makes a real difference to how it tastes, and aerating it beforehand can soften tannins and open up the flavour. Wine coolers and chillers take the guesswork out of getting a bottle ready to pour.
The Avanti Deluxe Wine Aerator Set with Stand aerates as you pour, while the Avanti Insulated Wine Cooler is designed to keep a bottle at serving temperature once it is chilled.
An aerator softens a young red as it is poured, so you can enjoy a more open, rounded glass without decanting in advance. Store bottles ready to use in wine racks until you are ready to chill and serve.
An insulated cooler holds a bottle at the right temperature through a long dinner, so the last glass tastes as good as the first. For wine on the move, coolers and carry bags offer the same chilling benefit in a portable form, and a set of wine stoppers keeps any leftovers fresh overnight.
Lighter reds benefit from a slight chill, around 12 to 16 degrees, while an insulated cooler helps maintain that temperature once poured.
An aerator introduces oxygen into the wine as it is poured, which can soften tannins and bring out more of the wine's aroma and flavour.
An insulated wine cooler typically maintains serving temperature for a couple of hours, making it well suited to a dinner or gathering.
