My wife and I enjoy drinking wine. Wine always tastes better when it's aerated, which can take an hour or longer waiting for it to do in an open bottle or poured in a glass. I have used per glass wine aerators that seem to work fairly well, but they are a bit cumbersome to use for each glass of wine you want to pour. I have used wine decanters, also, but wine can still take a while to aerate, and you need to drink the whole bottle or it goes to waste. What sets this Menu Winebreather Carafe apart from these is you can decant wine into a carafe and accelerate aeration at the same time.
This product arrives nicely boxed. The one I ordered was undamaged from shipping. The only parts are the glass carafe, which holds more wine than it appears, a rubber adapter to fit the carafe and a standard wine bottle, and a top to seal the adapter. Instructions provided with this product pertained to an entirely different product (a wine chiller), but it really didn't matter as it is easy to figure out how to use it. The rubber adapter fits into the carafe securely. It has an inner nipple that fits a standard wine bottle. You simply install the adapter, open the wine bottle, and turn the carafe upside down so the adapter nipple can be inserted into the wine bottle. You then turn the entire assembly upside down so the wine can empty into the carafe. It empties slowly, over a minute or two, and wine dribbles along the inner edges of the carafe for aeration. The carafe did not look big enough, but it does hold the entire contents of a standard wine bottle. Once the wine bottle has emptied into the carafe you can remove it and either leave the adapter in the carafe or remove it as well. I find the wine continues to aerate better if you remove the adapter after filling it, but you can pour wine without spilling it easier with the adapter in place. Either way, when you are done drinking wine you can put the adapter in the carafe and seal it with the included top, or you can put the wine bottle back on and empty the contents of the carafe back into the wine bottle. The major advantage to doing this is, if you have a vacuum wine stopper that can pump air out of the wine bottle (manual ones work very well and are inexpensive
Vacu Vin Wine Saver Pump with 2 x Vacuum Bottle Stoppers - Black
), you can essentially recork your wine bottle and remove air to preserve it longer.
Aside from the entertainment of watching wine shower into the carafe, this product does improve the flavor of wine. It seems to aerate well, and the flavor of wine I used with it did seem to improve right away. Compared with other wine decanters I've seen, this Menu Winebreather Carafe is inexpensive and is more functional. If you enjoy drinking wine and want to bring out maximum flavor and smoothness, this product is well worth consideration.

Love this carafe
The first time I experienced this carafe was on New Year's Eve (2019) when a friend brought over this gem to let breathe a 2000 bottle of Bourdeaux. We poured one glass and then decanted the rest to compare afterwards. I loved this so much that we bought one in Jan 2020. Of course, since COVID-19, this bad boy has sat on our dining room table for everyday use as we drink up our wine cellar supply. :)I do find it a bit difficult to clean not just because of the shape but I am just worried I will break the glass if I drop it. However, I really have not had many problems with stains since I rarely keep wine in there beyond one evening, it does not really stain. The beauty of this carafe is that the wine can be stored back in the original wine bottle.
